BESIDE magazine stands at the crossroads of nature and culture. It carries ideas, stories, and knowledge that will allow us to collectively shape a more sustainable future. Each issue brings together journalists, philosophers, adventurers, scientists, farmers, architects, artists, and entrepreneurs from across North America around a compelling question.

This issue explores resilience as a transformative force: the kind that allows us to weather storms, cope with loss, and rebuild differently. At the intersection of territories, cultures, and disciplines, it brings together essays, narratives, manifestos, and portfolios that question our capacity – individual and collective – to survive, adapt, and imagine a different tomorrow. From the Lower North Shore to mining towns, from the architecture of living together to culinary and artisanal gestures, this issue offers a deeply human perspective on what persists, is transmitted, and is reborn.
