Transcontinental Posts ‘Best Operating Performance in Its History’

• The integrated solutions offering for local communities in Canada is one of the Corporation’s main growth areas and combines a broad selection of print and digital channels. In Web-based services in 2010, Transcontinental launched the pre-shopping site dealstreet.ca and its French-language counterpart, publisac.ca. These sites deliver thousands of retail discount coupons every day to consumers, specifically tailored to their geographic locations in Canada. Also in 2010, the Canada-wide search engine weblocal.ca launched the first online reputation management tool for advertisers who subscribe to its services. Transcontinental also has other sites aimed at local communities, including merkado.ca and inmemoriam.ca. In addition, community papers can be viewed on smart devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.)
