North Renfrew Times

The North Renfrew Times is a weekly community newspaper that evolved from a mimeographed newsletter called the Deep River Digest. It provides comprehensive coverage of municipal council meetings, local environmental issues, community events, and local history. In 2017, the paper transitioned from being owned by a community association to an employee-owned model to ensure its continued independence and service to the region.
