The Walrus is able to tell stories with big impact thanks to supporters like you.

I took a leap of faith and moved to Canada in May 2022. It was a completely new country, and I knew I had no more than three months to land on my feet.

A personal interaction with The Walrus staff at the Word on the Street festival in Toronto the following June encouraged me to buy a subscription. When I started reading the magazine for the first time, I was lost in it at once. Shortly after, I applied for a position at The Walrus and started working there in August, a week before the clock ran out on my three-month deadline.

Most of what I know of Canada, I’ve learnt from The Walrus, an organization which, to me, also reflects the best of this country. In many ways, The Walrus made my new Canadian life possible—and keeps it possible day after day. That’s why I support The Walrus, and I encourage you to do the same.
