EPCOR, Edmonton’s water utility company, released a graph showing water consumption on the greatest Sunday in Canadian history.
If synchronized peeing were an Olympic [...]

It’s rare to see a number of things in Winnipeg during March, but for the sake of narrowing things down, a bald eagle is at the center of attention in this post.
A ChrisD.ca reader caught this eagle Sunday in Osborne Village. This might very well be the same eagle the Freep’s Bart Kives spotted last [...]

A Vancouver webcam is catching the eye of Internet users this week, showing a stunning view from the Kitsilano area of Vancouver. KitsKam.com also features a blog, showcasing photos and time-lapse videos of the Vancouver skyline.

On January 12, Winnipeg was in 17th place for a spot on the new Monopoly board. We’re now in 22nd place! What?!

Hasbro Canada — makers of Monopoly — is scouring the country to narrow down the 22 best cities to appear on a new version of the game.
Voting began last night and Winnipeg desperately needs some votes!
There are 65 competing cities and towns that were pre-selected, including Regina of all places. Certainly, we can beat out [...]

The University of Winnipeg is creating a viral Internet movement based around a neat Easter egg hunt on their website.
The Division of Continuing Education has embedded a Konami Code into its website. In plain English — the code allows visitors to access secret, or hidden content by using select key strokes.
Facebook has a similar “cheat,” [...]

You already know the Olympic Torch Relay was in Winnipeg on Tuesday, which meant the six o’clock newscasts were going live from along the route.
By late afternoon, a number of live trucks and dishes were being set up. It was the lead story on all three major newscasts, but which station outdid the other?
