Ottawa Outdoors Magazine turns 10 years old! To think it’s been 10 years since Ottawa Outdoors Magazine first appeared. It’s


pretty unbelievable, and how the years have flown by since our very first issue (see cover image, right). I got friends to pose for the cover photo, pulled in the first team of writers, and gathered the support of outdoor stores all over the region. Since then, as you can see from all the magazine covers on this page, there have been many issues since. It’s been a real privilege, and I look forward to your support and readership in the years ahead.


Dave Brown, Publisher Editor-in-chief


In addition to a huge thanks to the dozens of writers and photographers


who’ve brought their skills to these pages, I hold in high esteem the editors who’ve helped fine tune these words into the consistent voice we have today. Thanks! As always, please enjoy this, the first of our 10th anniversary-year issues. To begin with, I hope you enjoyed the bonus publications inserted in the bag with this copy. Be sure to support these advertisers, as they are long-time supporters of the magazine and of outdoor enthusiasts in our region. I’d like to give a shout-out to illustrators Keith Milne and Gord Coulthart who


created the awesome poster on the opposite page. I wanted this issue to be something special, and this poster includes many of the outdoor activities we regularly enjoy and sums up our attitudes perfectly. Whether you’re reading this issue on your couch, in a hammock, or on a park


bench over lunch, remember how fortunate we are to have our health and the great outdoors so close to home. If one article motivates you to take up a new sport or activity, or inspires you to encourage another to do so, then as publisher and editor-in-chief, I couldn’t be happier.
