A
Little About Us
Our company, EyesOnBC
Publishing, is dedicated to promoting and celebrating people living
and doing business in the smaller, growing communities of central Vancouver
Island through its magazine, The Beacon.
We strive to publish
high-quality editorial content that:
- acknowledges the connectedness
of community
- encourages positive discussion
and debate about future growth and development
- honours the diversity of
opinion and peoples
- celebrates individual and
collective contributions to our past and future development
- presents a balanced view
of issues that impact our communities
- chronicles and preserves
our legacy for future generations
How
It All Started
EyesOnBC Publishing's
flagship publication, The Beacon, hit the streets in May of 2004 after
only three weeks of brainstorming and production. Starting out as an
8-page newsletter, simply photocopied and folded by hand by co-publishers
Linda Tenney and Sharon Waugh, The Beacon grew to become a 56-page monthly
magazine that celebrated it's 5th year anniversary in 2009.
Production quickly
jumped from The Beacon's first printing of 500 copies in 2004 to its
current distribution of 8,000, covering the communities of Parksville,
Qualicum Beach, Qualicum Bay, Bowser, Deep Bay and Fanny Bay.
