Did you know that ads in the Riverbend Ragg-Times can be used for more than just growing your business?

You can honour loved ones, celebrate milestones or share accomplishments all while supporting your community newspaper!

A "business card" sized ad, as shown here, will only set you back $78.75 + GST to share important life events with your entire community. If that doesn't fit the budget, you can take out a text-only classified ad for just $27.50 + GST.

Weddings, anniversaries, big birthdays, graduations and birth announcements are just some of the fabulous ways you can honour loved ones publicly. Can you think of any other life events you'd want to celebrate?

To find out more, check out the Media Kit on our website at https://riverbendonline.ca/the-riverbend-ragg-times/ and you can email completed ads to [email protected] by the next deadline, March 6, 2026.
