A note from Kim Buckler:
Canada's
Wholistic & Alternative Directory was created to provide a better
and stronger advertising vessel that practitioners could
afford along with reaching larger populations. A lot of research has gone
into directories that are on shelves and on the internet.
We are highly confident that this directory (both shelf and web site) is
what we really need and is growing fast. This directory was
created by a practitioner that is working at reaching a wider area with
advertising and at a better price, along with more options to
share information. Are you ready to join us, net work and grow?
We
are available Monday to Friday (403) 932-5350, please leave a message or
send an email and I will call back.
Sincerely,
Kim
