While staying true to the original vision to publish news and events about Richmond that would provide information to new members of the community and local residents, the Richmond Sentinel continued to add news from B.C., Canada and international countries with a link to Richmond in print and on-line. We’ve added writers that bring an entertainment factor and stories that readers in Richmond could relate to or have an interest in while supporting community events and charities in print, digital and filmed videos.

In 2024, the video division has never been busier filming interviews which aired on Richmond Sentinel YouTube channel and website and published in the Richmond Sentinel community newspaper. We interviewed interesting business stories, and the achievements of many Richmond students in academics, sciences and the arts was refreshing chatting with them in our studio and sharing their stories with the community. Covering the B.C. election was important to interview on film and in print the candidates that accepted our invitation. With 18 candidates seeking to be elected to fill only four seats was important to us at the Richmond Sentinel to give every candidate equal opportunity to state why they were running. Of course, our annual filmed interview with Mayor Malcolm Brodie is something we look forward to every year. With only one take, the mayor really gets his message across. I welcome our readers to go to our website and view in detail the city’s accomplishments and future plans. richmondsentinel.ca/videos

We continued a partnership in 2024 with a national weekly TV series, Our City Tonight providing our community with an entertainment factor adding interviews in print and video with artists, singers, song writers, authors, actors, travel, and the food and wine industry and most recently an interview from Los Angeles with casts from The Young and The Restless TV show celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Interviews on film and in print with Rika Mansingh a certified dietician and award-winning author have been very educational and she joined a new Richmond Sentinel project with a focus on seniors. As well, Joe Leary a well-known media broadcaster will continue to share stories from his experience from years of interviewing on radio and in print. This month Douglas Scammell joined us bringing with him a passion for fashion ideas for men.

In 2024, Richmond Sentinel published a new segment titled Our City Richmond providing seniors with information on services and programs available for them. In talking with the senior’s community, we discovered the value in publishing this information and went on to add video interviews with experts providing information on health and wellness, fraud, finances, reverse mortgage, free services available to help seniors stay in their home, services offered by the federal government and programs for seniors within the City of Richmond.

The Richmond Sentinel, welcomes any suggestions and would like to thank you for your support over the years and from our home to yours, we wish you and your loved ones good health and happiness in 2025. newsroom@richmondsentinel.ca
