History
The New Maritimes Editorial Council Society was founded on 17 January 1981. It was incorporated first in 1981 under the Corporations' Registrations Act and again in 1982 under the Societies' Act as a non-profit organization. The society's objective was to establish an independent and self-sufficient regional publication with a critical point of view. The editorial policy of its magazine, New Maritimes, was to publish material that reflected the distinctiveness of life in in the Maritime provinces, with emphasis on the region's culture and history, primary resources, and environment. Due to financial problems, the society disbanded on 8 January 1997, and the magazine ceased publication.
