CRPA Bulletin Advertising

Advertise with Us

Tap into the world of radiation safety professionals!

The CRPA Bulletin, the digital magazine of the Canadian Radiation Protection Association, is a must-read publication for radiation protection professionals in Canada. The editorial content delivers the insights, contacts, information, advice, and valuable solutions that people in radiation protection need to stay at the forefront of their profession.

Advertising in the Bulletin delivers your message to the heart of the Canadian radiation protection community through an association and a publication that readers know and trust. If you want to reach the radiation protection community, the targeted nature of the Bulletin will get your message out to people who are interested in what you sell or do.

Online Format

2018 brought a major shift in the way we delivered the Bulletin to our membership and expanded our non-member audience. While the magazine had previously been printed and delivered through the mail, we embraced changes in the media landscape and moved the Bulletin online. Here’s why:

  • To publish information in a timely fashion to ensure our content is current
  • To ensure the Bulletin is accessible wherever you are – at home, at work, or even on vacation!
  • To make content searchable and archived articles easier to access

The other big change is that the Bulletin is now available to everyone, not just CRPA members! Making the Bulletin more accessible greatly increases our public profile and, as our readership grows, creates more advertising exposure.
