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.

“Denman’s Blackberry Faire... people came to witness the Denman pirate-themed parade... ranging from pick-up truck mermaids, to a chicken on a leash... the arrival of school for just a moment... the zucchini race – a family favourite... First place went to Terry, who dedicated the racer and victory to the Guesthouse.” — The Islands Grapevine – September 6th, 2018 (September 6th, 2018)
