Editor: I have written numerous letters to the editor over the last many years, and this will be my last.
Thank you for all your years of providing us with the Burnaby NOW. I have lived most of my 7 decades in Burnaby; Grades 1-12, SFU, taught for 35 years in Burnaby elementary schools, and volunteered for another eight.
I have always looked forward to receiving the Burnaby NOW at my door. At one point, there was no delivery person for my area, so I drove to the office each week to pick up my copy.
I have loved reading about kids I taught, people I know, wonderful events held here, and all your human interest stories.
It deeply saddens me that you are unable to continue publishing, and I will miss the Burnaby NOW newspaper very much.
Thanks for everything, and I wish you and all of your employees the best of luck.

Editor: We are so sad to hear that the Burnaby NOW, New West Record and Tri-City News will stop their paper publication.
The Burnaby NOW has been part of our lives for past 40 years. It has kept us abreast of all Burnaby news, events, issues facing Burnaby, the city council news. The loss will be tremendous, especially for old people who await the paper copy week after week from our very “Old Faithful” Burnaby NOW by Glacier Media. No other media can take the place of a community newspaper. They serve the citizens directly.
Thank you for being part of our lives and we will miss you more than you can imagine. But we wish you the very best with your digital publication.
Our heartfelt gratitude for serving Burnaby citizens for past 40 years. Thanks to all the carriers who have grown up delivering the paper copy faithfully and on time. Best wishes,
Bansi Gandhi
