The Bay Observer was established in 2008 to provide a fresh perspective on news and opinion of interest to readers in the Hamilton Burlington area as well as the broader GTHA. Initially a print publication reaching 30,000 households, the Bay Observer has now become one of the fastest growing online publications in the region reaching hundreds of thousands of discriminating news consumers each month. One thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to quality journalism and opinion that adheres to the best traditions and practices of the craft.
