ULTRA is a Tkaronto scene zine that began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to come together safely.

We hope to revive the kinds of exchanges we once had in spaces we can't access right now so our community will continue to grow.

​

ULTRA loves love. We celebrate difference and not hate.

$$$

At this time, ULTRA is a labour of love, which means we can't promise payment. As we get going, we hope to change that. For now, we can't express how grateful we are to have cats like ♡ you ♡ .
