Manitoba Magazine Publishers’ Association

Manitoba Magazines are innovative, engaging, informative, and controversial. They receive national and international awards for writing and design. They are part of a growing cultural industry in Manitoba.

From award winning national publications such as The Beaver, Border Crossings and SAY magazine; to widely read and highly acclaimed arts and literary publications such as Prairie Fire, and CV2; to sport and hobby publications such as Horse Country, Manitoba Gardener, and Canadian Railway Modeller; to local lifestyle and leisure publications such as Winnipeg Men/Winnipeg Women and The Cottager; to the wide variety of special interest publications such as Geez, Outwards Inc., Herizons and Northroots; these are just a few of the many Manitoba magazines that are yours to discover. And best of all, our participating members are offering special Magazine Month subscription rates!

Magazine Month begins October 1st at Portage Place with the distribution of member magazine samples and the opportunity to take the Manitoba Magazine Quiz to win great prizes. Members of the Manitoba Magazine Publishers’ Association will be in centre court until October 5th.

Manitoba Magazines will also be found in many favourite local coffee shops throughout October.
