For more than two decades, The Coast has made a difference in Halifax. Our stories have changed lives, challenged the powerful, brought attention to new talent and supported small businesses. We have done our best to reflect back the city we live, work and play in.

But the business of running a weekly newspaper has changed. Facebook and Google are effectively a global advertising monopoly, targeting our traditional sources of revenue using our content as a hook. To keep supporting The Coast, please pick up a copy of the paper, patronize our advertiser clients and let your government officials know that print still matters.
