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
DIY in YYC: The Podcast Edition
Tip Tap Tip: Calgary's Intrepid Podcasters
The primary gist of this column is an exploration of the cultural tidbits that exist outside of the theatres, galleries and clubs of our lovely city. This week, I found myself thinking about the cultural medium that I am most enamoured with, and how it fits into the “stumble-upon-it” ethos. Podcasts, once the lonely bastard sons of “real radio,” are now bona fide cultural products.

Read This Letter from the Mom of a Sweet Vancouver Kid With Autism #lightitupblue
A little while back we ran an iPad giveaway with TELUS which was different than any we’ve ever done; instead of doing an “RT to win!” contest on Twitter or getting our readers to join our mailing list to be entered, we asked for YOUR help to give it away to someone who needed it. Needing an iPad might seem like a strange concept but if you read the letter that I received today from the person we gave it to you’ll see how it made a difference with some special needs kids in the Vancouver school system who got looked over in the iPad budget this year.
