Canta is a magazine. It has pages made of paper with ink imprinted upon them. Sometimes people read these pages. Sometimes people do not. We don’t like the latter group, but that’s okay, because they’re not reading this.

For 727 years (or 81, who’s counting?), Canta has been entertaining and informing the students of the University of Canterbury (and previously, the Milton Womens’ Needlework Academy) with a mix of award-winning* student journalism of the highest quality, news, columns, features, cartoons, dinosaurs, letters, reviews, and the world’s foremost coverage of sock puppets and sock puppet-related issues.

(* We are the proud recipients of 47 Pulitzer Prizes, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1963, and the Takapuna Rotary Club award for best freestyle kickboxing team 1973 through 1984. Most importantly, we won four Aotearoa Press Association Awards in 2010, along with a further four placings.)

 You can pick Canta up for free — free – on newsstands around the University of Canterbury campus every Wednesday morning, assuming the delivery person wakes up on time. You can also read it for free online. We won’t give you the website address; you’re just going to have to track it down for yourself.

 Canta. Because it’s not like you have anything better to do in your Wednesday morning lecture.
