Driftwood delayed until Thursday due to snow

The Feb. 5 edition of the Gulf Islands Driftwood newspaper will be available one day late due to this week’s snowfall.

The paper is normally picked up from the press in the Lower Mainland on Tuesdays for distribution on Wednesdays. Unsafe driving conditions prompted a decision to delay pick-up by one day.

Subscribers to the digital edition will still be able to access Wednesday’s paper at the usual early morning time.

Several stories that appear in the paper will also be available on this website.
