Foundation:
In 1924, a group of Pointe-Claire teenagers started a newspaper in their garage - their dream was to keep the area's residents informed of local happenings and major events. The dream is still alive after eight decades. The Chronicle has grown into the award-winning newspaper we know today, having been named Quebec's best by the QCNA for the past seven consecutive years. What's more, it's been regularly ranked among the best 10 titles nationally.
Coverage: Beaconsfield, Kirkland, Baie-d'Urfé, Pointe-Claire, Roxboro, Dollard-des-Ormeaux and Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.
Run: 50,000 copies weekly
