The multiple-award-winning Jewish Independent newspaper is one of Vancouver’s oldest and most respected Jewish community institutions. Established in 1930, we provide a place for the entire community, regardless of affiliation, politics, gender, orientation, ability, denomination or age, to find out what their Jewish community has to offer. We carry articles on an incredibly diverse range of topics, from the next seniors home tea to the next beat box concert, from interviews with the transgendered artist to the Chabadnik, from financial planning advice to home renovation ideas, from book and movie reviews to commentary on issues related to Judaism and living a Jewish life.
Since June 1999, the Jewish Independent – formerly the Jewish Western Bulletin – has been owned and operated by Western Sky Communications Ltd., which also provides a diverse range of writing, editing, public relations and distribution services.
To help support the Jewish Independent, for a paper or electronic subscription, and for any inquiries concerning the services offered by Western Sky, email owner/publisher Cynthia Ramsay, [email protected].
