About Canada Nightlife
Canada Nightlife (www.canadanightlife.ca) is an online magazine featuring restaurants, bars, events, parties, and artists we love and endorse.
Established in Montreal, we also have a small presence in Ottawa and Toronto (and hopefully more cities to be added soon).
The platform allows tastemakers and influencers to publish Entertainment, Food, Music, Lifestyle, Fashion, Travel, and Behind The Scenes driven content to a young demographic of adults and professionals eager to consume and share new information online.
We are currently a small team who work together remotely (we collaborate online). We are artists, we are creators, we are explorers, we are adventure seekers, and we all have our own story to share. United, we believe in producing high quality editorial content, packed with relevant information and visually appealing media content.
Our mission
Our mission is to inform young Montreal adults with valuable and current information in order to help them make an educated decision before going out.
