The network has websites and social media extensions in , , and , 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.

As a local, sometimes it’s easy to let parts of your city go unnoticed. Whether your eyes are always glued to the ground as you quickly walk through downtown, or if you never stray from the same path on your daily commute home, you might never realize some of the neat things in the city you’re missing.

The highest forecast is that 72 million of them will be making their way up the river, which is more than double the largest run that’s ever been recorded. If not managed properly by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, there could be so many that they clog the river and prevent others from spawning.
