Time magazine is launching a Canadian edition under a new licensing partnership with Toronto-based ArtsHouse Media Group, which also produces Billboard Canada and Rolling Stone Canada.
Time Canada will combine original Canadian reporting with curated content from Time's international newsroom, covering business, politics, culture, technology, climate, and other subjects while spotlighting "people and enjeux that shape Canada's role in an interconnected world."
The venture launches with a six-person full-time team and four part-time staff based in a Canadian bureau. The publication will produce one print edition annually, quarterly digital covers, video content, social media coverage, and live events.
Founder Mo Ghoneim said Time Canada will "connect Canadian stories and perspectives to global audiences." Time CEO Jessica Sibley called Canada "one of the most exciting markets at the moment" and said the expansion marks the next step in the brand's mission to spotlight global leaders and ideas. The company has recently launched editions in France and Africa and reaches over 100 million people across all platforms worldwide.
Time Canada's first cover will debut this fall. An event launching the edition is scheduled for Thursday at TIFF Lightbox in Toronto, where Sibley is expected to attend.
