What a great initiative. From their website:
To ensure the continued vibrancy of the Canadian magazine industry, the Government of Canada created the Canada Magazine Fund (CMF). Launched in 2000 as a key element of the Government’s comprehensive policy in support of the Canadian magazine industry, the CMF will contribute toward the production of high-quality magazines showcasing the work of a wide cross-section of Canadian creators. The CMF will also help build industry capacity through support for business development of small magazine publishers, industry development projects and support for arts and literary magazines.
