🌲 Feeling lost in the woods? Not sure which way to turn amid constant news of injustice?🌲

We’re excited to launch Wilderness Times on Nov. 30, a new Substack by United Church minister Rev. Bri-anne Swan. It’s a space to explore what’s happening in the world through a faith-shaped lens — ”without insisting that faith sorts everything out,” says Swan.

✨ Faith in the wild. Let’s not go it alone. ✨

Broadview was proud to help represent Canadian magazines in Ottawa last month!

Digital and United Church in Focus editor Emma Prestwich was part of Magazines on the Hill, a Magazines Canada delegation advocating for support for Canadian publications.

The delegation, which included editors, publishers and the leaders of regional industry associations, met with the Department of Canadian Heritage and Canada Council for the Arts to share their experiences and push for more funding.

Magazines Canada also hosted a reception for senators, MPs and their aides which featured an impressive array of Canadian magazines for guests to take home — including copies of Broadview. The event led to some great conversations about the work Broadview does and why magazines matter.
