Discourse Media is an independent, for-profit media company. We provide high-quality, consequential journalism about complex issues. We not only reveal problems, but also point possible paths forward, helping our audience move from dismay to possibility, passivity to action.

Documentary has grown in popularity over the years, effecting social, environmental and political change. For the past decade, the internet has played a major role in democratizing the distribution and marketing of documentaries. We believe the time has come to democratize documentary production. So in 2017, we decided to create a network of documentary lovers and changemakers that would fund impactful content and help filmmakers maintain the freedom that they need to create.

Driftscape connects local destinations with visitors via our mobile apps. We focus on local culture so visitors can find the best of what’s nearby. Local destinations get powerful tools to learn about their visitors, at a fraction of the cost of building their own app.

We work with respected cultural organizations like Historical Canada, National Trust for Canada and Heritage Toronto to create a single place for users to learn about where they are from trusted experts.

Our mission is to make local culture easier to discover. We believe that creating a platform where diverse stories can be shared will inspire a greater understanding of the spaces we inhabit and the people we share them with.

Driftscape was built by an experienced team working between Toronto and Waterloo, and was founded in 2017.
