It’s been a long year, the second year of dealing with COVID in people’s lives, businesses and communities.
The news coverage has been non-stop. As usual, we have focussed on the socioeconomic and political aspects of the news, offering insights and special interviews as we could. The load has been enormous.
Check out the Island Social Trends COVID archive here.
===== Specials:
Subscribers and loyal followers will be receiving a daily holiday-season special ENews, for the 12 days from December 26 through to January 6, 2022.
- Become a subscriber today, in order to receive the special 12-day package of news reflections and predictions.

===== Urgent news through the holidays:
Island Social Trends will cover urgent breaking news, of course. Other than that, we will be taking a break from the usual heavy-duty news stream (during Dec 24 through Jan 2).
===== Special notes:
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and wishing everyone a better-than-ever year in 2022!
And at this time, we’d like to give a special shout-out to our longest loyal advertisers, over many years! Including the Langford-Juan de Fuca Constituency Office (John Horgan, MLA), Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke MP Randall Garrison, Cowichan-Malahat-Langford MP Alistair MacGregor, SEAPARC Leisure Complex (CRD), Esquimalt-Metchosin MLA Mitzi Dean, Monk Office, Juan de Fuca Emergency Program, Langford Optometrists, Ledcor Development Ltd (Belmont condos in Langford), City of Langford, Dumont Tirecraft (in Sooke), OakTree Naturals (Langford), Sooke Region Museum, Sooke Fine Arts Society, WorkLink Employment Society, SD62, and others.
What these advertisers have in common is a realization of the importance of local independent journalism, notably here on south Vancouver Island. We thank you.
And the most important of the bunch are our readers and subscribers! Thank you for sharing this ongoing journey with us.
