The foregoing dividends are designated as "eligible" dividends for the

dividends are declared by Corus' Board of Directors and there is no
entitlement to any dividend prior thereto.



Registered shareholders who are residents of Canada and who are not
currently participating in Corus' Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("the
Plan") may elect to participate in the Plan through the completion of
an enrollment form which can be obtained from the Company's plan
administrator, CST Trust Company, on their website at www.canstockta.com or by calling 1.800.387.0825. The Plan allows eligible holders of Class
A Shares and Class B Shares to acquire additional Class B Shares

shareholdings. Non-registered beneficial shareholders who are residents
of Canada and who wish to join the Plan should consult their broker,
financial institution or other intermediary through which they hold
Class A Shares or Class B Shares.



At this time, Corus' Board of Directors confirms that the Company will
