Today’s Parent is Canada’s #1 parenting media
brand, and reaches parents 24-7 through mobile,
social media, print, tablet and more. We help
parents-to-be through pregnancy and stick with
them through the tricky tween years, providing
best-in-class, multi-platform content on health,
discipline, recipes, learning, behaviour and more.
We’ve been helping Canadians celebrate their
families for 30 years. We don’t preach, and we
don’t pretend to have all the answers. Because
we’re parents ourselves, we are all about solutions
that make families’ lives easier–and maybe
provide a laugh along the way.
