About Grand Parade

Grand Parade is an independent publication launched in 2025 by Matt Stickland. It's available in both print and electronic versions.

Yes, print

The planet's tech oligarchs can't stop you from reading a physical paper in your city to get information you need about city hall. That's why you can pick up hard-copy issues of Grand Parade at Atlantic News and the King's Co-Op Bookstore. It even has a crossword!

Meanwhile on the web

Browsing the site is unquestionably a delight, but for the full electronic Grand Parade experience, you'll want to sign up for our email newsletter. It's free to subscribe, so you definitely should, because this is the only publication anywhere with a full-time focus on Halifax City Hall and the city's Regional Council. Free subscribers get full access to most of the website, as well as free access to last week's newspaper. But if you'd like to support local journalism and you can afford it, please take the next step and sign up for a paid subscription. Paying for reporting goes a long way to making this site possible, allowing Grand Parade to continue to exist. Thank you!
