Hi everyone,
This weekโs Sunday Briefing is a little differentโand fitting for our final edition before 2026.
First, weโre rounding up the stories you read the most this yearโthe interviews, investigations, and debates that clearly struck a nerve across B.C.โs tech ecosystem.
Then, weโre sharing a short list of stories we think are especially worth your time over the holidays: deeper reads, big-picture thinking, and a few pieces that help make sense of where things are headed next.
Thanks for reading, sharing, and debating along with us this year. Weโll be back in January.
P.S. You can still become a VTJ Insider for 50% offย โย but only until the end of the month.
