The St. Catharines Standard has been in publication since 1891, and its team remains devoted to the publication’s roots in local history. Readers can learn about health and travel in the paper’s daily Life section, or consult the op-ed column for conversation topics to bring up while milking the family cow.

Niagara Falls Review

The Niagara Falls Review was established in 1879 and has been informing locals about national and local high-school sports, international and hyperlocal news, and issues such as health, food, and travel on a daily basis since the 1930s. It runs regular columns offering the papers’ curated editorial opinion on news and local politics, so readers can pick up on the important political arguments of the day without starting a bare-knuckle fight with the nearest councillor.
