“We are delighted at the recognition we have received from the Canadian Community Newspaper Association,” said Coast Reporter publisher Peter Kvarnstrom.
“This validates that the work our staff do diligently every week in our community is some of the best done anywhere in Canada. The Sunshine Coast community provides great stories for our reporters to tell and to craft. For that we are thankful, as we are for the talent of our journalists, designers and the whole team at Coast Reporter.”
