The resulting demand for the residential directory averaged below five percent while searches for personal phone numbers on YPG online properties remain strong. In 2010, YPG introduced the same initiative in the cities of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, the Ottawa-Gatineau area and Quebec City.
