FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VANCOUVER, B.C., September 28, 2026 — ARQS today announced that Townline has been added to the ARQS.ca portfolio as its local digital platform for British Columbia. Townline went live on arqs.ca on September 13 with a Kelowna edition and now gives each of its towns a local edition with news, events, weather, roads, businesses and community information.

One edition per town

Townline covers 17 B.C. towns, including Vancouver, Victoria, Kamloops, Penticton, Vernon and Nelson. Each edition stays connected to the wider network, so residents and visitors can move between towns without starting over.

What the platform does

Townline Today collects local headlines, while Townline LIVE shows roads, transit, markets and city signals through the day. Events and tickets lists what's on, and the Ticket Hub helps organisers sell tickets without sending customers away. The business pages and local directory connect people with local places, and the community section covers lost and found, neighbourhood updates and groups.

For local businesses

Businesses can advertise with Townline or review Townline membership options. Townline also links to West Coast News for wider regional coverage.

Availability

Townline is available now at arqs.ca/townline. Visitors can also play local Townline games.
