For nearly 50 years, Electrical Business has been Canada's voice for the professional electrical community, and we continue to feature even more of the hands-on information you need to get the job done. We also invite everyone to share their knowledge, expertise, tips and tricks with their peers across Canada.

Check out our 2013 editorial calendar (next page). You'll see it provides broad opportunities for contributing articles, news, story ideas, etc. to not just the magazine, but to our website, as we now distribute E-LINE (our newsletter) twice monthly.
 
We will continue to feature our regular columns as well as investigative reports about important industry issues. As usual, we invite you to send letters to the editor, information on new products, open houses, anniversaries, etc. You name it, we want to know about it!And don’t forget about L’industrie électrique (a French-language publication serving the Quebec market) and Distribution & Supply (which serves Canada’s electrical distribution channel.

BlueBook Buyers’ Guide - FREE Listing
