Contrary to what some may believe, Canadian multicultural publishers and the vast majority of their readers are not guests in this country. Multicultural publishers are passionate in what they do and are voices of influence in their own communities. More importantly, they act as the conduit to integrate communities in the Canadian mainstream. Their publications are touchstones for any mainstream advertiser's product or service. Our Partner Publishers are respected professionals; their publications are tools of integration and validation. With an innate connection to their own culture and homeland, they are open and eager to share their heritage even as they celebrate and contribute to the Canadian identity.
