According to a recent NADbank survey, the ''Sun'' Although its staff of reporters has shrunken considerably in recent years, the ''Sun'' still has the largest newsroom in Vancouver. The ''Sun'' is a broadsheet newspaper and is not part of the tabloid Toronto Sun chain. HISTORY was the newspaper's home from 1937 to 1965.]] When the Sun began operation, it was published at 125 West Pender Street, just around the corner from The Province , its rival newspaper at the time. In 1924 , the Sun bought the '' Vancouver World '' newspaper, which had been in financial difficulty for some time. In March 1937 , a fire destroyed the Sun's business and editorial offices. The only casualty was the janitor, who suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation. The ''Sun'' promptly moved across the street into the ''World Building'', where the ''World'' had previously been published. The building was accordingly renamed the Sun Tower . In 1958 , the ''Sun'' and the ''Province'' joined to create the ''Pacific Press'' in response to the rising costs of producing newspapers. First the papers merged their mechanical and financial departments, then they both moved into the ''Pacific Press Building'' on December 27 , 1965 . The paper moved to Granville Square in 1997 . SECTIONS The ''Sun'' has multiple sections. Its main, or A, section usually contains the top local stories of the day along with national and international news. The B section, Westcoast News, features local news and columnists along with a daily feature, running on pages B2 and B3, known as The Daily Special. The paper also has daily Arts & Life, BusinessBC and Sports sections. On Thursdays, ''The Sun'' publishes a tabloid entertainment section called Westcoast Life. On Saturdays, there is a feature and opinion section called Observer. SENIOR EDITORS
