[Yesterday, the Tree Frog News was bounced offline by the ‘bomb cyclone’ that hit the west coast. We send our gratitude to the hard working BC Hydro crews that restored our power, and the folks at Rogers/Shaw who later restored our internet services. We hope everyone else impacted by this rough weather got through it safely.]
