Eastern Ontario Charm: Inside the Pages of Cornwall Living Magazine

Cornwall Ontario – There is has never been a better time to choose to live in Cornwall, and no better way to discover the region than with a copy of Cornwall Living. The much awaited magazine is hot off the presses and now available locally.

“The magazine reflects very well on the community,” said Richard Mahoney, Publisher of Seaway News. “It shows how the community can come together and have a very impressive quality publication. It’s colourful, the context is excellent. The whole city should be proud.”

The cover story profiles Walmart Canada, which is celebrating 30 years in Canada. Cornwall was one of the retailer’s original stores in 1994, and since then the company has repeatedly invested in the city. Today the company continues to pursue innovation, and provides career opportunities to more than 2,500 associates who work at Cornwall’s two massive distribution centres, local supercenter and in fleet operations.

“The front cover of Cornwall Living magazine is celebrating Walmart, a company that is our largest employer in Cornwall and has been in the community for 30 years,” says Mayor Justin Towndale. “The magazine is a great yearly asset for the city, highlighting our achievements and success so we can celebrate together.”

The 2024 edition of Cornwall Living marks the 31st year that the Seaway News has published a magazine celebrating life in Cornwall. This year’s edition once again features compelling stories and visually-stunning photographs, touching on all aspects of life in the area – including business, sports, arts and more.

“Cornwall Living magazine is a great tradition in our area for many years now, and it’s one of the best tools we have to promote our area and the good people and great things happening here,” said MP Eric Duncan. “I always grab a box for my office, and when I’m out across the country and beyond, I take a few copies just to let people know about Cornwall and area, and the things we have to offer.”

The 100-page magazine includes feature articles on a variety of topics. Some of the key stories include:

• Choosing Cornwall – Young Professionals Following Paths to Cornwall
• Rooms without Doors –  A profile on local artist Pierre Giroux
• Out of the Box – Entrepreneurs challenging traditional business models
• For the Love of Sport – A profile on local minor sports
• 1784 – The 240th Anniversary of Cornwall
• Gypsy Melodies –  A profile on local singer songwriter Roxanne Delage
• Ice Level – A  Robert Lefebvre Pictorial
• Business Excellence Award Winners
• Share This – Dozens of photos from local residents
• An 8-page section in French that profiles the local Francophone community
• and many more…

More than anything else, Cornwall Living profiles the success of individuals in all walks of life.

“Cornwall Living magazine has been around for over three decades and is one of our key pieces in reaching out around the world and telling people what a great place Cornwall and the area is to invest, to live, to work, to play,” says Bob Peters, Manager of Economic Development. “The magazine finds its way to embassies, Ontario Tourism, businesses, investors, and almost every country around the world. It’s just an amazing collaboration between the advertisers, Seaway News, and the great people that make this community such a wonderful place to live. Every page in the magazine is homegrown, featuring local talent.”

Mr. Mahoney has taken over for long-term publisher Rick Shaver, who retired earlier this year. Cornwall Living was Mr. Shaver’s final project in a storied journalism career. Cornwall Living magazine is once again designed and edited by Colleen Parette, and many of the photographs were taken by local photographers. The magazine has an overall circulation of over 30,000.
