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... Since many were awaiting the zucchini race – a family favourite - its arrival was an excitement for even myself. Featuring zucchinis with flower decorations, minions, and dinosaurs... Witnessing all the positive energy made me forget the arrival of school for just a moment.” — The Islands Grapevine – September 6th, 2018 (September 6th, 2018)
