For more than 80 years, Canadian Geographic magazine has brought stories about Canada to Canadians and the world. We're dedicated to uncovering and communicating the stories about Canadian people, places, frontiers and issues (past and present) that Canadian magazine readers want. Owned by The Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Canadian Geographic magazine is more than a geography publication, each issue of Canadian Geographic is a voyage of discovery and exploration that features the latest science, environment, travel and human and cultural stories from across Canada. The writing comes to visual life through stunning photography and elegant art direction.

Plenitude Magazine aims to promote the growth and development of LGBTTQI literature and film through a biannual publication (electronic and print) of literary fiction, nonfiction, poetry, graphic narrative and short film by both emerging and established LGBTTQI writers, filmmakers, and artists, and to foster a community through an exchange of ideas, opportunities, contacts, and resources. We define queer literature and film as that which is created by LGBTTQI people, rather than that which features queer content alone. That said, we recognise that Plenitude readers are hungry for exceptional works that reflect queer histories, cultures, experiences, and sensibilities. Our editorial process involves critical literary analyses, as well as socio-historical considerations, sometimes turning to an advisory editorial board of writers, academics, and community advocates. Plenitude aims to complicate expressions of queerness through the publication of diverse, sophisticated literary writing, art and film, from the very subtle to the brash and unrelenting.
