PUBLISHER’S LETTER
athomeincanada.ca
Dear readers, The magazine you are holding is the last print issue of Home in Canada. The past year has been difficult for all sectors of the economy, and the publishing industry has not been spared. As advertisers have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, so has Home in Canada. It’s been a difficult year. Indeed, the message of 2020 that will surely remain firmly lodged in everyone’s memory is: hunker down, stay home, stay safe. As you’ve stayed home to stay safe, we have tried to make these challenging times easier for you, our dear readers, by showing you beautiful homes, ways to enhance your own homes, and imaginative ways to improve your lives. I have loved publishing, writing and everything having to do with Home in Canada. The delight and honour of meeting and interviewing the architects, designers, creatives, and painters that you have seen with me here in these pages and in the videos has been one of the highlights of my life. From my first visits to the immense, almost-overwhelming Maison et Objet show in Paris to the intimate video interviews I did in offices and homes, it has been a voyage of fun, joy and learning. While we will cease to publish our print publication, we do intend to keep our website active, and to stay au courant with you. We will continue to publish articles of interest, and we will answer you if you write to us. Every ending brings new beginnings, and we plan to evolve in digital format to bring you new, evocative content. The world needs to know about beauty and art, and we need to learn and grow. This has been our mandate and will continue as we share this odyssey of discovery with you. My thanks go out to you, our readers, many of whom are subscribers, to our advertisers who have supported us, to our printer and distributors, and to our staff. Stay tuned for new adventures ahead. Let’s transition together into a digital format. Please meet us here: www.athomeincanada.ca.
