DenmanWorks Publicly Funded Denman Island Bus Service Publicity Controversy

governance · Denman Island Bus Service

Bronwyn Schuster, publicist for the Denman Island Bus Service sponsored by DenmanWorks, admitted to using their position to make false claims of bigotry against The Islands Grapevine, resulting in online outrage. The Islands Grapevine reported the incident and faced targeted backlash. No professional consequences were reported for Schuster.

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.
