Why

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette?

The Gazette is a vital information link, providing readers with important news and events happening in their community.

No other news outlet or media company covers the commuter communities – including the province’s two newest cities and fastest growing centres (Martensville and Warman) – as much as we do. Major media outlets, including daily newspapers and electronic media, only report on news in this area when it is convenient for them.

The Gazette, on the other hand, reports hyper-local information regularly. Whether it is a city council meeting, a charitable fundraiser or a high school football game, we are there to bring the information to those who weren’t.

COMMUNITY NEWS • AMATEUR & PROFESSIONAL ATHLETICS • MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS • LAW ENFORCEMENT • EDUCATION COVERAGE • ENTERTAINMENT & MUSIC • FAMILY ISSUES

ALWAYS

LOCAL

RECREATION • WILDLIFE/HABITAT PRESERVATION • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT • • ENVIRONMENT • HUMAN INTEREST • HERITAGE & HISTORY

Gazette CLARK S CROSSING

Our company believes in providing the widest range of news and information to readers while ensuring advertisers receive the most competitive rates in the market. On top of that, the Gazette is published utilizing environmentally-friendly ultra-violet inks, resulting in crisp images along with vibrant, true colours with no ink left behind on the hands of our readers.

In the past four years the Clark’s Crossing Gazette has been a finalist in almost 40 provincial newspaper award categories and has won many of them including Best Overall Newspaper and Best Front Page in 2011.

As you can see, many of the “city papers” are just that – meant for city residents. Only The Gazette can provide advertisers with a verified means of covering the maximum number of households up to a 70km radius around Saskatoon. We let the other papers cover Saskatoon issues. In the rural region, The Gazette is the paper everyone turns to regularly for news that affects them.
