Canada’s ONLY Pin Up Magazine
Pin-Ups of the Frozen North…
Okay, so Canada isn’t always frozen—just about nine months of the year ❄️😉.
True North Pin Up Magazine was born in the blustery winter of 2018, sparked by one simple question: Where can a Canadian pin-up get published?
Keri searched high and low but found nothing that truly celebrated Canada’s pin-up community. While there are plenty of incredible magazines abroad, Canada didn’t have its own dedicated space. But what she did discover was an incredible, thriving network of pin-ups, vintage lovers, and rockabilly enthusiasts from coast to coast—just waiting to be connected.
That’s where the mission began: to create the first and only 100% Canadian pin-up publication.
At True North Pin Up, connection is everything. We are here to bring together pin-ups, vintage enthusiasts, and retro culture lovers across Canada. Whether you’re a model, photographer, retailer, artisan, musician, or event organizer, we celebrate and support the people, places, and businesses that make up this vibrant community.
✨ Our mission: To empower and revolutionize the pin-up world through body positivity, inclusivity, and the authentic expression of self—all while keeping it proudly Canadian.
🇨🇦 From Canadians, for Canadians—because vintage style knows no borders, but we sure love the True North!
Our Values
Connection. Integrity. Empowerment. Local. Revolution.
We believe in supporting others and creating safe spaces.
We actively support Diversity and Inclusion, Women’s Rights, LQBTQIA+, Black Lives Matter, All Children Matter, MMIWGs, and the BIPOC Communities.
We respectfully acknowledge that True North Pin Up Magazine operates on lands that have been cared for by Indigenous peoples across what we now call Canada, from coast to coast to coast to coast. In Drumheller, Alberta, our home office is situated on Treaty 7 territory, the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy—including the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda Nation, which consists of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley Nations. We also acknowledge the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, who have a long-standing connection to this land.
Across Canada, we recognize the diversity and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, who have stewarded these lands for generations. We honour their history, cultures, and knowledge and commit ourselves to working toward meaningful reconciliation, building connections rooted in respect, equity, and community.
