About Canadian Geographic
Canadian Geographic celebrates Canada — our past, present, and possible futures. We are dedicated to uncovering and communicating stories about Canadian people, places, and issues that matter.
Every day, we take our on a voyage of discovery and exploration, sharing the latest in science, environment, travel and human or cultural stories from across the country. We work with Canada’s leading writers, photographers, creators and knowledge keepers to bring their stories to written and visual life through award-winning journalism, stunning photography, original cartography, digital video and elegant art direction.
This tradition of showcasing our love for Canada began in 1930, when The Royal Canadian Geographical Society first published Canadian Geographical Journal.
Today, Can Geo remains a trusted voice among Canadians. Our award-winning magazine content is now complemented by a highly engaging website, a popular Can Geo Talks lecture series, dynamic supplement publications, the Explore podcast and a growing slate of documentary films (you can catch Returning Home on Crave).
