About

WGO Magazine

Independently published from June 1995 until late in 2003, What’s Goin On Magazine was a unique periodical dealing exclusively with Cape Breton Island’s arts and entertainment industry. The magazine’s writers and photographers came from the arts community and represented upcoming and established writers, musicians, actors, playwrights, songwriters, poets and visual artists. From this insider’s perspective, What’s Goin On Magazine offered an informed point of view. Features, reviews, notes and news on the Island’s music, theatre, literature, film and television production, sound recording, visual art and dance brought the vibrant culture of arts and entertainment on Cape Breton Island to life week after week and month by month.

Relaunched in January 2010, WGO Magazine now publishes and updates its comprehensive website daily. WGO Magazine publishes listings and covers arts and entertainment as before, but will also get into lifestyle and recreation activities and issues as well. It’s about living here on Cape Breton Island. The website will present an enhanced and expanded interactive version of the soon to be paper edition.

As Cape Breton’s premier source of information for those living an active life on Cape Breton Island, WGO profiles and serves those looking to master the art of living on Cape Breton Island. WGO Magazine celebrates and inspires our community with its unique blend of engaging profiles, in-depth articles and comprehensive event listings.

Every article in WGO Magazine focuses on the people, places and things that make Cape Breton what it is and what it has the potential to become.
