Three placements, sold directly to businesses across Regina and southern Saskatchewan, covering the newsletter, the podcast and our local news pages.
The full rate card
Weekday Brief Newsletter Credit$190 CAD
A sponsor credit plus a 40-word note placed in the Weekday Brief, our weekday-morning newsletter covering Regina civic business and neighbourhood news — council items, road and transit notes, and local happenings from the Cathedral neighbourhood through to Wascana.
The credit suits neighbourhood businesses, arts venues, restaurants and community associations who want a short, recurring mention rather than a display advertisement.
Runs for three consecutive weekday editions. Our editor reviews your 40-word note for length and clarity before it goes out, and you receive an open-and-click summary once the run is complete.
- Three weekday editions
- 40-word sponsor note, copy-edited by our newsroom
- Open-and-click summary after the final edition
Trailhead Audio Sponsor Stone$540 CAD
Trailhead is our weekly podcast on life across Regina and southern Saskatchewan — conversations about the Warehouse District's small businesses, weekend trips out to Moose Jaw or the Qu’Appelle Valley, and the people behind local projects.
This placement gives you three host-read mentions, one per episode, placed at the midpoint where listeners are settled into the show. It works well for organisations that want a spoken, personal introduction rather than a printed one.
Before recording, we hold a short briefing call to confirm how you would like your business described, and you approve the script in advance. After each episode airs, we send you the listen count for that specific episode.
- Three host-read mentions, one per weekly episode
- Pre-recording briefing call
- Script approval before each read
- Per-episode listen counts
Cairn Partner Stack$1,080 CAD
The Cairn Partner Stack is our largest placement: a six-week package that combines a sidebar unit on our local news pages with four Weekday Brief credits, four Trailhead mentions, and one partner-labelled Q&A article written by our newsroom about your organisation.
It suits businesses and organisations that want a well-rounded presence with Regina and area readers and listeners over a full six-week stretch, rather than a single one-off mention.
The stack begins with a planning call to set the schedule across all four formats, includes a creative review before the sidebar and Q&A go live, and ends with a closing summary report once the six weeks are complete.
- Six weeks of sidebar placement on local news pages
- Four Weekday Brief newsletter credits
- Four Trailhead podcast mentions
- One partner-labelled Q&A article
- Planning call, creative review and closing summary report
