Cornwall Living Magazine Now Available
The advantages of living and working in Cornwall are becoming less and less of a secret, thanks in part to the new edition of the Cornwall Living magazine.
The 2009 edition of the popular magazine features a number of articles about people in and around Cornwall, in addition to highlighting several current business development projects.
"The benefits of living in Cornwall and the surrounding area is something that we, as residents, sometimes take for granted," said Rick Shaver, Publisher of the Seaway News which produces the magazine. "Last year's magazine generated a lot of buzz from people who were discovering the area for the first time, so we wanted to continue covering a variety of lifestyle and business stories."
Rick Shaver is a Team Cornwall member.
The cover story of this year's magazine features a profile of an artist's co-operative at Serenity Studio in Cornwall. The article introduces five very different artists who are helping each other succeed in business. The arts and culture community in Cornwall and the surrounding area has been gaining more and more attention in recent years and people from Ottawa, Montreal and beyond are visiting local galleries and studios.
"This year has been so exciting!" said Tracy-Lynn Chisholm, owner of Serenity Studio. "The Cornwall Living magazine will provide more exposure to the local arts community. As a result, more artists will take themselves more seriously... which means more art and a positive vibe that is contagious. I feel like we are starting a little phenomena here....who knows where it will end up?"
Other stories showcase the arrival of medical students at the Cornwall Community Hospital, the decision by Shoppers Drug Mart to build a distribution centre in Cornwall, and feature articles on living in Cornwall, South Stormont, South Dundas and South Glengarry.
New this year is a photographic essay that features local landmarks and residents across six full colour glossy pages.
The magazine is expected to be a popular addition to the information packages that Cornwall Economic Development sends out to business and residential investors. In addition to trade shows and other efforts, the City Department will be mailing the magazine to over 3000 individuals, businesses and government officials in Canada, the United States and abroad. The magazine has proven to be popular at Canadian Consulate offices around the world.
"The Cornwall Living magazine is popular even in this digital age because of the quality of the stories and photographs.", says Bob Peters, Senior Development Officer with the City of Cornwall. "Last year the Canadian Consulate in Ireland asked for additional copies, primarily because the photographs and stories in the magazine are interesting to people looking for more information on life in Canada. The magazine helps us reach our goals of convincing people to take a closer look at Cornwall."
The Cornwall Living magazine is published by the Seaway News. 2009 marks the 16th year that Seaway News has produced the area's most sought-after magazine. The magazine is a collaboration of advertisers, writers, photographers and staff members.
