Island Guide. There were 20,000 copies printed in 2007. This means your name is distributed 20,000 times (saving you $7800 in stamps!). These are given to every person requesting information about Prince of Wales
Island, whether they are a tourist, a local, or relocating to the Island, which gets your name in the forefront of the persons' mind before they arrive.

distributed by mail, given to walk-in traffic, enclosed in Relocation packets, and displayed in the Chamber office.
