Who We Are
Local Canadian News (LCN) is an independent bilingual media platform founded in 2018 to reconnect Canadians with the stories that matter most — right in their own communities. From breaking headlines in major cities to cultural moments across the country, we deliver reliable news and thoughtful storytelling in both English and French.
What started as a small newsroom in Toronto has grown into a dynamic digital project that reflects the diverse, vibrant, and ever-evolving fabric of Canadian life. We believe that local journalism is a cornerstone of democracy and that every community deserves to be seen, heard, and understood.
Our Mission
To deliver trusted, community-based journalism that informs, connects, and empowers people across Canada — in both official languages.
Our Values
- Integrity: We report the facts with accuracy, transparency, and fairness.
- Inclusivity: Our stories reflect the full spectrum of Canadian voices and experiences.
- Community: We focus on people, neighborhoods, and local change-makers.
- Accessibility: Every article is available in English and French to ensure no one is left out.
- Curiosity: We dig deeper — beyond headlines — to understand what really matters.
