After more than 40 years in journalism, 29 of them here in Montreal, I will be retiring on Feb. 25.

Over the course of my career, I have worked as a journalist in four Canadian cities: Victoria, Toronto, Edmonton (on two different occasions) and Montreal (twice).

I was at the Gazette near the start of my career; I came back to become editor in chief in 2013. In the past three and a half years, I have split my focus between my role here and my responsibilities as senior vice-president of editorial content for Postmedia, the news organization to which this newspaper belongs.

But the Gazette has always been my home and my lodestar, ever since I walked in the doors at 250 St.
