Black Press Ltd., the largest independent newspaper publisher in Canada, recently bought the Abbotsford-Mission Times and the Chilliwack Times from the Glacier Media newspaper group. Currently, Black Press owns the Abbotsford News and Chilliwack Progess, the competing papers of both communities. The buyout will leave the local papers of Abbotsford and Chilliwack under the same ownership. Employees of the local newspaper were not willing to comment until more details have been released. At this point in time, nothing has been officially announced regarding the future of these papers. Neither Black Press Ltd. or Glacier Media could be reached for comment at press time.
