Can it really be that time again? As the clock ticks down to Dec. 31, we can't help but look back over all that's happened in 2012.
It's certainly been a year of highs and lows in Burnaby, from tragic murders that left the city in a state of grief, to political hijinks that had us shaking our heads, and good news tales that renewed our faith in the world - along with plenty of quirky odds and ends to keep things interesting.
The Burnaby NOW editorial team sat down earlier this month to debate, argue, hash, re-hash and otherwise discuss the top stories of the year and the people behind them.
While some categories had clear winners, others took a bit more consideration to come to some final conclusions.
Our staff picks for news story of the year, newsmaker of the year, hometown hero of the year, quote of the year, apology of the year - and much more - fill our paper today.
