I’m always looking for ways to bring us Canadianstogether through sharing our stories, music, movies, made-in-Canada products, and more.
Every day, I’m going to post a thread on social media sharing information about a randomly selected Canadian community. My hope is that this will help make our Country feel a bit smaller and a bit more connected.
Plus, it’s a cool way to learn something new about different parts of Canada. Who knows, maybe it will inspire you to travel to new places or maybe it will trigger a memory of time spent in other parts of the country.
I’m tagging the series #canadaliveshere.
I’d love to know what you think about this idea. Do you think it’s valuable or not really?
Take a sec. to type a quick comment to tell me your thoughts.
