24 Hours (French: 24 Heures), is a group of English-language and French-language free daily newspapers published in Canada.
The Toronto and Vancouver editions were sold to Postmedia Network as part of Quebecor's divestment of English-language news, and they were later acquired by Torstar in an asset swap on November 27, 2017 and immediately shut down in favour of the Torstar-owned Metro papers in those cities (rebranded StarMetro the following year).
In mid-2001, GTA Today had merged with Metro and in October of the same year Sun Media ceased publication of FYI Toronto.
The Montreal French-language paper was originally called "Metropolitain" (English: "Metropolitan") and had a large lowercase "m" as its logo, before becoming 24 Heures in 2005.
