Wainwright Star Chronicle, 1908–present

 

The weekly Wainwright Star began in 1908 with James Hossack Woods as owner, and H.E. Cummer, Editor. There were several owners and editors thereafter. The Star amalgamated with Chauvin Chronicle in January 1949 to form the Star Chronicle published by Leonard D'Albertanson, Jr. and sold in 1970.
