King Township - Yours to Explore

Promoting Local Events, Activities and News

 

 

King Township, located on the Oak Ridges Moraine, provides a unique and beautiful environment with many resources and services to offer residents and those outside of the community.

 

We believe in the fundamental concept of sustainability within King Township. The promotion of existing businesses within the Township is a vital link to the future of King.  Healthy growth can only occur through the support of the broader community.

 

King has the potential of being the ‘go to’ place for recreational activities for people outside of our community.  By promoting what we perceive to have ‘tourist appeal’ (as examples; Cold Creek, Pucks Farm, Golf Courses), and,  providing advertising opportunities to local businesses we hope to tape into the ‘day tripper’ visitor, as well as the hundreds of cottagers that travel through King from May through October. 

 

Based on the concept of sustainability, we have created a dynamic King Township resource website, King Township - Yours to Explore which caters to ‘tourism’, as well as, providing township wide resident Community Resources.

 

King Township – Yours to Explore is the ‘go to’ place for residents to access Community Resources. The site features stand-alone Teens and Kids websites with resource links for homework help, health and entertainment, as well as links to local Community Groups and Activities; Worship; Medical and Business Listings; Events Calendar; Weather; and Local News.  We are planning a stand-alone King Township Business Directory in the near future.

 

We have listed a variety of rates and services available.  We want to be your full service web marketers.  Those that offer public and non-profit services will be automatically listed as a ‘resource’.   Please see our highly competitive Advertising Options and Rates.
