Canadian News Coverage from Canada Press

Welcome to Canada Press at www.canpress.ca! We put this website together as a quick resource for finding the top news stories across Canada from various publications. Here on our homepage you'll find feeds from some of the top Canadian news publications that are constantly updated throughout the day. Our goal was to create a convenient way for Canadians to access news at the tip of their fingertips with an easy to remember site at canpress.ca.

Below you will find national Canada news, but if you're looking for more localized news we also have pages that can be accessed from our top menu for popular cities in Canada. We're looking to expand and add new cities very shortly, so if you're city is not yet available we do apologize but it will be added soon. Please feel free to contact us with any comments or suggestions!
