In the period 1963--1973, Weekend Magazine was the most widely-circulated periodical in Canada, claiming more than two-million weekly readers. An English-language publication, Weekend Magazine largely overcame the difficulties which beset the Canadian magazine industry in the 1950s and 1960s by circulating as an insert in the Saturday edition of local newspapers across the country. As a national magazine aimed at a general audience of Canadians, Weekend was involved in the difficult pursuit of inventing a kind of national entertainment for its readers, while representing the diversity of local identity without betraying the integrity of the national context. / This thesis is the study of a certain representation of the 1960s in Canada---an interpretation of the way in which the most widely-circulated magazine reflected and represented the nation in a period of significant transition. In the first half of the Sixties, Weekend was about the articulation of the various local identities within Canada, but always with regard to a power structure that maintained certain racial, sexual and regional divisions. Yet, in the second half of the decade, we can witness a transformation of this power structure, and with it, a disintegration of the sense of unity that had been implied before. As Weekend begins to move from an either/or understanding of otherness in Canada towards a more complicated recognition of local identities, its vision of a united Canada begins to break down. / This thesis considers various representative articles from the period 1963 to 1973 in an effort to establish the shift in the representation of otherness in Weekend's Canada. The key theme is explored through representations of Gender, Youth Culture, Foreignness and Nationalism in the magazine. A summary and review of historiographical and theoretical literature constitutes the first chapter of the work.
