Non-leisure content will be available on the Town website, huntsville.ca.<\/p>\n<p>Spolnik estimated that the recommendation would reduce the quantity of guides printed each issue from 12,000 copies to 9,000. In the past, the town has printed a 100-page publication that includes emergency preparedness, accessibility, facility rentals, community contacts, parks and trails, bylaw information, transit information, and recreation and leisure services. Nine thousand copies were distributed via the Huntsville Forester, with the remaining 3,000 available at Town facilities and other pick-up locations.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of printing and distributing the Leisure Guide is funded via advertising revenue. The staff report noted that the change in distribution method, print run and refocused content could affect advertising sales, &#8220;however the marketing department is confident that the quality of the publication will be maintained and that the select guide pickup locations will offer optimal exposure for our advertisers thereby maintaining current advertising clients.&#8221; The Town will issue a Request for Quotations for printing of the condensed 2018 guide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
