As a news junkie, I often get caught up in the doom and gloom stories of the day. Sometimes it takes a goofy Baby G smile, or Momma J hug to remind me that the world ain’t so bad. But I have to admit it was nice to read Patricia Pearson’s top five good news stories of the year. I found it refreshing to see a journalist putting things into perspective by pointing to progress that has been made in the last twelve months on some key issues that affect us all.
My favourite was Number 4. I think it’s something we need to try in Metro Vancouver, instead of looking to the government to fix all the problems in our inner-city schools by throwing money at them.
