What's Awesome in Canada This Week?

The Canada Is Awesome network has websites and social media extensions in Vancouver, Whistler, Calgary and Toronto, with many more on the horizon. Our goal is simple: we let people know about all of the awesome things that make their Canadian cities great, despite the bad. I'm the founder of this network and each week in this What's Awesome post I bring you the top stories from each of our properties, giving you access to the best of our content all in one place.

Whether hosting or just ‘guesting’ a party, Granville Island has everything you need.

This holiday season we’ve partnered with our friends at Granville Island on a series of videos (hosted by yours truly), where we’ll be sharing some of the most awesome stuff happening down there.  We started with Gifting Made Easy, then shared Secret Santa Secrets, now it’s time to party.
