September 3, 2024 (Toronto, ON) - Following initial announcements earlier this year, SJC and 369 Global are thrilled to announce the official launch of 3 magazine. The luxury multi-media brand exploring the vibrant interactions of diverse cultures that define modern Canada is available via print, digital, newsletter, and social media starting today.
"3 magazine was born from a deep recognition of a gap in the Canadian media landscape—a need for a platform that truly celebrates and explores the intersection of culture, lifestyle, business and innovation,” says Muraly Srinarayanathas, Co-Founder and Publisher. “3 isn't for Canadian newcomers alone; it is for the globalist in all of us.”
What’s in the inaugural issue
3 celebrates Third Culture Individuals (TCIs), newcomers to Canada, first-generation (and beyond) Canadians and the culturally curious. The first issue sets the tone with these captivating features that span business, culture and lifestyle:
- In-depth profiles of tech innovator Abdullah Snobar and Canadian soccer star Atiba Hutchinson.
- Who Will Take Care of Us?: An exploration of demographic changes and the future of culturally competent care in Canada's healthcare system.
- Entry Point: A look at Canada's immigration surge and its impact on labour and population growth.
- In The Mix: A fashion editorial showcasing third culture influencers redefining luxury fashion.
Editorial Pillars
“Our readers are educated, highly engaged in their communities at home and abroad, and always interested in learning about the next big thing, whether that's in business, tech, culture, style, food or design,” says Stacy Lee Kong, Editor-in-Chief of 3. “Their points of view are largely unrepresented in mainstream Canadian media, so it’s time to create a magazine that thoughtfully showcases diverse perspectives to celebrate and inspire.”
The editorial pillars for each issue include:
- Endorsements: Recommendations from notable newcomers or second-gen individuals on must-see/do/read/listen activities.
- Third Degree: Q&A sessions with fascinating individuals from various fields.
- Dispatches: Thought-provoking opinion columns.
- Great Spaces: Visual tours of innovative homes or workspaces.
- Style Features: Stories on elevated fashion and design inspired by global influences.
- Trend Features: Stories that explore the newest and most interesting developments in art, food, tech, culture, work and travel
