We are looking for the Communities feedback on the new sizing format of the Taylor Times
The February edition of the Taylor Times is out for your reading pleasure, and we are looking for the Communities’ feedback on the new sizing format. Normally the Taylor Times is printed in black and white with only a colour cover. The format change is more cost effective than the previous size, and this will enable us to continue to print in full colour instead of black and white.
Haven’t seen the new changes? Stop by the Post Office, Municipal Office, Library, Community Services Hub or retail outlets in the community to pick up your copy and let us know your thoughts.
Thank you. Community Services Department
