StarMetro was a chain of Canadian free daily newspapers published in Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Toronto, and Vancouver. The chain was a joint venture between the Canadian publishing conglomerate Torstar (90 per cent) and Swedish global media company Metro International (10 per cent). The chain was originally branded as Metro prior to rebranding on April 10, 2018.[1] StarMetro was not affiliated with the French-language Métro newspaper published by TC Transcontinental in Montreal.
In November 2019, Torstar announced that all StarMetro editions would cease publication on December 20, 2019.[2]
