Canada Wide Media will launch a new quarterly Vancouver magazine in May — Granville — that will focus on sustainability issues for urban consumers.
Canada Wide representative Samantha Legge said every story will bring sustainability to the foreground and give readers the tools to make informed decisions.
Regular sections will cover local food, fashion and homes, while in-depth features will research issues like housing, transportation and energy options.
“It will be a city magazine, first and foremost, but everything will have a sustainable element to it,” Legge said in an interview. “So if we write about a restaurant, we’ll feature one that engages in sustainable practices.”
She said the magazine will be printed on glossy, recycled paper and will target educated, socially aware urban consumers aged between 25 and 50.
“It could be a broader range than that, but most of the people who have already requested the magazine are between 25 and 49,” Legge said.
Burnaby-based Canada Wide Media publishes more than 40 magazines and directories, including BC Business, TV Week and GardenWise.
