Daily Hive

Daily Hive, a digital hyperlocal news outlet in Canada

Daily Hive is a Canadian-born digital media outlet established in 2008. It describes itself as an online news source that produces hyperlocal content, with coverage that combines current affairs information and lifestyle articles aimed at urban communities. Its main edition, identified as Daily Hive Vancouver, serves the audience in Vancouver and British Columbia.

Sections and content lines

The site organizes its news offering into several themed sections. These include National (with news, lottery, and politics subsections), Urbanized (focused on real estate, urban development, transportation, architecture, and public art), Dished (food and drink, with subsections for openings, closings, restaurants, best of, events, deals, specials, and coffee & tea), Offside (sports, with coverage of hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, and football), Events (events and concerts guide), Lifestyle (outdoors, health & fitness, beauty & fashion, shopping, pop culture, and contests), Travel (news, guides, bucket list, and tips), and Business & Tech (technology, entrepreneurs, and jobs).

Local and current affairs content

The Vancouver edition publishes headlines about provincial and municipal politics, such as the call for a snap election in British Columbia and the candidate list for Vancouver's 2026 civic election, along with housing topics, such as the potential impact of U.S. factors on rental prices. It also covers sports events, particularly the Vancouver Canucks' preseason games, and business and technology news, such as the sudden closure of an international language school in the city.

Lifestyle, events, and food

The lifestyle section includes recommendations for seasonal activities, such as pumpkin patches near Vancouver and fall concerts, as well as content about film festivals, Canadian-made goods markets, and wellness retreats. In food and drink, Dished covers restaurant openings and closings, celebrity sightings at local venues, and culinary awards. Events coverage is complemented by a guide to fall activities in the Vancouver area.

Sponsored content and collaborations

The outlet distinguishes sponsored or partner-provided content, such as articles linked to ICBC, a Richmond dance studio, and a campaign about the patient experience at BC Children's Hospital. It also publishes brand-promoted content, including Air Canada's Best New Restaurants list and its 2026 finalists.
