A roundup of recent press, mentions, and the odd op-ed featuring Little Sister's. Some of it's about the past. Most of it's about what happens next.
For a store our size, we end up in the paper a lot. Some of that is history catching up with us — the court case gets taught, the anniversaries roll around, a documentary crew comes through. Lately, though, more of it is about what's next. Here's a running roundup.
The big one: in 2026, Canada Post put Little Sister's on a stamp as part of its Places of Pride collection — Jim, Bruce, Janine, and the cat, honoured by the same federal government that once seized our books. The CBC, Canadian Stamp News, and a stack of others covered it.
There's also been coverage of the store's next chapter: new ownership, a move onto Shopify, a refreshed look, and the exploration of a street-level home in the new Fuller-findlay building at Davie and Burrard. After forty-three years without a proper storefront window, that last one is a big deal.
We made headlines again. Here's how

We keep this page because the press about Little Sister's has always been part of the story, from eighty-nine words in the Vancouver Sun after the first bombing to a national stamp four decades later. The coverage traces the same arc the store did: from a problem the city would rather not talk about, to a landmark it's proud to claim. We're just adding to the file as it grows.
