About Us

Delivered three times a week - Wednesday, Friday and Sunday - to more than 31,000 homes in White Rock and South Surrey. More than just a newspaper, the Peace Arch News is proud to take a leadership role in community events, including Vintage Affair, our annual fundraiser for White Rock South Surrey Foundation, Semiahmoo Bay Regatta, Tour de White Rock and many more. As part of our commitment to a vibrant community, we are active with amateur sports and youth, education and civic affairs.
