This years White Pages phone books will now only be delivered by request instead of delivered to all Winnipeg homes.

The Yellow Pages Group, who distributes the free annual White Pages, no longer sees a requirement for it with the success of various online phone number look ups.

Score one point for the environment! The amount of paper (even though recycled) these books use is unbelievable. It’s great to see them finally decommissioned.

The Yellow Pages, which profits from business listings, will continue to be distributed to all Winnipeg homes for free.

You can view everything that you would find in the White Pages online at Canada411.ca. If you prefer the traditional way, you can request a copy of the White Pages by calling YPG Distribution Services at 1-800-268-5637 or visiting http://ypg.com/delivery.
