Something Special

Late last week, I received a large parcel delivered to my home. As I opened the package, I began to realize that a group of Slaw’s authors had banded together to create a gift for me!

Below is a photo of the very large framed canvas that I received. You can click on the image to read through the many notes of thanks, encouragement, and even a poem. :)

I am more than appreciative. Our authors here at Slaw are very busy with their professional lives, not to mention their dedicated writing.

Like my friend Simon before me, Slaw is a labour of love. My role is to build our team of columnists, create a protected space for legal voices and authorship within Canada (or a little beyond); and then let them shine!

2024 marks Slaw’s nineteenth year and my 10th as the editor. I have never enjoyed it more! Once again, we should eclipse 1.5 million visits; and the notes I receive from both readers and authors make me confident that we continue to make a difference.

So I offer my genuine thanks to Slaw’s columnists! We make a great team.

  5. I remember when Slaw was just a twinkle in Simon Fodden’s eye. But I can’t believe it’s been 10 years much less 19.

    Thank you for all your work and all you do, Steve .
