The Gleaner is one of the oldest community newspapers in Quebec, originally established in 1863 as the Canadian Gleaner to serve residents of the Chateauguay Valley with local journalism and civic information. The Gleaner’s mission centers on strengthening community connection by providing reliable reporting on local affairs, culture, and public discourse that might otherwise go unreported in larger media outlets.
