The Crier is the little newspaper that could!
How fortunate are we, in the Seymour area, to have a physical newspaper to call our own. A beacon for the accomplishments of all of us.
Crier newspaper clippings are proudly displayed on the walls of some Cove residences, businesses and community gathering spaces. Last time we checked you can’t pin up an iPhone.
Here in this paper is where local students can get recognition for putting their nose to the grindstone.
Whether it’s earning a scholarship, picking up the reins of a sports team in jeopardy, or lobbying for a gender neutral bathroom – there will always be students doing something amazing. And we can’t risk letting that fly under the radar.
Having our youth propped up by the community at large is empowering and can only make the Cove’s close-knit feel more cohesive.
The Crier is committed to covering every corner of this community from Indian Arm to the Seymour River.
We are proud to inform and share in this area’s positive initiatives, from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s economic and environmental stewardship programs to District of North Vancouver parks staff enhancing the beauty of the Cove by stringing lights in the trees to twinkle at night.
And oh, how we enjoy singing the praises of our talented community theatre groups, Deep Cove Stage and First Impressions.
Development is already booming on the outskirts of the Cove, with some major projects currently proposed for the Seymour area.
It’s our hope that residents turn to the Crier for information on changes to the area and give us their opinions. Residents can help retain and stretch the strands of the Cove’s fabric.
Bruce Coney’s goal was to support local business by giving them space in the paper. In an era of online shopping our Cove retailers need support, otherwise Gallant would become a ghost town.
Valentine’s Day is a great chance to show Seymour small businesses the love.
On that subject, we say thank-you to all of our readers over the past 30 years!
