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.

“Following the run, people came to witness the Denman pirate-themed parade... Ranging from pick-up truck mermaids, to a chicken on a leash, the variety perfectly encapsulates Denman culture... The arrival of school for just a moment, and for that, I am thankful for all the splendid things the Denman Island Blackberry Faire represents.” — The Islands Grapevine – September 6th, 2018 (September 6th, 2018)
