Default Vancouver newspapers in Calgary

There is going to be something in both the Province and the Sun this weekend of importance to my family, and I was hoping to get one of each of them. Where would I be able to buy them in town, ideally in the NW? I'd rather not go DT if I can help it.

Thanks.

Libraries might have them. Maybe some of the large magazine/newspaper shops downtown. A shop on 17th claims to have the largest selection of magazines in the city.

What about Billies news on 7th? The newsstands at the airport also sell some out of town news papers.

as a last resort, I'd call the newspapers directly and see if they will mail you a copy.

Toilet paper is cheaper and easier to come across.

No riots this week so your family is probably fine to go downtown.

This could be the first time that the Sun and the Province were deemed to contain important information.

To address the OPs question, I think the airport is probably your most reliable option.

I remember a while back that Chapters had newspapers from other cities.
