In 1957, The Province and the Vancouver Sun were sold to Pacific Press Limited which was jointly owned by both newspaper companies.

A 1970 strike by Pacific Press employees shut down the Sun and Province for three months; in the interim, the Vancouver Express published daily editions.

It ended on May 13 and resulted in increased pay for employees and a trustee pension fund with a board that included management and union representatives.

In 1933 the paper turned its operations over to the Pacific Broadcasting Co., while continuing to supply news reports to the station.
