Embarking on 2 years of providing community news, the Downsview Advocate team is glad for all of the lessons learned thanks to the local community. Starting out with a circulation of 10 000 and now at a circulation of 25 000, we are committed to being the Voice of Downsview with coverage for and by local members of the community. Growing up in Downsview myself, it was important that we established a local newspaper that reached communities and folks who have not received local news information before. Through our circulation, we not only reach out to single family houses, but also to residents in condos, apartments and townhouses - which make up a vast amount of our community. We have shared local issues from high auto insurance rates, pipelines and hospital parking to community events, local initiatives and people's personal and touching stories. Our team has grown and thanks to your feedback and encouragement, we are continuing to grow, now with two versions of the paper in Bathurst Manor and University Heights-Black Creek. Thank you to all of our local businesses and their support in keeping this project going. And most importantly ‎the Downsview Advocate team would like to thank you, the reader. The paper would not have grown had it not been for your feedback, letters to the editor, photo submissions and insight. We look forward to bringing you more local news!
