Seniors Services Advertising and Sponsorship

The Seniors Services Guide is a valued resource for older adults and their families, with 5,000 printed copies of each guide shared widely across the community. The digital version of the Guide is posted on oakville.ca, included in enewsletters, and promoted on social media.

All ads are printed in full colour. Interior ads are matte FSC-certified stock, while covers and inserts are printed on premium glossy stock. We print a Spring/Summer edition each year (printed in spring) and a Fall/Winter edition (printed in fall).

We make every effort to keep this page up to date; however, advertising availability is subject to demand and cannot be guaranteed.

To ensure fairness and manage the high volume of requests from local organizations looking to place materials in our facilities, we offer additional paid advertising opportunities in our community centres.

Available advertising placements include:

• Digital screen advertising (pdf)
• Arena board advertising (pdf)
• Scoreboard advertising (pdf)

Visit our Recreation Facility Sponsorship and Advertising page for advertising fees, available locations and artwork specifications.

Advertising start dates are flexible and subject to availability.

Seniors Services values the strong interest from businesses and organizations looking to partner with our programs and connect with our community. To respect our members and ensure a fair, consistent experience, we do not accept in person solicitation at our Seniors Centres. Businesses and organizations that arrive to solicit in person will be turned away.

Organizations interested in sponsorship opportunities must first advertise in the Seniors Services Guide. Advertising in the Guide provides consistent and appropriate access to our audience and is required to be eligible for event or program sponsorship.
