ReNew Canada

What ReNew Canada does

ReNew Canada is a privately held Canadian B2B trade media company, founded in 2005 and headquartered at 218 Adelaide Street West, Toronto. The company publishes a print and digital magazine (ReNew Canada Magazine) covering public infrastructure news, policy, projects, financing, and legal trends across Canada, distributed to infrastructure professionals, policymakers, and construction industry leaders. Its flagship editorial product is the annual Top100 Projects Report, which ranks the 100 largest public-sector infrastructure projects under development in Canada and serves as a recognized industry benchmark.

The business operates three revenue streams: recurring magazine subscriptions (annual billing, refunds within 30 days), advertising sold against its website and digital magazine, and event revenue from the annual Top100 Projects Key Players and Owners Dinner, Webinar Series, podcasts, and Career Fair. The underlying technology platform is a WordPress-based CMS powering the renewcanada.net website and a separate eMagazine reader; subscriptions are processed through the Dragonforms subscription management platform, and the site is operated on SiteMedia's publishing infrastructure.

ReNew Canada targets a vertical-specific audience of senior infrastructure decision-makers across all Canadian regions (Northern, Western, Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario), with content segmented by sector including transportation, health care, water, energy, construction, and Indigenous infrastructure. The company is small (1-10 employees), independently operated with no disclosed parent company, venture backing, or external funding rounds, and shows no evidence of AI capability, API offerings, patents, certifications, or external partnerships.

Regional players

• Public Works magazine: Public Works is a US-focused B2B trade publication serving government public works and infrastructure officials. It is a regional peer covering the same vertical (public-sector infrastructure) and similar audience of policymakers, but is US-centric rather than Canadian.

Broad incumbents

• Construction Dive: Construction Dive is a leading digital-first B2B media brand covering the North American construction industry.

Emerging players
