Northword Magazine is the only independent, regional magazine that covers northern BC, from border to sea.
We don’t take this responsibility lightly. Our goal is to connect and promote communities in B.C.’s northwest through printed word and image.
We promise to put a vibrant, human face on northern life with great articles and stunning images, wrapped up in a funky, fresh, graphic look.
Northword Magazine – B.C.’s top read, for a reason.
Originally established as Connections Magazine in 1997, this bimonthly lifestyle is an integral part for locals and tourists alike. According to industry statistics, three to four readers peruse each magazine copy, on average. With a circulation of 10,000 copies, Northword Magazine reaches in excess of 30,000 readers west of the Rockies.

- Contributors – photos and biographies for those behind the words and images
- In Other Words – editorial
- Comment – letters to the editor
