Community Members Support Freedom of Expression and The Islands Grapevine

community

Several Denman and Hornby islanders publicly expressed support for The Islands Grapevine newspaper's editorial policy of publishing diverse viewpoints, emphasizing the importance of free speech and critical thinking in the community. They encourage continued advertising support to sustain the publication.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

The Islands Grapevine was our only news source willing to publish all sides of various contentious issues.” — The Islands Grapevine – October 19th, 2023 (October 19th, 2023)
