Have Your Say!
We Want to Hear From You
This is our fourth issue on our newspaper journey, and what a journey it has been. From what started as a brainstorming session at my dining room table with the Pointe-Claire Citizens’ Association Executive Committee to the newspaper’s inception on January 25th, we have resurrected a 100-year-old newspaper to bring a bit more of our community to you, our readers.
Producing a newspaper is a lot of work, and even more so for a community paper run exclusively by volunteers. What we find makes the Record so special is you, the citizens of Pointe-Claire; you have stepped up with great articles and beautiful photos of Pointe-Claire and your furry friends.
Last month we changed the format of our newspaper, switching to Issuu and using a flipbook style. Our features and contributors are growing in number, and our potential is limitless. In order for us to keep growing, we count on the contributions of our readers and neighbours. If you want to tell us about your not-for-profit institution, your celebration of a milestone anniversary, a local business, a youth association, or just something of interest to you – we want to hear from you! We want your help in providing content about our great city, and we welcome you to become a part of the new Pointe-Claire Record.
We want to know what you like – and what you don’t, what you want to see more of, and what features we could add. We have put together a short survey about our first four issues, so feel free to look them all over. You can find the past issues on our website. This is an online newspaper that is interactive, so all you have to do to make your voice heard is go to the link below:
The First Ever Pointe-Claire Record Survey
One of our most popular features is our pet photos page, as well as pictures taken around town, and we encourage you to keep those submissions coming by sending them to pets@pcrecord.ca! Please include the name of your pet (yes, all pets are welcome) with your submission. Pictures of Pointe-Claire can be of an event, a beautiful shot of the landscape, or even your family participating in a local activity. We do keep all of your photos, so if you don’t see them this month, keep reading! You’re sure to see your photograph in one of our upcoming issues.
Please send your photos or articles to editor@pcrecord.ca. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, or click here to read our submission guidelines.
Thank you for your support, this is your newspaper!
