For many of our readers, Facebook has been the easiest way to discover and share stories from Delta City News. If you've noticed that our articles are no longer appearing with clickable links, you're not imagining things.

Unfortunately, Facebook currently prevents us from sharing direct links to Delta City News articles in the same way we once could. When we include links to our website, our posts are restricted or cannot be shared into local community groups. If we remove the links, the posts are accepted.

For a community newspaper built around keeping local residents informed, that presents a significant challenge.

The reality is that thousands of Delta residents have discovered local stories through Facebook over the past several years. Since these restrictions began affecting our posts, readership has dropped dramatically—not because local news is less important, but because it has become harder for readers to reach it through Facebook.

The good news is that Delta City News isn't going anywhere.

We remain committed to providing independent, community-focused journalism covering the stories that matter most to Delta residents—from local government and business to schools, sports, healthcare, development and community events.

How You Can Help

If you enjoy reading Delta City News, there are a few simple ways you can continue supporting local journalism:

• Search for Delta City News whenever you want to read the latest local stories.
• Visit DeltaCity.News directly in your web browser.
• Subscribe to our free email newsletter so stories arrive in your inbox.
• Share our publication name with friends and neighbours, even if Facebook won't let you share the article link.

Every reader, every subscriber and every recommendation helps us continue covering the community we all call home.

Looking Ahead

Technology and social media platforms will continue to change, but our mission remains the same: delivering trusted, relevant local news for Delta residents and businesses.

Thank you for your continued support, your encouragement, and for helping us build a stronger, better-informed community.

We look forward to serving Delta for many years to come.
For the long term vision we are open to a collaborative relationship with an organization or business professional in Delta. Please connect to explore. I have a passion for this project but could use a partner to bring it to full potential.

Why It Matters

Strong local journalism depends on strong local communities. While social media platforms may change how stories are distributed, the need for accurate, community-focused reporting has never been greater.
