The Suburban
Established in 1963, this community-focused publication serves as the largest English-language weekly newspaper in Quebec, providing localized news and editorial coverage for Montreal’s suburban regions. It is notable for its enduring legacy as a voice for the island’s West Island and off-island populations, balancing hyper-local reporting with a perspective on broader provincial political issues.
