Guardian Capital Group Limited ("Guardian") (TSX:GCG)(TSX:GCG.A) announced today
that it intends to purchase by means of a Normal Course Issuer Bid, during the
period from November 18, 2011 to November 17, 2012, up to 99,435 or 2% of its
outstanding Common Shares, entitled to one vote per share, and up to 2,239,785
or 10% of its Public Float of non-voting Class A Shares. These shares will be
purchased at market prices, on the Toronto Stock Exchange. There were 4,971,748
Common Shares and 28,872,219 Class A Shares outstanding at November 7, 2011.
Guardian intends to purchase the shares for cancellation because it believes
that, from time to time, the shares are undervalued at prevailing market prices,
based on Guardian's earnings and prospects and accordingly, Guardian is of the
opinion that the purchase of shares is an appropriate use of corporate funds to
increase shareholder value.


In the last 12 months under its previous Normal Course Issuer Bid, in effect
during the period from November 16, 2010 to November 15, 2011, Guardian
purchased for cancellation no Common Shares and 287,550 Class A Shares, at an
average price of $9.75 per Class A Share. All of these shares were purchased
prior to October 31, 2011.


The average daily trading volume for Guardian's shares on the Toronto Stock
Exchange during the period of May 1, 2011 to October 31, 2011, excluding
purchases made by Guardian under its previous Normal Course Issuer Bid during
the same period, was as follows: Common Shares - 1,010 shares; and Class A
Shares - 29,000 shares. Except as otherwise permitted by the Toronto Stock
Exchange, daily purchases under the bid will be limited to 1,000 Common Shares
and 7,250 Class A Shares, other than block purchase exceptions.


Guardian has filed a Notice of Intention in this regard, with the Toronto Stock
Exchange, which Notice has been accepted by the Exchange.
