3 Magazine

3 is a quarterly print magazine that celebrates third culture individuals, newcomers to Canada, first-generation (and beyond) Canadians and the culturally curious—in short, people born in one place but enriched by the influence of numerous others. Through our intentional balance of style and substance, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of, and appreciation for, the diverse experiences that shape our country—and our world. Readers can expect a mix of deeply reported stories, thought-provoking columns, insightful profiles and style features on topics from identity to innovation in every issue, and on our website and social channels.
