''Cottage Life'' is a Canadian magazine focusing on cottage lifestyle content. First published in the summer of 1988, the publication features how-to articles, buying guides, tips and expert advice on all aspects of cottage life. The award-winning magazine is published six times a year by Cottage Life Media Inc. == History == In 1985, magazine founder Al Zikovitz and his wife were visiting a friend’s cottage in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada when they discovered the property that would eventually become their family cottage. They found themselves asking questions faced by many new cottage owners. Those questions led Zikovitz to his lightbulb moment. If he was asking those questions, surely other cottagers were asking them too. Cottagers old and new needed a magazine that would be useful and informative, something they could keep and refer back to again and again. Three years later, in the summer of 1988, the first issue of Cottage Life hit the newsstands. The goal of the magazine was to enhance and preserve the quality of cottage living, and it was full of tips and ideas to make time at the lake not only easier, but more fun. It was an immediate success and quickly became the definitive source for cottagers in Ontario and beyond. It has also been recognized with more than 125 awards, including Magazine of the Year〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.magazine-awards.com/index.cfm/ci_id/1321/la_id/1 )〕 from both the National Magazine Awards Foundation, the Canadian Society of Magazine Editors, and the International Regional Magazine Association. The magazine’s popularity prompted Zikovitz to consider other ways to reach cottagers, and the company soon grew to include Cottage Life Television, Cottage Life merchandise, and Cottage Life Books. Then, in 1994, the Spring Cottage Life Show was born and has been held every spring since. In 2004, the company launched the Fall Cottage Life Show to cater to the growing popularity of winter cottaging. Cottage Life is a value-driven publication that seeks to be the first source for cottage-related information, products, and services, and encourages environmentally conscious behaviour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cottage Life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
