Weird Canada

Weird Canada is a blog that celebrates Canadian emerging music, literature, spaces, ideas, and art.

In 2011, Weird Canada won CBC Radio 3's Searchlight competition for Best Canadian Music Website.

The organization presents music showcases both independently and in partnership with festivals and other organizations, creates resources for the independent and emerging arts community, and continues to publish the Weird Canada web site.

The organization is supported by over 450 volunteers (from Victoria to Nunavut) and continues to spark dialogue and change relating to accessibility, inclusivity, organizational openness, and responsive community building.

Canadian indie musicians Grimes, Mac DeMarco[2] and Sean Nicholas Savage[3] got their first exposure through Weird Canada.
