History

The first issue of Outpost was published in April 1996.[2]

In 2002, it won Magazine of the Year at the Canadian National Magazine Awards, the largest prize for a Canadian magazine.[3]

Outpost has distinguished itself in the travel world by sending teams of travel writers and photographers on large-scale multi-day expeditions, eventually labeled "opXpeditions," to various countries such as Colombia, Jordan and Taiwan.[4] These trips occasionally take on a specific mission, such as retracing the Franklin's lost expedition in Nunavut.[5]

In 2007, the magazine launched its Global Travel Guide, which spotlights some of the most interesting trips and tours found from around the world.[6]

Over the years, Outpost has hosted many events in and around Toronto, including the highly publicized "Outpost Magazine Celebrates Jordan".[7]

Notable contributors

Awards

Outpost has been nominated for dozens of Canadian National Magazine Awards,[9] winning National Magazine of the Year in 2002. In addition, its contributors have earned the publication four gold medals, three silver medals and 19 honorable mentions. Many of the staff at Outpost are regarded as experts in the field, and are frequently interviewed in public issues, in and around Canadian travel.[10]
