About

For millennia, the spring freshet (FRESH-uht) of B.C.’s Fraser River has been a disruptive and regenerative force as the mighty stream swells with snowmelt and heavy rains before flowing into the sea.

The Freshet News Co-operative was founded with this image in mind. A worker-owned co-op, we see ourselves as a disruptive force in the corporate media landscape, where quality local news has been all but abandoned.

And for readers facing a news desert alongside a growing deluge of mis- and dis-information online, we aim to stand firm as a reliable source of quality journalism embedded in the community.
