Welcome to THE CANADA BLOG
Welcome to The Canada Blog, a news design blog for and about Canada's vibrant design community.
Regions 9 and 10, representing Western and Eastern Canada, have joined forces to create a unified site to help keep you up to date with Canadian design happenings.
Although we do not have all the bloggers together yet, we have a pretty dynamic crew already. All of you know Region 9 Director Gordon Preece, art director of the Winnipeg Free Press; and Michael Bird, Region 10 Director and Deputy Editor of Presentation and Editing at The Globe and Mail. And me, Gayle Grin, Managing Editor, Design and Graphics, National Post, SND Vice President.
Others on the team so far are Nicole MacAdam, Deputy Editor, Presentation and Editing, Report on Business, The Globe and Mail; Ron Wadden, National Post's Financial Post Design Editor; Steve Murray, comic book illustrator and part of National Post graphics department; Janet Matiisen, Senior News Editor, Design, Calgary Herald; Susan McDonough, Director of Design, The Ottawa Citizen; Justin Stahlman, graphic artist at Le Journal de Montreal (Justin has worked at several papers in Canada, The Montreal Gazette, Le Soleil, The Toronto Star as well as the U.S.); and Adam Sommerfeld, Directeur du design, Lacava Design.
More to come: Toronto Star is immersed in a redesign and cannot join us yet. And we are looking for more participants from Western Canada.
But here we are: The Canada Blog. Welcome!

Hello Gayle and friends.
Love the tagline - there's nothing like being "Lovingly Maintained" by one's Canadian friends!
Speaking of maintainence - who will be joining me in Winnipeg this week at CNA?
I'll be there - we have some multimedia things to talk about.
Hope to see you there.

Winnipeg - CNA
Congrats to Gayle, Michael and everyone else on this important new addition to the SND publications family. We all look forward to having a better sense and a deeper connection to what our friends to the north are involved in. Good luck and thanks for bringing us all along for the ride! :)
What's the best way to post French accents to the blog? They come through as html code.

à
√¢
etc...
Thanks to Kenney Marlatt and Michael Bird for pointing out the solution to accents when blogging:
Rather than type the accent as you would in a word processor, you need to use the specific HTML code for each accented letter. Here's a guide to the code:
