About Our Story

Bringing together the voices of Canadians through authentic storytelling

Our Mission

Life in Canada Blog was born from a simple belief: every Canadian has a story worth telling. Whether you're a fifth-generation farmer in Saskatchewan, a new immigrant navigating Toronto's subway system, or a student experiencing their first Maritime winter, your experience matters.

We capture the authentic moments that define Canadian life — the frustration of learning to drive in a snowstorm, the joy of discovering a new community festival, the challenges of finding affordable housing, and the simple pleasure of a Tim Hortons coffee on a crisp morning.

Our mission is to create a digital space where these stories can flourish, connecting Canadians across vast distances and diverse backgrounds through shared experiences and mutual understanding.

How We Started

Founded in 2021 by a group of Canadian writers, photographers, and cultural enthusiasts, Life in Canada Blog began as a passion project during the pandemic. As we found ourselves more isolated than ever, we realized the importance of staying connected to our communities and sharing our experiences.

What started as a small collection of personal stories has grown into a comprehensive platform featuring hundreds of contributors from every province and territory. From Nunavut to Nova Scotia, from urban centers to rural communities, we've built a network of storytellers committed to authentic representation.

Today, we're proud to be one of Canada's leading digital storytelling platforms, with over 50,000 monthly readers and a growing community of contributors who help us paint a complete picture of Canadian life.
