Shelley Fralic of The Vancouver Sun writes:

“On Feb. 11, the eve of our birthday, we’ll publish a special section that will take you on an extensive in-paper and online trip down memory lane. It will include a full-page crossword puzzle, because we know that diversions are one of the reasons you’ve been reading us all these years.

We’ll also publish special monthly features throughout the year, from sports and entertainment to real estate and food, as well as online photo galleries. We’ll hold contests and promotions and even introduce our own Vancouver Sun Anniversary coffee, courtesy of a partnership with JJ Bean.

And there’s a book in the works, to be published this fall by Douglas & McIntyre, a hardcover and ebook chronicle of the newspaper’s legacy and the city and people it has covered for a century.

We hope you’ll join us, as we Watch The Sun Rise into our second century.”
