Newspapers have been part of Hudson Bay since 1907. A small typewritten
sheet named the "Junction Kicker" served the community until 1936.
The paper was then sold to F. Carnahan who continued to publish
it under the name "Judge". Fred joined the army in 1940 and the
paper was closed. In 1946, Donald L. Hood, a local businessman,
founded "The Hudson Bay Post." He continued to publish the paper
until his death in 1954. A second paper was established in the Town
in 1952 and was named "The Northland Review". This paper was short
lived as it closed in 1953. In 1955, the local Board of Trade asked
the Mazur brothers of Flin Flon to establish a new paper called
"The Hudson Bay Post-Review". It was decided to equip the new enterprise
with a photo-offset printing system. It would be the 1st in Western
Canada. Heritage Park is named after Al Mazur for his contribution
to the community. Today the paper serves Hudson Bay and district
under the direction of editor, James Taylor. 2006 marked the 50th
anniversary of the Post-Review. As a link with the past, the Post-Review
building retains a small portion of the original structure which
had been built by Don Hood who was the editor from 1946-1954.
