With municipal elections scheduled for Oct. 20, Tri-City residents look to The Tri-City News to get informed on the issues and the campaign.
When community groups want to raise awareness about their upcoming events, they turn to The Tri-City News for that, too.
When residents are angry about an injustice they see in our community, one of the first places they call is The Tri-City News to inform the public.
When any local person wants to catch up on what’s going on locally, yup, it’s the same community newspaper that is their go-to source.
This newspaper has been in your community since 1985, documenting local history and entertaining you.
We say all this because this week is National Newspaper Week. The theme this year is Local News Matters and it’s not just a slogan — it’s a way of life for everyone here at The Tri-City News.
We know this to be true because we hear it from readers every day.
You tell us that you read stories in our paper that you can’t find anywhere else.
You tell us in the letters to the editor highlighting an issue or an event because these things matter to the community.
Our community is growing bigger and denser every year. Progress is good but the more our city grows, the smaller and more lost people can feel in it. This newspaper is an important part of connecting residents of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra to the rest of the community.
We do this by covering the issues that matter to you, from news items to community events, from arts and entertainment attractions to athletes in action. We do this by offering a web platform in which groups can post their events so other people can find out what’s going on around the corner.
We also make it easy to find the information you are looking for, whether it’s on your desktop, tablet, phone — or, of course, having the paper hand-delivered right to your doorstep for free.
We know modern life is busy. We know you only have so much time to be involved in your community. That’s why reading The Tri-City News every day online, or twice a week after it hits your doorstep, is an easy way to find out the local information that matters to you.
Thanks for reading and supporting a business that supports your community.
