In addition to a curated Village Picks column, the site also includes a news feed from other Canadian media outlets. The site is currently free of ads and free of charge.

            “This website has all the essential news you need to know in one central place: national, international, sports and business,” says Jeff Elgie, CEO of Village Media. “Until now, there was not a news aggregator like this in Canada. We are excited to provide this critical resource and for readers to give it a try.”
