The Gleaner is rated 3 out of 5 in the category newspapers. Read and write reviews about The Gleaner. Founded 156 years ago in 1863, the Huntingdon Gleaner was owned by various family businesses for most of its history. Even though it was technically a private business, local ownership conveyed the title of ‘community newspaper’ as is typical across Canada. As happened with the majority of print media outlets around that time, The Gleaner became part of a chain in 1985, and saw various owners over the years. In 2018, the owner, Gravité Média, reached out to the community to see if there was any interest in acquiring the title. Shortly thereafter, a non-profit community organization was formed to put plans into action to revive the publication as a true community newspaper. The June 5, 2019 relaunch of The Gleaner with a souvenir print edition serves as an important step towards regular publication in order to serve the residents of Quebec's Chateauguay Valley again.
