New Digital Magazine CabinLiving.ca Launches to Serve Canada's 2.9 Million Cottage Owners and Cabin Enthusiasts

"CabinLiving.ca offers a clean, ad-free reading experience across all devices, featuring uniquely Canadian content ranging from outdoor gear insights to cultural stories about the nation's cabin obsession."
A new player has entered Canada's lifestyle media landscape with the launch of CabinLiving.ca, an online-only magazine targeting the country's massive cottage and cabin culture community. With nearly 10% of Canadian households owning recreational properties and the sector contributing $9 billion annually to the economy, this ad-free publication addresses an underserved market with premium, Canadian-focused content about cabin living, property management, and outdoor recreation.
CANADA - June 19th, 2025 - CabinLiving.ca, Canada's first dedicated online-only lifestyle magazine for cabin and cottage enthusiasts, officially launched today, offering premium, ad-free content for the estimated 2.9 million Canadian households that own recreational properties and millions more who embrace cabin culture.
Founded in 2025, the premium digital publication provides comprehensive, ad-free content specifically tailored to the unique aspects of Canadian cabin living, cottage ownership, and lake culture.
"Cabin culture represents a fundamental part of the Canadian identity, with nearly 10% of Canadian households owning recreational properties," said Martin P., Senior Contributor at CabinLiving.ca. "We're creating a year-round digital destination that captures the essence of Canadian cabin living – from the anticipation of opening weekend to the peaceful moments by the lake."
A New Approach to Cabin Content
CabinLiving.ca distinguishes itself through a carefully curated mix of content that speaks to every aspect of the Canadian cottage experience. Readers will discover in-depth features exploring hidden cottage destinations and inspiring cabin architecture across the country, alongside practical guides for everything from seasonal maintenance to winterization projects. The publication also provides valuable real estate insights for those looking to buy, sell, or invest in recreational properties, while celebrating the outdoor lifestyle with coverage of fishing, hiking trails, and wilderness adventures.
What sets the magazine apart is its reader-first philosophy. Unlike traditional lifestyle publications cluttered with advertisements, CabinLiving.ca is supported exclusively by partnered content, allowing stunning photography and compelling storytelling to create an immersive reading experience that mirrors the tranquility of cabin living itself.
The publication takes pride in being authentically Canadian, with every article written by contributors who understand the nuances of regional cottage cultures – from the remote wilderness cabins of British Columbia to the iconic Muskoka cottages of Ontario and the charming coastal retreats of the Maritimes.
Serving a Thriving Market
Canadian cottage and cabin culture contributes over $9 billion annually to the national economy, yet until now, this vibrant community lacked a dedicated digital-only resource. CabinLiving.ca fills this gap by delivering expert advice on property management and investment strategies, seasonal guides that help owners maximize their cottage enjoyment year-round, and regional spotlights that celebrate unique cabin communities across the country.
The magazine also embraces modern cottage trends, offering insights on sustainable living for off-grid and eco-friendly cabins, while providing family-focused content that helps create lasting memories at the lake. Through innovative digital features like interactive cabin-themed puzzles and games, mobile-optimized design for reading anywhere, and downloadable guides for cottage owners, CabinLiving.ca brings the cabin experience into the digital age.
"We're building more than a magazine – we're creating a digital community for everyone who feels that special connection to Canadian cabin culture," added Martin P. "Whether you own a cottage, rent one every summer, or simply dream of lake life, CabinLiving.ca is your trusted resource."

A: I've always loved going through my parents and grandparents' closets to find hidden gems to add to my wardrobe. So with Hijulez, I aim to create intentional, timeless pieces that celebrate individuality in hopes that each piece can be passed down for generations. All of our pieces are made in Vancouver, where we use a mix of techniques including natural dyeing, embroidery and screen printing. We make a big effort to be as close to zero waste as possible, using a mix of recycled, thrifted, deadstock and eco-friendly materials, while also ensuring we save all of our off-cut fabrics to reuse for future projects and collections. One of our unique offerings that I'm especially proud of is the lifelong mending and re-dyeing service. This service allows us to work closely with customers to breathe new life into their old pieces, which they otherwise may not wear again.

A: We focus on individuals who want to build a wardrobe of unique pieces made from natural fibres, crafted with ethical labour at every stage of the process. Our goal is for our customers to feel good in their pieces, knowing they are locally made, with origins that are transparent and traceable. We hope this sense of mindfulness and optimism accompanies them every time they get dressed. Q: Is there a 'hero' design? A: It's so hard to pick just one! The Museum Skirt and Trev Button Down have both been bestsellers ever since they launched, but I'm really excited to share what's in-store for spring-summer 2025. Q: What is the price range? A: We try our best to stay within the $100 to $350 range to keep the pieces approachable for the general consumer, while also ensuring we're sourcing the best possible materials for each style. Q: Where can people learn more? A: You can find us on Instagram and TikTok @hijulez, and online at We're currently stocked at One of a Few in Vancouver, Still Life in Victoria, and Victoire Boutique in Ottawa.

Jean shorts are everywhere this summer: 5 Canadian jorts to wear all season

Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page.

These days, they're more popular than ever as jean shorts (also affectionately known as jorts) are popping up in street style photos across the globe. Article content Like all fashion, shorts styles tend to fluctuate with what's trending. Currently the long, baggy, skater-inspired jorts are favoured over the figure-hugging Daisy Dukes of years' past. While maybe not the most polished piece of summer clothing, they're perfect if you're going for a relaxed vibe this season. Article content Article content With a vintage-inspired cut that features a high rise, raw hem and a loose fit, these shorts are an effortless pick for summer. They're made from heavyweight non-stretch denim, and have a 100 per cent cotton construction that holds its shape. Article content Article content For a modern take on the jorts trend, look to this distressed pair from Simons. They feature an extra-long silhouette that borders on capri-length and are made from rigid denim that molds to your body over time. Article content Article content Article content Looking for an on-trend pair of jorts? Oak + Fort's unique leopard-printed version is sure to turn heads this summer (they're also available in brown if the leopard print is too loud).
