Who We Are
The Leaf is the community newspaper of Winnipeg’s historic Wolseley neighbourhood.
We are supported by entirely local advertising and subscription revenue. We receive no government or foundation grants. Please support local businesses and organizations, so they can support us.
Since January 2013 we have helped foster community conversation about a host of issues of interest to local residents; from people profiles and political views, to gardening tips, the arts and much more. We are also proud to now serve the vibrant and creative West Broadway community and new writers are always welcome to make enquiries.

Home Delivery
The Leaf is delivered door-to-door 11 times a year by a dedicated network of carriers. The Leaf is FREE; however, if you live outside of the Wolseley or West Broadway areas you may subscribe for $30 per year and we will mail your copy of The Leaf as soon as it is published. Contact us, and provide your delivery details; we will e-mail a PayPal invoice you can use to pay.

Local Journalism
The Leaf provides a forum for both experienced and budding community journalists. All writers are paid, just like our carriers — helping to foster local community economic development. Several times a year we host writing workshops where you can learn about writing articles. Check the paper for upcoming workshop schedules.
Supporting Local Businesses
The Leaf provides a way for local businesses to engage in truly local marketing. Why waste money on high ad rates reaching neighbourhoods far outside your trading area? Target with The Leaf and save. Reach our advertising representative, Richard, at leafbizpromotions@gmail.com, and learn more about advertising with us here.
2023 Journalism Award
The Leaf took 3rd place in News Media Canada’s 2023 Canadian Community Newspaper Awards in the Best Local Civic Journalism category.
The award was given for Sean Ledwich’s story, “Saigon Centre battles squatters, lack of funding.” In granting the award, Paul Deegan (CEO) and Dave Adsett (Chair of the Board) of News Media Canada stated:
“Your dedication, talent, and passion have enriched your readers’ lives and strengthend the bonds of your community. Your work exemplifies the very essence of community journalism and is a testament to your commitment to the valuable role that community newspapers play in strengthening our society”.
The Leaf thanks the CCNA for the recognition and its continued work advocating for, and building, community journalism in Canada. You can learn more about News Media Canada here.
