We are a Dynamic Media Company delivering vital business and community information to millions of readers across Ontario each week. With 100 newspapers, countless advertising venues, numerous distribution networks, and the Internet and web publishing, no target is unreachable.

Metroland, Ontario's largest and most successful community newspaper publisher, provides local news and advertising media/info in Canada's heartland. We currently publish 100 community newspapers with a total of 132 editions that are concentrated in southern Ontario and centered around Toronto.

As of October 2005, the combined distribution of the community newspapers published by Metroland was approximately 4.5 million copies per week.

Metroland also publishes a number of specialty products which focus on a particular market segment. Forever Young, City Parent, The Shopping News and ten regional editions of The Business Times are all published by Metroland. The company produces and manages many consumer shows including the Toronto Golf & Travel Show, the National Bridal Shows, the Fifty Plus Lifestyles & Travel Show and The Family Show.

Metroland prints most of its own newspapers on company-owned presses housed in nine different printing locations. Metroland is also a large commercial printer for other publications.

Metroland is one of the most sophisticated distributors of flyers and circulars in Canada. Flyers are distributed to households in advertiser-defined areas, primarily using Metroland's newspapers. Flyers are also delivered in bags and hung on apartment doors in communities with a high concentration of apartment buildings.
