	ParentsCanada launched in March 2007 with a mandate to turn a new page in parenting magazines. Rather than simply tell our readers how to parent, we give them options and ideas. Being a parent can be tough and exhausting work, but with a little levity and fun, we strive to help parents keep their sanity. With Dr. Marla Shapiro as our editor from the outset, we maintain a strong commitment to healthy living through fitness and nutrition articles. Our food editor Julie Van Rosendaal develops recipes that promote having kids in the kitchen. We publish eight issues a year, and each one is brimming with informative articles and engaging design.  ParentsCanada is available at Chapters, Indigo and Coles stores, by subscription, or as a free gift to OwlKids subscribers.
