This week, Manitobans took to the polls to vote in a history-making provincial election. But that ballot is small potatoes compared to your next ballot – the Uniter 30!

The 30 is our annual readers’ poll in which we ask you, our beloved patrons, to vote on your favourite stuff of the last year in 30 different categories. Do you have a favourite spot to grab a bite to eat? A park bench where you always take your sweetheart for an outdoor snuggle? A politician you were happy to see win (or lose) on Oct. 3? This is your chance to be heard.

It’s also a chance for readers to participate in the creation of the paper, to dictate what we write about and to have your voices heard in the city. Also, it’s just a lot of fun for us here at the editorial team.

To cast your votes, visit uniter.ca or fill out a physical ballot and drop it in the mail slot at our office, room 0RM14 on the mezzanine level of the Bulman Centre.

I look forward to tallying your votes and seeing what music, movies and mayhem you rascals got up to this year.
