We asked our reporters, directors, producers and video journalists to share what news stories they felt had the most impact this past year.

From some of Quebec's most outspoken politicians, a hockey hall-of-famer and one of the province's most notable religious leaders, Global News remembers those who passed away in 2015.

From Luka Magnotta withdrawing his appeal to former Quebec Lieutenant Govenor Lise Thibault being charged with fraud, here are some of Montreal's biggest crime stories of 2015.

From smart bins to reduced frequency of pick-up, garbage was the talk of the town in two West Island communities in 2015.

Montreal is full of people committed to making a difference: there are stories of hope and redemption, beating the odds and overcoming unspeakable tragedies, stories of discoveries and of people who lead by example.

Politics has always been a hot subject in Quebec, and this year was no exception.
