B次元官网网址paper Carrier Appreciation Week in B.C. runs from Saturday (Oct. 13) through Oct. 20.

In Greater Victoria, the small army of Black Press carriers deliver free community newspapers to approximately 100,000 homes and businesses. Carriers are valued and appreciated for that weekly effort, Hogarth says, noting the job comes with a lot of responsibility.
