History

Publishing efforts commenced in 1983 with the Citroën Autoclub Canada newsletter. Since 2001, George Dyke and John McCulloch (up until his passing on Nov. 16, 2017) served as co-editors for Citroën Autoclub Canada. The content and format of their work on the CAC newsletter quickly garnered professional recognition and in late 2002 their roles were expanded to include publishing the Citroënthusiast for the Citroën Club of North America.

As the means to electronically deliver content to club members became increasingly viable there was a desire, expressed by the publishers, to take a more open tact to embrace all North American Citroën clubs and offer superlative Citroën magazine content. Included in this effort, sections devoted to Clubs and organizations to outline activities and events that promote the Citroën lifestyle. In January 2009 CITROËNVIE magazine made its 40 page full colour debut, along with a new virtual Citroën community established around it.

2013 saw a shift to a solely web-based publishing effort, creating an online presence that continues to serve as a means for Citroën owners in Canada & the USA to network with each other, as well as connect with Citroën parts and service suppliers worldwide.
