St. Joseph Communications was founded in 1956 by Gaetano Gagliano as a printing house. Gagliano and his growing family emigrated from Italy shortly after the war. He initially found work laying track for CP Rail, but could not forget about his lifelong dream of becoming a printer. So in 1956, he started a small print business in the basement of his family home. He specialized in letterpress work such as birth announcements, invitations and business cards. He expanded business through new equipment and technology, strategic acquisitions and bigger facilities. By the 1980s, St. Joseph Print was one of the largest privately owned print companies in Canada, and growth continued in the 1990s and early 2000s. In addition to printing, the company expanded into photography, content creation, publishing, and media. In 2022, SJC acquired Assembly, one of Canada's fastest growing startups, to expand their footprint into technology and performance marketing. Media
SJC's Media division was established in 2001 with the acquisition of Multi-Vision Publishing, and expanded further the following year with the acquisition of Key Media. Its original brands include Fashion Magazine, and Toronto Life, as well as Mariage Québec, Ottawa Magazine, and Wedding Bells. The company also previously published Saturday Night, Elm Street, Books for Everybody, The Look, and Shift. In March 2011, St. Joseph Media acquired the Toronto blog Torontoist.com, which it resold to Daily Hive in 2019. On March 20, 2019 SJC Media agreed to acquire Rogers Media's Publishing assets from Rogers Communications. Once the deal was finalized, SJC took ownership of Maclean's, Chatelaine (English), Châtelaine (French), Today's Parent, Hello! Canada, Canadian Business, and Flare. Media Brands
