Toronto, Ontario - St. Joseph Communications is pleased to announce a multi-year agreement with Canadian Geographic – a magazine dedicated to telling stories of Canada's people and places, natural and cultural heritage and environmental, social and economic issues.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Canadian Geographic," says Tony Gagliano, Executive Chairman and CEO of St. Joseph Communications.
