As you may know, we publish an online and print edition of TAKE 5 Newsmagazine. We share the online edition extensively on social media and it stays online with your ad working indefinitely. The print edition is delivered to every household, farm, and business in these central Vancouver Island areas: south Nanaimo including Chase River, Extension, Cedar, YellowPoint, Timberlands, Cassidy and Ladysmith south to Saltair, and Chemainus.
And here is a little bonus that we are very excited about -- when you book a regular display ad in TAKE 5, we will plant a tree in B.C. in partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit group.
Message from the Editor
You will have seen the red dresses along the highway from Ladysmith to Stz’uminus. May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous women and girls. As you drive by, remember the women and lives lost. There is still much work to be done by all of us around violence against women.
