New Canadian Media was a member-based non-profit that showcased immigrant journalism. It ceased operations in November 2024. Village Media continues to host its vital archive of work at the same URL for the public good.

Effective October 26th, 2024, the registration of New Canadian Media as a Registered Journalism Organization was voluntarily revoked. New Canadian Media no longer issues official donation receipts and is no longer eligible to receive gifts from registered charities.

We want to thank our contributors and audience for being a part of our journey.
