Similkameen News Leader shares current and archived weekly news from Princeton, British Columbia.
About Similkameen News Leader
The Similkameen News Leader was a weekly newspaper serving Princeton, British Columbia, and the Similkameen Valley. This website is an archive of that publication. Its menus list monthly archives from 2008 through 2015, and its current news section contains a 2016 notice that the paper had ceased publication. The final issue was dated July 26, 2016, after what the publisher described as nearly 20 years as an independent newspaper.
The site is useful for looking up local coverage from the listed archive years and for reading the 2016 closure notice and related items, including a November 2016 article about a Rotary Club event honouring former owners. Because the paper has stopped publishing, the site does not show new weekly issues. Pricing is not stated.
