W HO A RE B IG COUN T RY RE A DER S?More than half the population

in the prosperous and rapidly

growing regions served by Big

Country Media are newcomers

to the countryside.

•

They’ve brought their discerning

urban tastes with them, and

they’re redefining what it means

to live in the country.

•

Residing within a one- to

two-hour drive to Toronto and

the International Airport, and

plugged into global enterprise

from their home-offices,

they’ve captured the best

of both worlds.

All three publications

are printed at 300dpi

on coated stock.

Specifications for press-

ready pdfs and ftp upload

information, as well

as material deadlines,

are available at www.

bigcountrymagazines.com

With a strong investment in

enhancing their lifestyle, they’ve

deliberately traded city lights

for spacious landscapes and

picturesque towns such as

Creemore, Caledon, Cobourg

and Collingwood.

•

Demographically, the permanent

residents, commuters,

weekenders and visitors drawn

by the regions’ rich cultural

and recreational activities are

affluent, educated and active

35- to 65-year-olds who bring

sophisticated city style and

expectations to small-town

and country living.

Whether they live in executive

estates, condos, chalets or

refurbished heritage farmhouses,

their residences are their base of

operations – expansively blending

indoor and outdoor living and

entertaining – and making the

value of their real estate second

only to Toronto’s.

•

With their active and involved

social and recreational life, the

exurbia phenomenon is a

marketer’s dream. They enjoy

gardening, skiing, hiking, theatre,

entertaining, antique hunting,

snowmobiling, golfing, and so

much more.

Big Country Media reach the audience we are working to connect with – people in the communities whose

values reflect our own. Their stories tie in well to our work, and open readers to new ideas about conservation

and the environment. Laura Mousseau, Nature Conservancy of Canada

•

Big Country Media understand the communities they serve, involving their readers with local news, events,

business and general interest. Kubota builds reliable equipment Big Country readers use every day – a natural

fit to help spread our message. Thank you Big Country for your commitment to local communities. Adam

Haney, Kubota Canada Ltd.
