Local journalism needs your support

The Times Colonist has been a vital part of life on Vancouver Island for more than 160 years, and our team remains committed to being your most trusted source of news and information for many years to come.

As part of that commitment, our reporting is free for everyone. But quality journalism costs money – and if you would like to become a supporter, we would welcome your contribution.

It’s easy to get involved. You can make a one-time contribution or a continuing pledge that you can cancel anytime.

Thank you!
