About St. Johns: Your Digital Window to the Heart of St. John's
Our Story
St. Johns was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to online destination for news and insights focused on the vibrant city of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. We recognized a growing need for a digital platform that provides an up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive overview of this fascinating community.
Since our launch, we've strived to fill an information gap in the online landscape, offering a unique blend of local news, features, and community engagement. Our team is dedicated to bringing you stories that highlight the people, events, and culture that make St. John's such a special place.
