About Capilano Courier
The Capilano Courier is Capilano University’s number-one campus newspaper. In fact, we’re the only one, so we’re taking the cake by default. Established in 1968, the Courier is published monthly by the Capilano Courier Publishing Society, an independent non-profit society. The Courier is led by both students and alumni and is funded by student fees and the occasional bit of advertising.
The Courier’s coverage ranges from campus and community news, to feature profiles, reports on the Capilano Blues, opinion pieces, and everything else in between.
