Paula KirmanApril 1 has special significance in my life. It was on that date in 2006 that I received a call informing me that I had been selected as the new Editor at Boyle McCauley News. Here I am, 20 years later. The April-May edition marks this two decade milestone. Thank you to the community, the other staff, the board, the volunteers, and everyone who has supported me and the paper over the years.

2025 tested our capacity and proved our value, as we navigated challenging economic times, covered a pivotal municipal election, and deepened our engagement with the Edmonton region. The result was our most impactful year yet.

Likely Jan LukasWhy oh why am I surprised that the editor found this assignment uproarously funny? 🙄
The situation is funny, sure -- but the text of her article/column certainly doesn't sound like this was her idea, but his, and she does not sound pleased to be there at all. 😡
