Across Greater Victoria, a small army of about 1,200 Black Press carriers deliver free community newspapers to approximately 100,000 homes and businesses.

Thanks to a little help from the Fairway Gorge Paddling Club and Fairway Market, the people who get the Victoria B次元官网网址, Saanich B次元官网网址, Oak Bay B次元官网网址, Peninsula B次元官网网址 Review, Goldstream Gazette and Sooke B次元官网网址 Mirror out to readers, enjoyed Carrier Appreciation Day with a paddle on the waters of the Gorge waterway Sept. 15.

The celebration under sunny skies comes ahead of international newspaper carrier day celebrated on Oct. 12. In Canada, national newspaper carrier day is marked on Sept. 4.

Anyone interested can email  or find contact information for their community news circulation manager on page 6 of their local paper. Publishers across the six papers thank the incredible carriers from Victoria B次元官网网址, Oak Bay B次元官网网址, Saanich B次元官网网址, Peninsula B次元官网网址 Review, Goldstream B次元官网网址 Gazette, and Sooke B次元官网网址 Mirror.
