Viewfinder
Started in ZOOM's 5th issue, the Viewfinder pages grew out of the compulsion of certain Sunshine Coast residents to share their good fortune by mailing issues of ZOOM to faraway friends and relatives.
Ice Visions
What is it about ice? Besides the fact that it is so very familiar to Canadians, it might be that ice illustrates so beautifully the solid phase of matter that we grapple with daily in less appealing forms.

Moorestock Ladies’ Retreat
A recent collaboration between Moorestock Outfitters, SunCoast Wellness, Om My Goodness, and Paige Lorraine Photography shows how local businesses really can support each other through the challenges.
Bravo, Nikki!
ZOOM magazine celebrates the Sunshine Coast, and in particular, our diverse cultural activities. In this issue we want to put the spotlight on Nikki Weber for her tireless enthusiasm and unfailingly positive influence on our music scene.
Home Bound at Ikhaya
Ikhaya started as a small boutique decor shop less than five years ago. When the opportunity to expand opened up, owner Genevieve Meyer seized it.
The Shop on the Shore
Fine art nestles alongside vintage, decor sets off jewellery, contemporary clothing hangs beside antiques, with everything of the highest quality and artfully presented.
Cooking for the Holidays
Whether or not you put on a fabulous spread it is truly the time that we spend together that makes our holiday meals extra special. May your holiday season be filled with the luxury of sharing time with those you love most.
