This week, we take a moment to recognize an outstanding charitable donation, and we remember the late Michael Dawe a year after his passing. Then, we introduce you to all the members of our Red Deer newsroom; that includes Pattison Media Alberta news director, Sheldon Spackman (00:23); our Rocky Mountain House reporter, Jordan Rein (8.58); the newest member of the team, Ian Gustafson (16:37); and last, but not least, City Hall reporter Ashley Lavallee-Koenig (23:01). We hear about some of the team's favourite stories from the year that was.
