Hey there, time traveller!

THE new distributor of phone books in Winnipeg is looking for a few good community groups to let their legs do the walking.
B.C.-based PDC Logistics, which recently signed on with the Yellow Pages Group to oversee door-to-door delivery of the white and yellow pages books across Manitoba, is hoping to find hockey teams, church groups and other non-profit organizations to do the legwork in May.
“Groups often sell chocolate bars or Christmas trees to make money and a lot of the time, that money comes out of the parents’ pockets. This way, the groups can get revenue that doesn’t require parents to get out their wallets,” said Teri Cook, PDC’s director of operations for Western Canada.
PDC now provides the same delivery services from B.C. to Ontario. It took over from Winnipeg-based R.S. Distribution Services Ltd., which delivered both white and yellow pages across Manitoba for the last 17 years. Rene Saurette, president of R.S., said he opted to pull the plug with YPG because it wouldn’t commit to a long-term deal with his company.
