Can of Words Editorial

It is with some astonishment that we have come to the First Anniversary edition of Can of Words.

Those of you who have followed our progress will have noted that there were some bright ideas in the earlier editions that did not generate a lot of public interest and for that reason those pages of the ezine have not continued. Those that have continued, have showcased talent from the very young to the much more senior members of our community - which has been the one of the objectives of Can of Words.

Other objectives are yet to be addressed. Collecting Recollections from those people of Non- English speaking and Indigenous backgrounds for example needs further application this year. Any ideas to assist in this will be most helpful.

However the main objectives, which will be ongoing, that is, to foster community engagement, create an online civic space, encouraging and supporting literary and cultural interests and encourage utilisation of the library and new technologies have all been, and will continue to be, addressed through this project.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement
