In 2017, Canadians across the country will share in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Confederation. We are a nation that is diverse, proud and filled with tradition. Yet for all our country’s rich heritage, we are constantly reflecting on the importance of diversity with the kind of energetic optimism that embraces progress.
In this issue, we embark on a journey across Canada to meet our nation’s modern pioneers. These bold visionaries are bridging past, present and future to reshape the frontiers of art, design, architecture, technology and real estate. You will discover the futuristic creations of renowned Toronto design firm Partisans, the innovative sculptures of Montreal’s David Umemoto, and Vancouver-based light designers Lukas Peet and Caine Heintzman of ANDlight, as well as others who are reimagining the definition of luxury.
You are also invited to celebrate how Canada’s brightest voices are resonating worldwide — whether literally, through the ballads of critically acclaimed soprano Eleanor McCain, or figuratively, through the creative expressions of esteemed artists such as photographer Gabor Jurina and fashion design sensation Christie Smythe.
Through our experience in showcasing Canada’s finest properties, we understand that every home and every neighbourhood has an ever-evolving story. At Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, how we tell those stories has rapidly evolved to encompass the finest in traditional marketing, and innovative global digital and social media channels.
We invite you to discover these homes and stories within our magazine — and to further explore them at sothebysrealty.ca for an even richer experience.
Live your life luxuriously.
