'''''Peace Magazine''''' is a Canadian magazine on [disarmament](/source/disarmament) and [peacebuilding](/source/peacebuilding) issues, published by Canadian Disarmanent Information Service (CANDIS).

==History and profile==
''Peace Magazine'' was launched in 1985 as a continuation of an earlier CANDIS publication, ''The Peace Calendar'', which appeared monthly between February 1983 and January 1985. Originally a simple listings sheet for Toronto-area peace events, ''The Peace Calendar'' had expanded into a 12-page tabloid with articles and analysis in addition to Canada-wide listings in the period immediately before the ''Peace Magazine'' launch.

The magazine published monthly from March to December 1985; bimonthly from January–February 1986 to May–June 1999; and quarterly since July–September 1999. There has been formal and informal cooperation with other Canadian and international [peace](/source/peace) organizations throughout the magazine's history; from 1993 to 2006 the magazine included a section produced in collaboration with [Science for Peace](/source/Science_for_Peace).

''Peace Magazine'' was one of the first Canadian magazines to be produced with desktop publishing software. Its website has been online since 1997, includes a full set of archives from 1983 to the end of the preceding calendar year.<ref>[http://www.peacemagazine.org/ Peace Magazine homepage], Retrieved 22 July 2011.</ref>

The magazine has had a strong editorial emphasis on [democracy](/source/democracy), [human rights](/source/human_rights), and the technical aspects of [disarmament](/source/disarmament). Its writers are roughly equally distributed between activists and academics, with considerable overlap between these two spheres. The editor is retired sociologist and peace activist [Metta Spencer](/source/Metta_Spencer).<ref>[http://www.peacemagazine.org/info.htm Peace Magazine website, "About Peace Magazine"], Retrieved 22 July 2011.</ref>
