Calgary, Alberta<br />

Regional strength, local highlights and highest per capita<br />

in<strong>com</strong>e in <strong>Canada</strong> puts us on top again!<br />

Provincial strength<br />

Alberta’s economy continues to be among the<br />

nation’s best performers in 2008. With strong growth<br />

in the service sector, economic growth is forecast to<br />

expand 3.3 percent this year.<br />

Robust wholesale and retail trade sector<br />

The soaring employment growth of 2007 means<br />

in<strong>com</strong>e gains for 2008, providing consumers with<br />

plenty of money to spend, and expected retail sales<br />

growth to <strong>com</strong>e in at 6.3 percent this year. Total<br />

output in the wholesale and retail trade sector is<br />

projected to expand 5.8 percent for 2008.<br />

Commercial and residential development<br />

Residential housing starts are achieving more<br />

sustainable levels but are still high by historical<br />

standards. The non-residential construction<br />

sector remains dynamic this year with major projects<br />

like the $850 million Encana office tower <strong>com</strong>plex, the<br />

$460 million Foothills Medical Centre, the $280 million<br />

Trident Tower, and the $300 million Jamieson Place<br />

office tower, alongside the $1.3 billion South Health<br />

Campus and the $1 billion Light Avenue Place. Total<br />

output for the construction sector is forecast to rise<br />

by a further 3.1 percent in 2008.<br />

Forecasted top in <strong>Canada</strong><br />

After a very solid performance in 2007, economic<br />

growth in Calgary is projected to accelerate to<br />

3.9 percent in 2008. Our five year outlook projects<br />

average annual real GDP growth to reach 4 percent,<br />

top among all census metropolitan areas in <strong>Canada</strong>.<br />

Calgary’s personal in<strong>com</strong>e per capita outpaces the<br />

provincial average by over 15 percent, and the<br />

national average by almost 50 percent.<br />

ANNUAL REVENUE CONTRACTS<br />

Advertisers signing an annual revenue contract agree to<br />

use the revenue amount signed for within the 12 month<br />

period. Advertising revenue from all Calgary Herald<br />

products and services contributes towards the revenue<br />

contract. Annual contracts are automatically renewed at<br />

the volume rate earned over the previous 12 month period.<br />

Annual revenue contracts will be reviewed after the first six<br />

months to determine if the contract rate requires adjustment<br />

for the balance of the term.<br />

ROP DISPLAY ADVERTISING<br />

Display advertising is ordered by the number of columns<br />

(width) multiplied by the number of agate lines (depth).<br />

Our newspaper page measures 10 columns wide by<br />

310 agate lines deep (written as a 10 x 310). The cost of<br />

a display ad is calculated by the number of columns<br />

multiplied by agate lines, multiplied by the appropriate<br />

line rate.<br />

Display advertising is posted on our online<br />

SHOPPING website to provide additional reach<br />

to advertisers (some exclusions apply).<br />

CONDITIONS<br />

• Flyers are accepted for inclusion in the Calgary Herald<br />

and distribution through Flyer Force when copy is not<br />

false or misleading, is in good taste and meets standards<br />

of acceptance that apply for all advertising in the<br />

Calgary Herald.<br />

• Delivery of pre‐printed material to the newspaper and Flyer<br />

Force is at the expense of the advertiser. Note that flyers<br />

destined for distribution in both the Calgary Herald and Flyer<br />

Force are to be shipped to the respective locations. Single<br />

shipments that have to be split will not be accepted.<br />

• Shipments of inserts may be boxed or bulk‐stacked on<br />

standard pallets not exceeding five feet in height. Each<br />

should be plainly labeled with the number of inserts<br />

contained within. Inserts should be brick‐stacked<br />

(interlocking). The Calgary Herald will confirm the<br />

number of skids or boxes of flyers delivered but is unable<br />

to verify the total flyer quantity received. Discrepancies in<br />

flyer quantities will be the responsibility of the client.<br />

• 1% over the distribution quantity is required as a<br />

cushion for mechanical inserting for both Calgary Herald<br />

and Flyer Force distribution quantities. This cushion is<br />

already included in the quantities provided by your<br />

sales representative.<br />

• Based on a <strong>com</strong>bination of Calgary Herald page count,<br />

the number, size and stock of booked inserts and insert<br />

zoning requirements, there is a physical and mechanical<br />

limit to the number of inserts we are able to distribute<br />

on any given day. Scheduling is based on a first-<strong>com</strong>e,<br />

first-served basis and is subject to availability.<br />

• Flyers which do not meet minimum specifications may still<br />

be delivered by pre-insertion into another flyer. Add a $11<br />

per thousand pre-insertion surcharge to the applicable<br />

distribution rate. Maximum quantity for pre-insertion is 25,000.<br />

This service must be pre-arranged due to time constraints.<br />
