Why read Canadian magazines? Because magazines are not only cultural products themselves, they’re also a rich channel through which every other part of our vibrant culture is shared and reflected. Because a strong local magazine industry is essential to our sovereignty, shining a light on complex issues, providing expert commentary, analysis, and much-needed, fact-checked context.

Magazines connect to the neighbourhoods, cities, and landscapes in which we live and are an integral part of creating, building, and sustaining our vibrant communities. There’s a Canadian magazine for nearly every community of interest and area of passion, from business and industry to politics, from music to crafts, and from food and wine to travel. There are Canadian magazines for cities, towns, and rural life.

Canadians like you rely on magazine journalism to stay informed about your community and the stories that are significant to you. Magazine journalists showcase Canadian voices, values, and stories, complementing the broader media ecosystem. They play a crucial role in reflecting and reinforcing our national and regional identities. 

Magazines share stories that reflect our country’s diverse perspectives and vital culture, shaping and connecting communities. This fact-based, fact-checked magazine journalism combats misinformation and disinformation, and plays a critical role in our democracy and sovereignty. 

And don’t forget that magazines provide small and mid-sized businesses with the means to connect with your community through this locally-owned magazine media, which strengthens the foundation of our local economies.
