Curious - The Tourist Guide
is a publication which chooses to promote the unique and out of the way shops,
services, towns and events that pepper Ontario. Our editorial consists of bits
of history about the towns we visit, stories sent in by readers, poems, trivia,
recipes and whimsical information that makes for light reading. Our format is to
produce a page or pages of advertising from the towns within our primary
distribution area. We then arrange them in the paper in an order that would lead
a daytripper on a route through the area.
