History

Magazines Canada (formerly known as the Canadian Magazine Publishers Association, or CMPA) was founded in October 1973 by a group of small magazine publishers. Since then it has grown into the country's most powerful industry association, working closely with all levels of government to ensure the interests of Canada's magazines are supported and protected. In 2003, CMPA merged with Magazines Canada to expand member services and bring advertising and research under its umbrella. The name Magazines Canada was adopted in 2005.

Magazines Canada is an equal opportunity association that strives to be ethical in all its endeavours. It treats all people with dignity and respect. Member services are designed to create an environment of growth for the Canadian magazine industry.
