When you become a newspaper carrier, you will automatically be part of our Bonus Points Program! With this program, we encourage kids to be responsible and do the best they can on their route at school and in the community. Carriers earn points for customer praise, good route checks, good marks at school, community achievements, etc. Carriers can save up their bonus points and redeem them for exciting gifts in our bonus booklet.

Being a carrier is a positive experience that can teach young people valuable work habits and help them develop as individuals.


CARRIER Q&A
Q: As a carrier, what will I be expected to do?
A: Our carriers must be able to deliver newspapers every Tuesday and Thursday after school and again on the weekend (between 3 PM Saturday and 10 AM on Sunday, for Markham/Stouffville by 10 AM Saturday). There are three deliveries per week Woodbridge (Thursday/Sunday) and Stouffville (Thursday/Saturday) only have two deliveries per week). Carriers insert flyers into the newspapers and deliver the completed newspapers to each home on their route. Route sizes vary from about 40 to 65 homes.

Q: Where do I go to pick up the newspapers and flyers?
A: Everything you need is dropped off to your home.

Q: How old do I have to be to deliver the newspaper?
A: Most of our carriers are between 10 and 15 years old. Younger people can do a route with their parents help. We need people to deliver papers for our carriers who are on vacation. This would suit young and retired adults or stay-at-home parents. Call about a route in your area.
