Administrative history / Biographical sketch
The first newspaper in Beaverlodge was called the Beaverlodge Herald Tribune and was purchase by father and son team Peter and Trevor Harris in 1956. The Harrises changed the name to The Beaverlodge Advertiser. In 1959 a newspaper was also started in Grande Prairie and was called Grande Prairie Advertiser. The Grande Prairie newspaper was in operation from February until June of 1959 with Peter acting as Editor. In 1959, Trevor and his wife became the sole owners of the Beaverlodge Advertiser which they ran for the next 52 years.
The Beaverlodge Advertiser reported on local events, people, and items of interest to people in the community and surrounding area.
