The Edition | Issue 21

Every story starts somewhere.

For Mike Rooth, it became a decades-long career in illustration. For Bone & Biscuit, it started with a dog named Bailey. 40oz Heroes is creating new opportunities through Hip Hop culture, while The Apple Market carries forward a family story rooted in Mississauga since 1950.

Four different beginnings. Four stories that continue to evolve.
Issue 21 is out now.

Featuring:
Mike Rooth
The Bone & Biscuit Co.
Jawn Taboika | 40oz Heroes
The Apple Market

Issue 19 of The Edition is here.

In this issue, we’re sharing four very different stories — from the joy and human connection found in therapeutic clowning, to young voices discovering opera, Italian hospitality in the heart of Port Credit, and musicians reimagining familiar songs together.

Meet Jody Boston, the Canadian Children’s Opera Company, POSTA Italbar Cucina and Reimagined Roots Collective in Issue 19.

And there’s more beyond the pages. Each story continues online with a full editorial feature, giving you a chance to discover more about the people and organizations behind the work.
