The Richmond Hill Liberal is a Canadian newspaper based in Richmond Hill, Ontario and servicing Richmond Hill and surrounding communities since 1878[1] as a weekly[2] local newspaper.[3] It usually gives full coverage to all local council meetings.[4]
The paper was founded in 1878 after the Conservative York Herald (the town's only paper) attacked the more progressive Richmond Hill council.[5]
Thomas F. McMahon purchased the newspaper in 1884,[6] and was the editor until his death in 1925.[7] James H. Ormiston was a later editor.[8]
Richmond Hill LIberal printed its last paper version on September 14, 2023 after its parent company, Metroland Media Group, entered bankruptcy protection and transitioned the paper into digital-only.[9]
