[This post has been updated] Tom Gierasimczuk, the publisher and general manager of Vancouver Magazine and Western Living, has been released from the job by the owner, Yellow Pages, which acquired the magazines from TC Media a little over a year ago.
Gierasimczuk had left Canada Wide Media in October 2014 to head up the TC Media western division and continued in a similar role with YP Media after the takeover. Previously, he had been editor-in-chief of Marketing magazine and before that of up!, the inflight magazine published for Westjet by Red Point Media of Calgary. (In January of this year, he was named a director of Creative BC, a non-profit organization launched by the province to promote creative industries.)
[Update: Vancouver editor Max Fawcett has also been let go, although we understand he will be replaced. Western Living editor-in-chief Anicka Quin is to be editor-in-chief for both Vanmag and WL. (Fawcett moved from Alberta Oil just in October to take over from John Burns.) ]
