Promotion at GBA Meetings – Blowup posters (20”x 30”) can be ordered, at cost, of one of your " full page" advertisements for display at our Annual General Meeting in Toronto, and at our regional GBA Conferences each year in communities along the eastern and northern shores of Georgian Bay. These would include the words “Corporate Sponsor of GBA UPDATE” to reinforce your support for our communication efforts to our members and other Bay stakeholders.

Website – Your advertisement and each GBA UPDATE issue is posted immediately following publication on GBA’s website – www.georgianbay.ca. This dramatically expands exposure beyond our membership and circulation.
