THE LOOP is a free weekly e-bulletin combined with an online calendar promoting local music, culture & entertainment events. Currently, there are event calendars for Guelph, KW/Cambridge and Hamilton/Burlington

We filter through the calendar's comprehensive event listings to write THE INSIDE LOOP e-bulletin, our guide to what's great and going on in the current week. We combine the pull of our website with the push of an e-bulletin to promote local culture.

* The e-bulletin is delivered to subscribers via email every Wednesday.  

* Subscription is free.

* Event promotion is free.

* Promoters and businesses can purchase banner ads in both The Loop calendar and the weekly e-bulletin.

There are currently over 3,000 subscribers with thousands of others hitting the website every week. Our subscriber and website viewers main demographic is the 21 - 44 y. old online 'urban influencers' - people who go out to events and support local culture and local business.

Guelph Ad Rep - Don Stewart

Originally from Montreal, Don has been a Guelph resident for the last 24 years. His experiences as a partner in a successful downtown business throughout the 90's provided him with the local knowledge and contacts that were attracting to us. Don's management and sales work in a variety of regional businesses have now brought him 'into the Loop' as our Guelph/KW Ad Rep.

Hamilton/Burlington City Editor

Publisher - Mary Cross

Mary has a background in artist-run centre culture as a program coordinator and film curator, is a filmmaker, dancer and has volunteered and worked for many arts organizations and festivals including media art, contemporary dance and visual art.

Growing up in Toronto but now living in a smaller city, she knows that no matter what size city or town, people want to feel good about where they live. Part of that feeling derives from being aware of local cultural events - being 'in the loop'. 'Living where we do, it is always disappointing to hear about a great event after the fact. So, I try and recommend bands that are passing through that have great reviews, award winning international cinema, art shows from established and up and coming national artists, author readings, anything multi-cultural, and the less publicized, unique events that you might otherwise miss.'
