The Canada Is Awesome network has websites and social media extensions in Vancouver, Squamish, 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

Jump start your game day with free TELUS Wi-Fi

Have you ever forgotten your phone at home and felt like you were completely naked the whole day? It’s happened to me more often than I care for. We live in a world where we are constantly connected and I don’t know what I would do without my smartphone to Google info, map the quickest trip, share my tweets and more! That’s why our community partner TELUS has stepped in to make sure that we can stay connected by offering free wi-fi in public locations including our very own Scotiabank Saddledome.

SQUAMISH

Creators of Evil Dead Musical and South Park present “Cannibal! The Musical”

Chris Bond, co-creator of Evil Dead The Musical, has a new show coming to Toronto February 10th – March 8th, 2015... “Cannibal! The Musical”. I recently got to chat with Chris about his history with the horror genre as well as how he came to re-create this cult classic.

VANCOUVER

Steam Clock Hijinks

A few weeks back I made a POST about husband and wife design duo Jennifer Newsom Carruthers and Tom Carruthers who were raising money for an art installation through Kickstarter. Their “Make It Rain” concept for a 27’-tall, tapering, and reflective soft cylinder mounted onto the existing base of the under-repairs Gastown steam clock was successfully funded (YES!) and installed recently.
