About Us

Now entering our seventh publishing season, West of the City has become a recognized and sought-after high-quality, stylish publication. West of the City is an exclusive upscale magazine specifically targeting high-income demographic neighbourhoods within Burlington, Milton, Oakville & Mississauga.

One-of-a-kind and informative, West celebrates the uniqueness of these communities and the people who proudly call them home.

In our pages, we shine the spotlight on the culinary flair of local chefs as well as hot home décor, fashion and health issues while providing an up-close look at personalities and businesses that have taken root west of the city. But West is about far more than work and shopping. To see how we play, our regular In the Crowd feature brings you coverage of the many special social and business events that take place in our communities.

West of the City publishes every two months with exciting seasonal content.

Each issue focuses on a particular theme, complemented by a variety of regular features.

Shopaholic: Great home, fashion and beauty finds, plus local news and events.

Fashion: Ten pages of original fashion photos in every issue.

Food: In-depth feature on trendy food and drink, plus recipes from local chefs and all the best places to dine.

Getaways: Travel stories from abroad, and right in our own backyard.

Motor: Fine vehicles. Scene & Heard: Everything about local arts and entertainment.

Good Will: Highlighting one special community volunteer.
