The Globe and Mail's Saskatchewan and Manitoba edition is currently printed in Brandon, Man. (CBC)The Globe and Mail newspaper has hired a new company to print its Manitoba and Saskatchewan edition.
Glacier Media Inc. will begin printing the Globe starting this fall out of its printing plant in Estevan, Sask., the Globe said Wednesday in a news release.
For decades, the Manitoba and Saskatchewan edition has been printed in Brandon, Man. by the Brandon Sun, then trucked to various points in the two provinces.
The Sun is owned by FP Canadian Newspapers which also owns the Winnipeg Free Press and other publications.
According to the Sun, its contract to print the Globe expires at the end of September.
The Globe said the move to Estevan — 311 kilometres southwest of Brandon — takes place as the paper prepares for a "significant redesign" to take advantage of advanced printing technology.
It's a multi-year agreement, the company said.
