1000!
Watershed reaches publishing milestone
A thousand articles.
This one, of course, bumps us up to 1001. The Watershed's first article was published January 2, 2023, and in the nearly five years since then, we've been sharing all the news that matters to residents of Lions Bay and the Sea to Sky corridor.
We'd just like to take a moment to thank you, our readers, and especially those of you who subscribe to this publication. Your support, both moral and financial, helps keep this small publication — and independent journalism — alive and kicking.
And while we'd like to spend some time celebrating, there happens to be two elections to cover at the moment. Time to get back to work.
So happy reading! And if you have considered subscribing but not yet made the leap, take a look back through our archive. It has always been our goal to offer news in a timely fashion, using verifiable and trustworthy sources, and to encourage discussion in Lions Bay and beyond. Your contribution can help keep that happening — an ensure our community remains vibrant and well-informed.

Here are a few that I can think of:

The Watershed has made an immeasurable contribution to life in Lions Bay.

Thank you Karen for your dedication!
