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 every three weeks
(18 times a year), 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
and is mailed every third Thursday.
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 17 years of experience creating the
industry's most talked about publication.
