We Need You

HERE ARE SOME OF THE FEATURES AND DEPARTMENTS WE’RE HOPING TO REPLENISH FOR UPCOMING ISSUES

OUR KIDS

What are your kids up to? Do you have awesome photos to share of your offspring as they run, jump and play? Send them along with a short paragraph describing the action. Please remember if you’re submitting as a proud grandma or doting aunt you must have permission from the little ones’ parents!

PASTIMES

Are you a Collector of unusual things? Maybe you’re particularly Crafty or have a talent to Showcase? Wherever your interests lie—from scrapbooking to hiking, and all points in between—we hope you’ll tell us all about them— and send along plenty of eye-popping photos as well.

WHEELS

Have a passion for vintage cars and motorcycles? Or maybe high-performance vehicles, trucks or jeeps are more your speed. Even oddball junkers are welcome—whatever gets your motor running is of interest to us!

PHOTO ESSAYS

Are you a photography buff? Do you also like to write? Then you just might have what it takes to produce a multi-page photo essay for an upcoming issue! To give it a try, send us a photo selection that explores a specific Canadian theme, aspect of our culture or part of the country, together with an accompanying text of 750 to 1,000 words.

OUR TRAVELS

Where in Canada do your travels take you in winter, spring, summer and fall? Do you have a special “go to” spot or do you prefer to roam, seeking out new adventures in new locales? Wherever your travels take you across this great country, we want to hear about it!

STORYTIME

Whether it’s part of their mid-afternoon “quiet time” or their nightly tucking-in ritual, kids just love a good story. Here’s an opportunity to share that children’s tale you’ve been meaning to write—and our talented illustrator Bill Suddick will provide the visuals!

FUNNY STUFF

Do you have a hilarious tale to tell? Our funny bone is just waiting to be tickled! Send along your side-splitting misadventures and knee-slapping anecdotes—everybody loves a good laugh, especially Our Canada readers!

IT’S TRADITION

What long-standing family tradition would you like to share—a weekly family movie night, a monthly card game, an annual get-together? All of your traditions are worth sharing!

If you have an idea you don’t see here, send it along

as well! Submit your stories and photos at ourcanada.ca or see page 64 for our address.
