THANKS A MILLION!
Before you dive into your current issue—and a wonderful issue it is!—i’d like to take a moment to chat about the shiny, new “call out” on our front cover, announcing that Our Canada has “more than one million readers.”
According to the Fall 2019 study conducted by Vividata, the organization which tracks readership and related metrics for the Canadian magazine industry, Our Canada is read by 1.1 million people across the country. Factor in our digital audience and that number climbs to almost 1.5 million. Those are impressive stats, no doubt, but more importantly, they are a testament to the loyalty, high level of engagement and willingness to spread the word about Our Canada that you continue to bestow upon our publication.
Although hitting the one-million readership mark will be news to many, it is not actually “news” per se. We have been topping the one million mark for the past decade or so, having rebounded from the economic downturn in 2008-2009, which had such an adverse aect on so many industries around the world.
Like most Canadians, we’re usually a bit shy about tooting our own horn, but we thought it was high time to share this ongoing accomplishment with the very people who continue to make it possible—our readers.
I’ve said it before in this space, but it bears repeating because it is the absolute truth of the matter. Without your interest and support for all things Canadian, your amazing story and photo submissions, and your inspiring propensity for sharing, Our Canada and More of Our Canada simply would not exist. So, once again—thanks a
million!
