reach and redefining our role as a content provider and leader within the history community. But, as everyone knows, it was our flagship magazine that garnered the most attention with our decision to rename it Canada’s History. The announcement gave me an opportunity to talk with many readers throughout the year about the name change and the magazine in general. We know this has been an upsetting transition for some of our readers and are grateful for your understanding and continued support. We hope you feel we’ve delivered on our promise to ensure the same fresh, factual, and engaging content you’ve always expected of us. Some of you were skeptical about the anticipated outcomes of these changes. Indeed. In a good year, progress in the magazine publishing industry is measured in small increments. With one full year under

ithout a doubt 2010 was a challenging year. Continued economic uncertainty in the first half of the year constrained donors, budgets, and long-term planning. Many Canadian magazines adopted strategies of consolidation, cost reductions, and in some cases stopped printing altogether. Our children’s magazine, Kayak: Canada’s History Magazine for Kids is a good case in point, changing from a bi-monthly to a quarterly magazine to better align production costs with available revenues. Elsewhere within the Society, we seemed to be bucking the trends. Already well along the development track with two key strategic initiatives, we pressed forward with the launch of our new online portal and the expansion of our national awards program. These new developments are broadening our audience

the new banner, albeit not our best year on record, we remain confident in our decision. Subscriptions declined by four per cent, slightly better than the industry average of six per cent. Newsstand sales experienced a significant drop, with 1,500 fewer copies sold on average, which we attribute to our efforts to cut costs in our marketing promotions and newsstand draws. More importantly, we are beginning to see improvement in key areas that signal future growth for the magazine, such as first-time readers converting to regular subscribers, increases in overall measured readership, and a lower average reader age. Another concern from readers was that our focus on the integration of new media might somehow come at the expense of the magazine. In fact, the expansion into new media has been of direct benefit to the magazine — by increasing advertising sales,

by finding new subscribers more cost-effectively, and by providing regular readers with value-added content through the website. Canada’s History magazine is now available as a digital edition for the Web, iPad, and Android smartphones. However, our commitment to print media is as strong as ever. Over the next year, we’re increas-

ing the number of pages in every issue of Canada’s History, as well as developing special editions in both French and English. As publishers of Kayak, we’re one of only a handful of Canadian publishers that produce magazines for children. Published in both English and French, Kayak was for the third year in a row recognized for its editorial excellence by the Canadian Children’s Book Centre and the Parent’s Choice Foundation. Later this November, we will be launching 100 Days That Changed Canada, a follow-up to Canada’s best-selling history book of 2009, 100 Photos That Changed Canada. So what does CanadasHistory.ca do that more pages in the magazine couldn’t achieve? It enhances our print publications, allowing subscribers and visitors to explore Canadian history and history-makers in a whole new way. First launched in April 2010, our web portal currently has monthly traffic estimated at 45,000 page views with more than 1,500 registered online members. Roughly

half of our online audience is not made up of regular subscribers to the magazine. The Department of Canadian Heritage is providing core funding over three years to help build the new site that features dedicated channels for the two magazines, as well as one for history education and research. Here visitors can find out how history really is being taught in schools. It includes award-winning lesson plans from recipients of the Governor General’s Award for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History, as well as podcasts and videos about current academic research, profiles of Canadians in historyrelated careers, and a listing of Canadian history programs offered at universities across the country. The new site also provides opportunities for users to add to our stories, commenting on what they see, submitting stories and album photos of their own, as well as providing us with continuous feedback. Over the next year, the Society will concentrate on expanding its content reach to mobile phones, as well as developing its community and travel channels. These channels will be of particular interest to our magazine readers, offering one-stop access to news and information about events and exhibits at hundreds of museums, heritage

sites, and cultural institutions. In response to long-time magazine subscribers who have told us they’re not Web surfers and want easier access to all this new online content, we’ve created electronic newsletters. Delivered via email, these e-newsletters conveniently package together feature extensions, online book reviews, and “breaking history news.” Nearly five thousand people have already registered to receive them. Creating opportunities to bring the history community closer together is not something the Society reserves exclusively for the online world. Fostering more opportunities for historians, authors, filmmakers, students, teachers, and our cultural institutions to connect in real time has been the raison d’être behind the Society’s ambitious plan to expand the Governor General’s Awards program. With the generous support of TD Bank Financial Group, the Department of Canadian Heritage, Library and Archives Canada, and the Canadian Museum of Civilization, sixteen Canadians were honoured in Ottawa last November, bringing together for the first time Canada’s top history award recipients, finalists, and Canada’s national historical organizations in a national celebration of our history. Earlier this year, Canada’s History Society and the Canadian Museums Association announced the creation of three new awards for excellence in history programming by museums and community organizations to complete the expanded roster of Canada’s History Awards. In addition to the official ceremony at Rideau Hall, a number of events are scheduled throughout the nation’s capital, including a day long national history forum where all the recipients and organizational leadership convene to discuss key issues facing the history community. Canada’s History Society is pleased to confirm that Enbridge, Inc. will be the presenting sponsor of the 2011 Canada’s History Forum titled “Speaking of History: Discovering the Past Outside of

The presentations will be open to the public, and made available online via CanadasHistory.ca. Canada’s History Society’s mission is to

tember. Materials will be featured on our website and available for sale on DVD. We’re also very proud to contribute to Heritage Fairs, a network of over ninety regional exhibitions held across Canada. Students from Grades 4 to 8 are encouraged to present multi-media projects based on research they’ve conducted within their local museums and historical societies. Together, the Heritage Fairs, Kayak magazine, and the Kid’s Illustrated History Challenge provide a suite of programs for children at the elementary and middle school grade level that are sure to spark a lifelong love for Canadian history. History is ultimately about people. Canada’s History Society is no different. The extraordinary commitment of our volunteer board of directors, and the exceptional staff of the History Society have allowed us to move further and faster in our mission than anyone could have imagined. New partnerships have created new opportunities and broader horizons. But it is readers like you, members of the History Society, whose ongoing feedback and generous contributions fuel our drive and determination.

We do this principally through our publishing initiatives and our efforts to recognize the exemplary accomplishments of others in the field. We continue to deliver quality original content inside the pages of Canada’s History and across a growing number of other dynamic new media platforms. In the past year, we’ve partnered with more history organizations than ever before, lending prizing and promotional support, attending conferences, or creating new programs or products. Working with Benchmarks for Historical Thinking and CBC Television, we’ve produced behindthe-scenes footage and created educational materials for the television movie Sir John A.: The Birth of a Country, which airs this Sep-
than half of our annual revenues and we are most grateful to you for that support. Your involvement not only helps us to build a better magazine, but it also contributes to our support for strengthening history both inside and outside of the classroom. Together we are making history and establishing new communities in a world that is entirely new to us — just like the original Company of Adventurers. It will no doubt continue to be a challenging journey, but one well worth the effort, with tremendous dividends for today’s readers as well as for generations to come. Deborah Morrison is the Publisher, President and CEO of Canada’s History.
