Welcome to our September issue. This is not only our 15th issue in Ottawa, but it also marks the innuagural month for our sister publication, Montreal Natural.
From the beginning, our vision has been to have magazines in different cities in Canada, and, if we get really good, in other cities around the world, too.
Our thinking is that not only do our local advertisers want good rates, but they also want a publication that gives a sense of high self-esteem, professionalism, and quality, too.
Local readers want to know and understand the services of local practitioners, and what events are planned for the coming months.
So after much thought, research and discussion, we have chosen Montreal as our first expansion city. I have never lived in Montreal, though I have visited it many times. It truly is a great city, and, dare I say, with humour and only a touch of seriousness, this month even more so, as we proclaim it "World Class", because its residents now have Montreal Natural to read and enjoy.
We are a team here at Natural. So, together, we go forth. Will it work? Were we right in our thinking? We couldn't know until we started!
Our business opportunity is to be efficient. The desire is to learn and grow. Growth is a process of unlearning and relearning. There seems to be no escaping risks, discomfort and persistence. We will not be dissuaded due to work. We look forward to the many people we will meet as the magazine grows. The Universe will give us feedback! We are thankful to Ottawa for the support that has allowed this to occur.
To clarify, Montreal Natural will be an English language publication. It will be a distinct Montreal edition, not just an expanded print run. The team here at Ottawa (and Montreal) Natural will do its best to produce magazines with quality and confidence. And now that we have a Montreal edition, to produce both with Vive!
