Pickle Barrel
In 1989 our areas had wonderful schools, beautiful gardens, the finest shopping and most importantly, people who cared.
The only thing missing was a neighbourhood voice, a place to air complaints and salute strengths. Over the past seventeen years we have been committed to producing unique, high-quality community magazines that report on the news, people and lifestyles of Toronto’s finest areas.
Our magazines are dynamic, award-winning, stitched and trimmed publications that blend the editorial traditions of a community newspaper with the lifestyle focus of a glossy city magazine.
It’s a winning combination that’s proven to be a hit with both readers and advertisers.
