Attractions Ontario is a non-profit association that's been around for over 25 years, supporting and promoting the province's attraction sector. On the website they offer numerous printable coupons for attractions in Toronto and across Ontario. Deals include 20% off Art Gallery of Ontario adult admission, $5 off Canada's Wonderland and 2 for 1 on a Mariposa Harbour Cruise, among many other options.* The coupons do have an expiry date and what is on offer at any one time can change, so check back frequently to see what discounts are available to you and your family at any one time.
Minicards are small wallet-sized cards that offer savings and information on a variety of attractions in Toronto and in numerous other North American cities. These handy Toronto attraction coupons offer deals such as 2 for 1 regular admission to Fort York, 10% off the Toronto Island ferry, or 20% off two regular tickets to The Second City anytime except for Saturday night.* Read before you grab though, as some cards are simply advertisements and others are offering discounts at the gift shop, not on admission (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Read the back of the cards for conditions and for a map and contact info for each attraction.

Magazine Printing in Toronto
The publishing industry in Toronto is as competitive as New York, Los Angeles and other North American hubs. Toronto's "Globe and Mail" and the "Sun" compete for newspaper readers on a daily basis. While these newspapers serve readers each day, magazine publishers can find readers in Toronto interested in in-depth reporting. Your magazine needs to be written well, proofread and formatted properly before working with a large-run printer in Toronto.
Work with a magazine printer in Toronto that is capable of small, medium and large print runs. Your long-term relationship with a Toronto magazine printer like Tri-Tech will ensure that formatting, delivery and quality control standards are met. Ask for samples from prospective printers to determine if the ink and paper quality is ideal for your needs.
Select a set of fonts for your magazine that will read clearly once hard copies are printed. You should play around with fonts that translate to headers, subheaders, captions and text to keep your readers focused on substance rather than style. Look at newspapers like the "Globe and Mail"or the "Toronto Sun" to determine which fonts work for publications using small print.

Magnum Buys Toronto Printing Firm Dye & Durham
Originally established in Toronto in 1874 as The Dominion Blank Form Company, the name Dye & Durham was adopted in 1911. As vendors of legal forms primarily to the Ontario market, Dye & Durham expanded in 1962, and began offering complete print and graphic services to meet growing customer demand.
Since 2004, Magnum has been designated a Dye & Durham Alliance Printer, providing their clients with comprehensive graphic and print solutions. Now, the acquisition of Dye & Durham's graphic and print assets builds further on the trust and service that Magnum is already providing Dye & Durham and its clients.
For customers not already using the Dye & Durham online MIS platform powered by Magnum and Intertainment, Magnum will introduce Dye and Durham clients to its proprietary online MIS platform, allowing users to manage print and collateral materials on demand, and create greater overall efficiencies and turn-around times.
The Company is also pleased to announce that Mr. Al Monteath, Vice President of Dye & Durham's Graphics Division will be joining Magnum as Vice President of Business Development. Mr. Monteath is a well-known industry professional. In his role at Dye & Durham over the past 34 years, Mr. Monteath has been responsible for Print sales for Dye & Durham and has had a print role in other Cartwright Companies including Canada Law Book & CLB Media. In his new capacity at Magnum, Mr. Monteath will be instrumental in the transition of clients and production services and will lead growth development opportunities.
"This strategic acquisition marks the continued development and growth of Intertainment's divisional business, and the integration of new opportunities into its online platforms," said David Lucatch, CEO of Intertainment Media Inc. "In addition, Magnum continues to accelerate its graphics services business by creating innovative business channels to increase efficiencies and customer benefits - dovetailing directly into other Intertainment platforms, including itiBiti, providing clients with both online and direct response opportunities."
The Acquisition, comprised of a cash purchase price with no issuance of securities, of Dye & Durham's print and graphic assets has been approved by the board of directors of both companies and is scheduled to close on September 30, 2009. Based on estimated incremental business from this transaction, Magnum has the opportunity to grow significantly in the upcoming years. Together with the purchased assets and transitioning staff, Magnum has the internal infrastructure and existing business partnerships to execute the increased business.
The acquisition of Dye & Durham's print and graphic assets further establishes Magnum as a leader in the graphics services industry. An FSC Certified Company, both Magnum President Jana Lucatch, and Vice President of Production Services, Rob Cole have achieved the designation as FSC Expert Pioneer, reflecting Magnum's commitment to the environment and the future of the industry. Featured on the cover of the May 2009 national trade journal Graphic Arts Magazine, Jana Lucatch continues to be a leading industry voice in the area of social responsibility, sustainability and mentorship.
Completion of this arm's length Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions including receipt of third party consents and other conditions customary in a transaction of this nature. There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed as proposed or at all.
