History
The Vancouver Daily Province was launched in 1898, although founder Hewitt Bostock had established it five years earlier in Victoria as “The Province.” With the Klondike Gold Rush, it was decided that Vancouver would be a better location for operations.
Bostock soon entered into a partnership with Walter C Nichol, who eventually became sole proprietor. In 1923, the Southam Organization acquired the newspaper and in 1952 the name was changed to the Vancouver Province. Finally, in 1956 the company settled on calling the newspaper “The Province.”
The paper is now owned by the Postmedia Network Inc company.
