Who owns and operates Canada Scene?
Canada Scene (canadascene.org) is owned and operated by Northern Beacon Media Inc., an Ontario corporation registered under number 1003194827. Our registered office is located at Unit 12, 95 King Street East, Toronto, ON M5C 1G4, Canada. The company was founded to fill a gap in accessible Canadian news and culture coverage for English-speaking readers both across Canada and internationally.
Northern Beacon Media Inc. identified that many Canadians lacked a single digital source that consistently delivered clear, independent reporting on national politics, business, technology, community stories and cultural coverage. Existing outlets often focused on regional or niche audiences, leaving a void for readers who wanted comprehensive, trustworthy journalism under one roof. Canada Scene was created to meet that demand with a dedicated editorial team and a clear separation between editorial decisions and commercial interests.
What is our editorial philosophy under Editor-in-Chief Catherine Roy?
Catherine Roy, as Editor-in-Chief (catherine.roy@canadascene.org, +1 416 555 0220), sets the editorial standards, makes all publication decisions and oversees corrections. Her philosophy centres on clarity, accountability and independence: every article must be understandable to a broad audience, every claim must be verifiable, and no outside influence may determine what we publish.
Under Ms. Roy’s direction, Canada Scene ensures that every piece of editorial content is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication. The editorial line is managed by Catherine Roy directly, supported by department editors who specialise in their beats. The result is a newsroom that values precision over speed and transparency over sensationalism.
How is the newsroom structured?
The newsroom is organised by desk to ensure deep coverage of key areas. Marc Tremblay, Managing Editor (marc.tremblay@canadascene.org, +1 416 555 0221), runs the daily newsroom, oversees headline review and commissions stories across all sections. Hannah Walsh, Municipal Affairs Editor (hannah.walsh@canadascene.org, +1 416 555 0222), covers city hall, councils and transit. Kevin Sullivan, Community & Events Correspondent (kevin.sullivan@canadascene.org, +1 416 555 0223), reports on community events and neighbourhoods. Jessica Morin, Provincial Affairs Editor (jessica.morin@canadascene.org, +1 416 555 0224), focuses on provincial policy and regional economics. Andrew Leblanc, Standards & Fact-Checking Lead (andrew.leblanc@canadascene.org, +1 416 555 0225), leads fact-checking, source verification and corrections.
This structure allows each editor to develop expertise and maintain consistent quality in their assigned area. Readers can see the full team and their roles at our team page.
What can readers expect from Canada Scene?
Readers can expect every article to carry a clear byline identifying the writer who reported and wrote it. Each piece is reviewed by an editor and checked against a rigorous fact-checking process before it goes live. When errors occur, we publish corrections promptly and transparently, as outlined in our editorial policy and sources & standards page.
We disclose all sources and methods where possible, and we provide full contact information for our editorial team so readers can hold us accountable. Our standards and fact-checking lead, Andrew Leblanc, ensures that every fact is traced to a reliable source and that any corrections are logged permanently. This commitment underpins every story we publish.
