A lot happened in BayToday's coverage area in 2019, but what was the single biggest story of the year?
At a lot of news organizations, a few reporters gather to decide for you what they think is the biggest story, but we want to put that decision in the hands of those whose lives were actually affected by the events of 2019, you our readers.
What stands out to you?
Some things to consider might be the impact the story has, not just in the city, but more broadly. What are the story's implications? Did it create widespread interest/controversy? How about its uniqueness?
Last year's winner, by a wide margin, and chosen by BayToday readers was "FOI filed by private citizen reveals details of CAO Knox departure" with 1,850 votes cast, with the Freedom of Information story, garnered 431 votes, or about 24 per cent of the total.
You may have one, not on the list, but you can discuss that in our comments section.
We've set up a poll you can find elsewhere on our main page. What do you think? Take our poll now.
