Press Release Summary: Launch of a new community information portal for the
community of Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario

Press Release Body: Calgary, AB October 22, 2007 -- FoundLocally.com Media Inc.
[www.FoundLocally.com] has just launched a new community information portal catering
to the community of Kitchener-Waterloo, west of Toronto. The 8-year-old company now
has 25 sites servicing major cities and communities across Canada from Victoria, BC
to St John's, Nfld. FoundLocally sites consistently attract more than 15 million
visitors a year.

The http://Kitchener.FoundLocally.com/ [Kitchener.FoundLocally.com] site covers the
"Tri-Cities" area including Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph, all about an
hour's drive west of Toronto.

http://FoundLocally.com/ [FoundLocally's] portal sites provide comprehensive
information about each community including travel, entertainment, shopping,
neighborhoods, sports, education and government. They are an excellent trip-planning
resource for both business and leisure travelers. Site visitors can browse about a
thousand pages of background information, pictures and maps about each community,
and popular resources like weekly ski reports, movie show times and golf courses
listings.

The sites also include a useful http://kitchener.FoundLocally.com/Searches.htm
[business directory] where visitors can search for businesses by name, category, or
location. The http://kitchener.FoundLocally.com/General/FreeListings.asp [free
business listings] are entered by businesses themselves and they provide
descriptions, contact details and other marketing information. FoundLocally.com is a
popular marketing tool for small businesses often run from a home phone or cell
phone, and therefore excluded from the phone directory. And once registered,
businesses can post jobs, events, special offers and news announcements as part of
their listings. This service is free and well suited to those businesses without a
web site. Local businesses in the Kitchener-Waterloo area may add themselves by
going to Kitchener.FoundLocally.com and clicking on
http://kitchener.FoundLocally.com/General/FreeListings.htm ["Free Listings."]

The site earns its revenues from traditional web "banner advertising" and optional
"Logos & Links" in the business directory, which combines a web site hot-link,
placement priority before free listings, and logo placement on all listing pages,
for a small annual fee. Significant discounts are given to non-profit groups, and to
organizations with multiple establishments.

Communities now covered by the portal include: Victoria, Greater Vancouver, Fraser
Valley, Okanagan-Shuswap, Banff & The Rockies, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina,
Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste Marie, Sudbury, Barrie-Muskoka, Niagara Falls,
Hamilton, Oakville, Mississauga, Oshawa-Durham, Ottawa-Gatineau, Fredericton,
Charlottetown, Halifax, and St John's.
