Mission Statement

THE BIG PICTURE. Sooke is growing as a community within Greater Victoria and the west coast of Vancouver Island, with an urban-rural flavour all its own. MapleLine Magazine is a forum for conversation about current news issues on southern Vancouver Island and the west shore, as seen through the lens of living in Sooke.

Insightful news articles and backgrounders provide readers with ideas about a wide spectrum of today's current issues, with a mindful balance between tradition and growth.

Topics explored in each issue cover a wide range of importance and appeal: real estate, politics, business, community, the arts, education, youth, health & wellness, fitness & sport, the environment, the economy, technology and cosmic stuff.

Fun stuff includes crossword puzzles and contests that tie into featured topics of the current issue.

For our online presence, we hope people will be pleased that "they came, they clicked, and they learned something new".

We believe in being a supportive, active part of the community. In addition to providing news about the area, we provide a journalism career training program and a free online lost and found service.

 

Articles / Content

WRITING ON THE EDGE. Today's bright readers expect more. MapleLine Magazine delivers informative reading with diverse, insightful articles by professional writers and industry leaders.

We cover the issues that are in conversations everywhere, but with new angles and keen analysis.

Quarterly production of our print publication allows time for deep thinking, detailed editing and good writing. The result is a thoughtful volume of issues about Sooke in its many aspects.

Bi-weekly e-bulletins (posted online and e-blasted for free to subscribers) provide current news bits and frequent opportunities for community groups, businesses and municipal government to post announcements and news. These easy-read enews bulletins are anticipated by email recipients ~ the news is condensed while offering links to more.

We post breaking news that occurs between print and e-bulletin issues.

Subscriptions to the print magazine assure that you never miss an issue; ideal for anyone who loves keeping up to date with the news in Sooke but lives outside the town centre free distribution area. 

News releases and event announcements welcome: editor@maplelinemagazine.com .
