Every issue, front to back

What's inside.

01

The Cover Story

One Kitsilano business, the people behind the counter, and how they ended up on this block. Shot on their own sidewalk, told in their own words.

02

Insider Guides

The patios worth the wait, the new openings, the quiet spots locals guard. The stuff you'd text a friend — collected in print.

03

The Kits Map

A hand-illustrated map of the neighbourhood, from Jericho to Burrard, with every local business on it. This is the page people pin to the fridge.

04

Neighbours

Short profiles of the people who make Kits feel like Kits — the lifeguard, the market grower, the guy who's run the same shop for thirty years.

05

The Calendar

What's on between now and the next issue: markets, festivals, community meetings, and the first properly warm weekend of the year.

06

The Directory

Every local business in the issue, organized and easy to find. The neighbourhood's phone book, minus everything you'd skip.

The boundary

If you live in this box, it's yours.

Every home and business between English Bay and West 16th, Burrard to Alma, gets a copy through the door — houses, townhomes, apartments and laneway suites alike. Nobody subscribes and nobody pays. It arrives, it sits on the coffee table, and it stays there until the next one.

Reader nominations

You know something we don't.

so tell us about it.

The shop you've gone to for fifteen years. The neighbour with the improbable front garden. The thing everyone on your block complains about. Most of what ends up in the guide starts as a reader tip — and Issue 01's picks are still open.

Questions from the neighbourhood

The short answers.

Yes. Kitsilano Insiders costs you nothing and always will. It arrives in your mailbox six times a year whether you asked for it or not. The magazine is paid for by the local businesses who advertise in it — the same ones you already walk past every day.
