Note: Today's resource is only available free to BC residents. I did want to include this as I know many BCers haven't heard about this site. (See the other link below for those who don't live in BC or the Yukon.)
Over 125 years of B.C.'s heritage.Online access for anyone in B.C. or the Yukon.
The Province (1894-2010)
The Times Colonist (1884-2010)
The Vancouver Sun (1912-2010)
Although only one of these was always a Vancouver paper, if you search you will find plenty of Vancouver news in all these papers and indeed in other BC newspapers. Victoria is British Columbia's capital, for instance, so lots of political news from there affected Vancouver and its residents and businesses.
