As the world’s media prepare to turn their eyes to Vancouver, The Walrus is helping them find focus. In our March 2010 cover story, journalist Gary Stephen Ross has written the definitive piece about the city he calls home. Ross takes on an in-depth look at Vancouver’s place in the world, from the business of the coming Olympics and the state of arts funding, to the appetizers at Vij’s and the strollers in Kitsilano. As Ross keenly observes, there is a Vancouver that we see, and one that we don’t. With his help, The Walrus readers will experience both.

Because Vancouver can be seen from many different perspectives, we’ve done something very exciting on our cover for this issue. The March issue of The Walrus will hit newsstands on February 1st with four different covers, each created by Vancouver photographer Grant Harder. These special edition covers are sure to catch the eye of Canadian readers, and become collectors’ items. This innovative cover treatment is just another way that The Walrus continues to push the envelope in Canadian magazine publishing.

The original artwork by Bruce McCall that graced the October 2009 cover of The Walrus is now available to own as a limited edition print. Redolent of 1930s’ Popular Mechanics optimism and Boy’s Own Paper adventure, only twenty-four signed and numbered prints are available of this piece by the world-famous Canadian illustrator and humourist, so order yours now!

To commemorate its fifth anniversary, Canada’s award-winning magazine The Walrus commissioned Douglas Coupland to create a special collage for the cover of its anniversary issue. Using images culled from five years of The Walrus, Coupland created a vibrant and dynamic piece, as seen above.

In recognition of the publication’s milestone achievement, Coupland generously donated the cover art work to The Walrus Foundation. This work is printed in a limited edition of ten, is signed and numbered by the artist, and is available through Daniel Faria at the Monte Clark Gallery. The funds raised through the sale of these ten extraordinary prints will benefit the work of the charitable non-profit foundation and create a forum for public discourse on matters vital to Canadians while supporting Canadian writers, readers, artists, and ideas.

The Walrus Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization with a mandate to promote public discourse on matters vital to our country and is dedicated to supporting Canadian writing, art, literacy, and ideas.

To achieve our goals, we have launched four projects. First and foremost is The Walrus, a monthly magazine of ideas, sophistication, and wit, and a place where reader, writers, and artists meet.

The Walrus is supported by walrusmagazine.com, featuring original content and a rich archive of back issues. The magazine is also supported by The Walrus Store, where proceeds go to help fund our ongoing educational mandate.

    
The Walrus launched in September of 2003 with a straightforward mandate: to be a national general interest magazine about Canada and its place in the world. We are committed to publishing the best work by the best writers from Canada and elsewhere on a wide range of topics for readers who are curious about the world. The Walrus is published by a registered non-profit charitable foundation.
