About The Pocket
Founded in 2003, The Pocket newsletter is a newsletter serving all residents of the Pocket neighbourhood. It is put together by a dedicated team of about a dozen Pocket volunteers. Published once or twice a year, each issue typically includes an editorial, in-depth feature articles, short updates on recent news in the neighbourhood, and a listing of upcoming events. Our editorial mandate is to feature only stories that are unique and specific to the Pocket neighbourhood; we cover local history, profile Pocket residents and nearby places and organizations, and generally document “what’s been happening” in the Pocket. The newsletter is funded by advertising and donations and delivered by hand to every residence in the neighbourhood by our volunteers. The newsletter is independently run and is not part of the Pocket Community Association.
