Tide Change has adopted a reader contribution revenue model based on that of The Guardian. We recognise that our readership is primarily made up of Comox Valley residents working within, or to support, local community groups and organisations. Along with individual contributions, we rely on membership. Below is a list of our current members:

This following section lists community groups in the Comox Valley working on everything from arts to social justice, environmental protection, democracy, and sustainability. In short it is the collective heart of the Comox Valley.
Most groups are registered non-profit organizations but society status is not required to be listed on TideChange. If your community group would like to be listed here email us at editor@tidechange.ca.
