About Us

Serving Pender Island Community for 55 years.

The Pender Post is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit publication serving Pender Island and its neighbours since 1971. We share the news, voices and stories that connect our community.

Our current issue

Our history

Rooted in community.

The Pender Post is a cherished monthly community publication serving both residents and visitors of Pender Island, British Columbia. Published by The Pender Post Society, a non-profit organization managed by a volunteer board, it features articles from local clubs, groups, committees, non-profit societies, and volunteer members.

The Pender Post plays a vital role in fostering communication, unity, and engagement within the Pender Island community. Since 1971, it has served as a trusted source for Pender Island news, local updates, and things to do on our unique island.

Supporting Local Businesses and Volunteers

The Pender Post relies on contributions from community members and offers advertising opportunities for local businesses. This includes Pender Island real estate ads and business promotions, providing valuable insights for those considering relocating to Pender Island.

We make it easy to discover various health practitioners, contractors, real estate offices, places to stay, and dinner menus from local restaurants on both North Pender and South Pender Islands. When space allows, we also accept advertising from small off-island businesses that serve Pender Island residents and homeowners.

Get involved

Be part of the story.

The Pender Post is managed by a non-profit society and a volunteer board. We are looking for new board members who are passionate about community engagement and local journalism.

Board members are our links with the community organizations we support and they help direct the content we publish. They also help promote our magazine at Farmer’s Markets and other events, help organize events (like all candidates meetings), and assist in developing and proofreading content. Our board meets once a month for about an hour and a half, and we always serve treats at our meetings!
