2016 Year in Review

2016 has been called every name under the sun. And truly, 2016 will go down as the year of bizarre world politics, Fort McMurray on fire, and the year of infinite losses of influential musicians, artists and actors. Like any year though, there were good times and bad times…

Here’s a flick through the year’s blogs at some of the events that unfolded during 2016.

RIP Prince Rogers Nelson, April 2016
