I'm spending some quality time with family and friends these few days before embarking on a little vacation to soggy southern California. I wanted to wish everyone and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, while I pause and reflect on 2010.
A reflection in numbers
January
2 MLAs cross the floor from the Progressive Conservatives to the Wild Rose Alliance.
February
14 gold medals, the highest ever winter Olympic total.
March
4,900,000 barrels of oil began to flood into the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
April
May
June
857,901,850.31 dollars spent for the G20 summit in Toronto.
July
218 metres stands the Bow, eclipsing the Suncor Energy Centre as Calgary's tallest building.
August
500 lit orbs travel down the Bow River.
September
15 candidates file their papers to run for mayor.
October
53% of Calgarians voted in the municipal election.
November
4 Alberta Health Services Board resignations after 1 CEO firing.
December
9 Aldermen vote to change the title of Aldermen to Councillor.
I regret not being able to shape the numbers in a way reminiscent of a Partridge in a Pear Tree, but sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles. What was newsworthy to you in 2010?
