The local news paper in Flin Flon, the Reminder  which has a rich history in the community and in Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan has a new owner.

Ron Dobson has purchased the news paper from Glacier Media Group out of Vancouver,  so once again the news paper will be owned and operated locally. Dobson is no stranger to the news paper industry having worked for his father who was the original owner in 1946.

Dobson started delivering papers for his father in the 60’s and then went to journalism school in the 70’s and returned to write articles up until the late 80’s. Dobson says it feels really good to be back in the news paper business and looks forward to the challenge. " Well the news paper business has changed since I was involved in the 70's and 80's and it is a smaller version now. People are still interested in it because it is the community and I see people pick it up and they see what is going on in the community. My hope is to have other people participate in writing in it and expressing them selves through it. I think as long as we can remain a community news paper we will be ok."

If you have any interest in writing or being part of the Reminder you can reach out to Ron Dobson at 204-687-3454 or send an e-mail to rondobson2025@gmail.com. The Reminder would also like to thank local writer Eric Westhaver for all his hard work through out the years and wish him the best of luck as he starts a new career with the CBC.
