At a time when the newspaper industry has been in turmoil, it’s important to have an experienced, hands-on leader at the helm. Under the sound leadership of Dave Obee as Editor-In-Chief and Publisher, the Times Colonist has managed to stave off that turmoil. His steady presence has helped pull back the curtain on newspaper operations showing readers — and advertisers — who they are and what they do for the community. He is committed to helping, and founded the annual Times Colonist Book Drive in 1998, generating $5 million towards literacy and education projects locally. Dave is leading the transformation of the Times Colonist to ensure it not only survives, but has a strong, relevant future.
