Local Xpress was an online newspaper based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It was founded in 2016 by 57 members of the Halifax Typographical Union's newsroom unit while on strike from The Chronicle Herald, the city's daily newspaper.

It aimed to compete with the Herald, expanding to offer national and international news, event listings, columnists, weather, and other features.

[2] In a round of bargaining in October 2016, Herald management demanded that the strikers not only close the Local Xpress, but also hand over all content produced during the strike, as well as the Local Xpress URL, to the Herald.

[3] The parties reached a deal in August 2017 and the website was subsequently closed,[4] although Village Media announced it would relaunch a similarly formatted community news website called HalifaxToday.
