autonomous publication, independent of the student union.

We are a registered society under the Society Act of British
Columbia, governed by an eight-person board of directors
appointed by and from our staff. Our head office is located
in the New Westminster campus.

The Other Press is published weekly during the fall

local and national advertising revenue. The Other Press
