the best place in the city, on the seawall past the lions gate bridge, when the full ocean opens up and the pavement bends out of view. a world of possibilities, just waiting to be explored. -30-

I think that about covers it. I am so grateful for all the kind words from people, and look forward to once again reporting on this fascinating city and province in a year from now. I will miss this place dearly. But I can’t wait for the journey to come.

I might do some TikToks, but I might not! I like sharing what I see and learn, but for the first time in 16 years I’m under no professional obligation to do so. I’m excited and curious to see the ways I change or not during this trip, and that includes how much I’m online.

I’ll be posting at on Instagram (@justindmcelroy), where I have a very silly idea of posting a quintessential food or drink once a day from every country I’m in. I’ll also be posting travel diaries in my newsletter, probably about once a week.

Alright, it’s time to wrap things up. I’ll be getting on a train to Toronto at 3pm, and at about 3:15 a friend will be changing my Twitter password and locking me out of here for a year. But if you want to follow along on my travels, here’s where to find me.

nobody:. me: the thing about the turn at the seawall past the lions gate bridge is the vastness of the ocean suddenly appears, and the road turns to the left without a hint of where it’s going next. a world of possibilities

lol park board still gonna be alive when i return.
#Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim’s confidence in quick provincial action to abolish Vancouver’s elected park board appears to have been misplaced: we've learned the BC Gov told Sim's office this week there will be no action on this before the Fall election. NEW:

In the six years doing the newsletter we managed to cover 73% of B.C.'s municipalities. So much of that was because of hardworking journalists across this province, and it was a privilege reading their work and crediting it every week.
