For almost 29 years we have been using Canada Post as our number one distribution system. It was a decision we made with our second issue back in July 1997. This marks the second time in less than a year that we have had to pivot quickly to ensure TAKE 5 Newsmagazine distribution happens in a timely manner.
But a lot has changed since 1997. TAKE 5 online edition is available readily and is delivered in a monthly email- along with a curated selection of local events as an extra bonus. Along with a lighter footprint on the environment, they are enjoying direct web links to the advertisers and content, as well as embedded videos, and photo galleries. We urge you to give it a try. Visit us at take5.ca and subscribe.
We are not saying goodbye to our print edition, far from that, as we are well aware that latest trends show a strong resurgence in readers preference for print. You will find print copies of TAKE 5 Newsmagazine in over a hundred locations from cafes to grocery stores throughout south Nanaimo, Cedar, Ladysmith, and Chemainus areas. Also watch for additional yellow bins that we will keep filled. Still can’t find one? Drop by the office or call us and I will personally deliver your copy.
We owe the best service to you, our readers and to the businesses, non-profits and individuals that we are honoured to represent.
Thank you for supporting local independent journalism. -Marina Sacht and the TAKE 5 ghouls
