TAKE 5 offers lifestyle, environment, people, arts and outdoor adventure for the Central Vancouver Island communities.
It combines print and digital media to offer comprehensive distribution across the communities of mid-Vancouver Island. Our print edition is distributed via Canada Post to every household, in addition to the over 100 counter pickup locations. Our digital edition is widely shared on our social media.
It is the best-read magazine in the area because we respect our readers by offering them high-quality local content relevant to our community. This has earned us a place in our readers’ living rooms since 1997.
