Classified Ads

Within the classifieds section we have different advertising options at a fraction of the cost to place individual ads. Whether you are selling a product, seeking employees, selling a business or have land for sale, classifieds are a proven way of getting your message out.
In Saskatchewan your ad will appear in 49 community newspapers, which reach over 450 communities including 13 cities and have a combined circulation of over 335,000! Blanket Classifieds are also available in Alberta and Manitoba!
