 Please Note: It is the policy of SWNA not to accept any classified ad where the only contact information is an account hosted by webmail providers like hotmail, yahoo, or gmail, as it is impossible to prove the authenticity and origin point of the email. Detailed company information must be provided either in the classified ad or to SWNA head office so that we have proof the person contacting us is legitimate, and the business in question is also legitimate. This policy is in effect to protect the readers of Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers from the possibility of fraudulent claims and identity theft.
