We’ve got good news.(Celebrating 115 years of serving the Elk Valley.)

Est. 1898

From the day we printed our very fi rst paper — back in 1898, � e Free Press has reported on the events, stories and legends of the Elk Valley. It’s tough to fi nd an area more authentic. Fact is, we’re one of the oldest newspapers in the entire Kootenays.� ere’s a reason for that.From the spectacular to the every day, we’ve printed it all, every week: our politicians’ plans, the public’s questions, main street businesses on their way up and local careers on their way down. � e hottest days and deepest snows. We’ve followed the crimes, punishments, performances and players, our hometown teams’ victories, overseas wars, Canadian news, and B.C. views. Community underdogs who’ve won, and loved oneswho we’ve lost.After more than a century we’re still doing our very bestto do the same.To be the Elk Valley’s newspaper.Your newspaper.
