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.

CALGARY

CMW with a Purpose

Local artists pay tribute to those lost in Brentwood tragedy. Canadian Music Week is held annually in various cities throughout Canada for the nation to come together as one and celebrate the thing we love most, music! This year CMW was held from May 6-10th in the beautiful city of Toronto and not surprisingly, featured a diverse lineup with several Calgarian acts. Included in these were: 36?, Windigo, Obey the Crooks, The Rumble, Amy Carson Hunter and Steve Rokosh.

 

TORONTO

May’s Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival

The Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival is once again in full bloom this spring. Holding the title for the largest annual photography event in the world, CONTACT continues to grow with over 1500 artists showcasing their work at hundreds of venues across the GTA.

VANCOUVER

The Juice Truck is Opening a Storefront in Mount Pleasant!

Zach Berman and Ryan Slater have come a long way since launching Canada’s first ever mobile juice and smoothie bar in Canada back in 2011. Zach was recently awarded a BC Business 30 UNDER 30award, they’ve been featured on EAT STREET TV and I imagine most of you have enjoyed their juices and smoothies. They’ve become a part of the fabric of this city in a short amount of time and a bit of an overnight success story.
