The Gleaner – Five years after relaunch

Five years already! It’s hard to believe.

Chateauguay Valley Community Information Services (CVCIS) is the non-profit which acquired the rights to The Gleaner five short years ago. The CVCIS board of directors is made up of seven individuals from the Chateauguay Valley, each one bringing their individual perspective to our meetings which results in a well-balanced and forward-thinking group. Besides the obvious success of the bi-weekly edition of The Gleaner, the CVCIS has noted other important accomplishments.

Two years ago, The Gleaner was given the status of a Registered Journalism Organization which means that we are able to issue charitable donation receipts for income tax purposes.

The Gleaner has been diligent in ensuring that it contains original French content as well as well-translated articles which were originally written in English. Keeping all residents of the Chateauguay Valley informed has always been a priority. Making the most of the expertise acquired by our staff, they recently branched out with their Quebec Connect resources and have been including original stories from our Indigenous communities. Our region is rich in culture and community.

The board recognizes the endless talents of the award-winning staff who put out our bi-weekly Gleaner. They are also very grateful for government support at both the federal and provincial levels. Last but not least, we are fortunate to be part of such a supportive community; our readers and our advertisers make this possible.

Carry on.

President, CVCIS
