Advertising & Sponsorship Disclosure

Abbotsford Local may work with local businesses, organizations and community partners.

Paid features, sponsored guides, advertising and other commercial partnerships will be labelled clearly. Editorial coverage is not guaranteed by purchasing advertising or a partnership.

For partnership enquiries, visit Partner With Us.

How paid material is identified

Commercial display placements will be marked “Advertisement” or “Sponsored.” Paid articles and collaborations will carry a clear sponsorship label near the beginning, not just in a footer or small-print disclaimer.

Disclosure placement

Sponsored labels should be visible before readers engage with paid content, including near article headings where appropriate. Ordinary editorial submissions are not paid placements.

Editorial independence

Advertisers do not purchase favourable news coverage or control independent editorial decisions. Where a commercial relationship is relevant to a story, we aim to disclose it.

Business listings and submitted stories

Submitting a business listing, community event or story does not guarantee inclusion. Any future paid directory placement will be distinguished from ordinary informational listings.
