Change coming to our online presence

TO OUR VALUED READERS,

As a reminder, after many years of running multiple websites (TheVanguard.ca, DigbyCourier. ca and TheCoastGuard.ca), we’re moving to a single digital home for all Yarmouth County, Shelburne County and Digby County community content. On Tuesday, Jan. 28, all our sites will move to the Yarmouth and Southwest Nova Scotia section of SaltWire.com.

This is great news for our journalists. This move is important to us. Rather than spending our time updating three websites, we’ll be able to find and tell even more of the local stories that matter to our readers. On SaltWire.com you can expect the same kind of community content you are used to reading for free, and you can explore the premium stories available for our area and nearby communities.

You will get three free premium articles per month or you can become a member and get access to all our content, including special features and premium stories.

Not to worry, the associated print publication, Tri-County Vanguard, will remain unchanged. SaltWire.com will become its single, streamlined digital counterpart. We know our readers have experienced a lot of change over the years, and we appreciate your patience and support as we work towards a sustainable model for local news.

We’re committed to making this change as easy for you as possible. On Jan. 28, the website URLs you are used to will automatically redirect to the Yarmouth and Southwest Nova Scotia section of SaltWire.com, where you will find even more stories from this region. You can also go directly to SaltWire.com and choose this section from the top left-hand corner location-picker.

We're looking forward to having even more time to focus on what matters most: finding and telling the local stories that are important to our communities.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. See you at SaltWire.com.

Your newsroom team,

Tina Comeau, Eric Bourque, Carla Allen and Kathy Johnson
