Toro was a Canadian men’s magazine. It was named by its owner, Christopher Bratty. The editorial was overseen by Derek Finkle. Cameron Williamson and Alicia Kowalewski were the creative and art directors, respectively.

Brand lineage

In 2003, TORO magazine entered into the Canadian marketplace as a glossy men's lifestyle publication, distributed by The Globe and Mail as well as by subscription and newsstand. During its four-year run, TORO garnered more than 60 National Magazine Award nominations. In 2007, TORO magazine suspended publication.

A web-only version of Toro, which was put together without Derek Finkle and the vast majority of the original print magazine’s editorial staff, later appeared but bore little resemblance to the original. It was short lived.
