Membership Benefits
The current membership of the FDSA includes retailers representing 60% of the total volume published in Canada, newspapers and distributors covering 90% of Canadian households, as well as printers, binderies, transportation companies and media agencies.

Standardized Glossary of Flyer Terminology
Standard industry terms, nomenclature and acronyms to improve communication and reduce misunderstandings.
