The Citizen is approaching its first anniversary next month, and to celebrate we are once again increasing our distribution. Starting this month, all residents of Niverville, Île-des-Chênes, Ste. Agathe, New Bothwell, Otterburne, and Tourond will receive our paper in the mail, even if they don’t normally accept flyers. The paper’s total current distribution is pegged at 5,000.
This follows the paper’s previous expansion beyond Niverville in January.
The long-term goal is for The Citizen to establish itself as not only a Niverville paper, but a regional paper that also services the RM of Ritchot and other communities in our trade area. In addition to the communities which currently receive The Citizen by direct mail, copies are available at business locations throughout St. Adolphe and Landmark.
We are also in the midst of some key upgrades to our website. Starting in mid-August, in addition to being able to view the entire paper in its electronic edition, all articles will be available to be read and shared individually. The website will continue to offer access to our archives and the monthly poll.
If you’re interested in receiving a free email subscription to the paper, you can sign up on our website. This month, email subscribers will have the opportunity to win tickets to the Red River Co-op Speedway.
The Citizen is privately owned by Cara Dowse, Ray Dowse, Dustin Krahn, and Evan Braun.
