Local Round-up:

#1. Greetings from the Beaches Living Guide! 

We are busy preparing to publish the Spring/Summer 2006 edition.
 
Now in our third year, the Guide is recognized as the source of information about our neighbourhood.  It has become a keeper in the 40,000 households to which it is distributed from the Don to the Bluffs. And it is also appreciated by many people living in other areas of GTA and out-of-town visitors who can pick up copies at many locations throughout the GTA.
 
Not only are features on history and landmarks, walking guides and street maps, welcomed by readers, but people have lauded the Guide as a resource for locating products and services quickly and easily in the Beaches. An online version of the Guide enhances the convenience and timeliness of information. Here too readers have been enjoying featured local businesses that are regularly published online. The stories are on the people behind the enterprises which have made the Beaches such a desirable place to live and visit.

Do you have a business in the Beach or a home office?  Do you know a friend who does? If yes, expand your business today by listing in the Beaches Living Guide, the premier resource Guide in the Beach.

There are options that will fit every business and budget, beginning with a text listing for $250 a year, a special introductory offer with savings of $100.
