TRANSITION Magazine
May 18, 2023
Discover Our Impact
TRANSITION believes that when our community members are given a voice they are creative, honest, and open about the realities we face. We are working to create a diverse and inclusive magazine to unleash the potential of our community while being a pillar in the mental health sector.
Creativity For All
Creativity is a key part of creating a mentally healthy mind. It serves as an outlet to express different experiences that have changed us. Our magazine empowers people of all backgrounds to honour themselves by capturing their feelings into creativity, no matter how that may look.
Change. Growth. Transformation.
Founded 18 years ago on the need of connecting community members through mental health and personal experiences with creative writing and visual art. TRANSITION Magazine aims to celebrate life in transit, however that may look.
TRANSITION has always been focused on change, growth, and transformation. This mission has guided us to highlight how life is all about how we grow and transition ourselves for a brighter future. Each publication inspires us to hold the torch and share our stories.
Get Involved
Transition Magazine encourages emerging writers and artists to submit their work for publication.
We solicit original, unpublished works of fiction and non-fiction, poetry, and original visual artwork by Canadian writers and artists that represent mental health issues and showcase their impact on individuals.
