Send a news tip

The Sound runs on tips from people who live along the corridor. If something is changing in Lions Bay, Britannia Beach, Squamish, Whistler or Pemberton, such as a road project, a council decision, a development, a business opening or closing, or a community story, we want to hear about it.

What to send

• What happened, where and when.
• How you know, and anyone else we could ask.
• Links, public documents, photos or files that back it up. Only send photos you took or have permission to share.
• How to reach you if we have follow-up questions. You can choose to send a tip without contact details, but we may not be able to follow it up.

How we treat tips and sources

• A tip is a starting point, not a story. We verify everything independently before we publish anything.
• We do not publish your name or contact details without your permission.
• Tip submissions are stored in our website’s form system and are seen only by people working on Corridor 99’s editorial side. They are not shared with advertisers.
• No online form is perfectly anonymous. If your safety or job could be at risk, think carefully about what you include, and consider sending from a personal device and network.

What not to send

• Emergencies. If someone is in danger, or there is a fire, crash or other emergency, call 911. For wildfire reports, call 911 or BC Wildfire Service’s reporting line; we cannot dispatch help.
• Live road conditions. Check DriveBC.
• Other people’s private information, or material you obtained illegally.
• Advertising or press releases dressed up as tips. Use the advertise page or the contact form.
