Guardian Capital Group Limited Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
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 16, 2009 to November 15,
2010, up to 111,900 or 2% of its outstanding Common Shares, entitled to
one vote per share, and up to 2,465,953 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 5,594,998 Common Shares
and 30,376,319 Class A Shares outstanding at November 6, 2009. 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, the
directors are 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 14, 2008 to November 13, 2009,
Guardian purchased for cancellation no Common Shares and 2,483,307 Class
A Shares, at an average price of $4.47 per Class A Share. All of these
shares were purchased prior to October 31, 2009.

The average daily trading volume for Guardian's shares on the Toronto
Stock Exchange during the period of May 1, 2009 to October 31, 2009,
excluding purchases made by Guardian under its previous Normal Course
Issuer Bid during the same period, was as follows: Common Shares - 231
shares; and Class A Shares - 28,181 shares. Except as otherwise permitted
by the Toronto Stock Exchange, the maximum aggregate daily purchase under
the bid will be 1,000 Common Shares and 7,045 Class A Shares.

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