The Cowichan Leader was a Canadian newspaper published weekly in Duncan, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, for 110 years until its closing in April 2015. This closure occurred under ownership of Black Press.
The Cowichan Leader was founded by Harry Smith in 1905, with the first issue appearing on April 28th. Initial subscription rates were set at $2.00 per year, or $1.25 per half year.
The Cowichan Leader (1905-1985)[1] merged with the Cowichan News (1976-1985) to form the Cowichan News Leader (1985-1994), and finally the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial, which ceased in 2015.[2] The closure established the Cowichan Valley Citizen, a competing paper purchased by Black Press during 2014 labour action by Cowichan News Leader Pictorial staff, as the only regional paper for a time.
Together, these various community papers reflect aspects of life in the Cowichan Valley throughout the intensive settlement and industrial development of the twentieth century, representing a rich body of community stories that support insight into social and political life, economic activity, and relations between the settlers who came to stay and the Cowichan people who are Indigenous to the Valley.
In 2018, the Library of Vancouver Island University (VIU) undertook to digitize and provide an Open Access digital archive for early issues of the Cowichan Leader to ensure preservation of content of regional significance, as well as to provide access for citizens and scholars.[3] Microform for the Cowichan papers is also held by the VIU Library by the BC Archives, and by the Cowichan Valley Museum Archives.
