The Canadian Sportsman
The Voice of Harness
Racing for 140 Years...
The Canadian Sportsman was founded in
1870 and is Canada's oldest magazine of
any kind. Published mid-monthly, The
Sportsman is a trade magazine for
passionate harness racing participants
and fans looking for unique and
in-depth information. What was once
more of a newspaper has become a 9.5x13"
over-sized, full colour, features magazine
dominated by superior photography and design.
Since 1989, The Canadian Sportsman has
been located in the small southwestern Ontario
hamlet of Straffordville. Each edition is
produced and printed from this location.
Dynamic Layout & Design
Our in-house design team knows how to
pack a punch with advertisement and
editorial placement. June 21, 2007 marked

colours, eye-catching fonts and strategic
layout. Combined, our design team has
over 20 years of experience creating the
industry's most talked about publication.
