Volume 24 SPRING 2023

In Volume 24 of this beautiful coffee-table magazine, we meet cover star, Alex MacLean in Halifax to learn how he created one of Canada’s most recognizable brands globally East Coast Lifestyle, while a student at Acadia University and, equally vital, how he has stayed on top.

Exciting things are happening in the film and television industry on the East Coast and Senior Editor Jennifer Wood meets actor and filmmaker Clem McIntosh (who has appeared in shows such as Boardwalk Empire) who moved from New York back to New Brunswick and was stunned by the amount of television work here. Newfoundland and Labrador correspondent, Tara Bradbury, writes about the boom in film and television production on the Rock, with exclusive insight into the making of Mark Critch’s hit sitcom Son of a Critch. This season is also bursting with exciting live events and festivals and Jennifer Wood shares the finest.
