Every week in the course of checking out all the great content our members produce, surfing for great blogging or small business resources, trying to find new inspiration for ourselves and all of you or, just looking for something really good to eat, we come across a lot of great stuff out there on the internet.
Sometimes we just don't have time to tweet, facebook or instgram it all. So we thought we'd start a Weekend Links Edition of the news where we could share some of our great finds with all of you.
We might not publish every week and this might evolve over time but, we're going to start this week because there was just too much great stuff to pass by!

Gosh – there were myriads of food festivals streaming through instagram this past week – including the one in Whistler and one I and several other Alberta Food Bloggers attended in Jasper: Christmas in November… it is one of the best culinary events in Canada… and was definitely covered by many Food Blogger of Canada members – Dan Goodside, Julie van Rosendaal (and she presented), myself, Karlynn Johnson and several more.
