Hi Prima, I didn’t realise that I signed up for HO ages ago. I was kwass on chowhound.
Nice to see you here, @Kare
Hi Phoenikia. I’m on board here from Chow. Thanks for leading the way. I’m glenna187
Thanks, Prima!!
“5 or 6 years ago, one member, @Captcrunch , tried to get the Montreal board going here on HO. Hopefully, some people from Quebec, and the other provinces will start posting here on HO”.
That would be nice, especially since my wife and I will be in Montreal for the entire month of May and could always use some more input.
Welcome , @glenna187 !
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
“[Toronto] [Ontario]”? Should read, “[Ontario] [Toronto]”!

Welcome @DockPotato !
I wasn’t thinking about the order, at all! I didn’t add Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Vancouver, Halifax, etc in brackets in the subject line because I’m not sure where our new members are based.
Feel free to include your city, Region or county in square brackets in the subject line, so it helps with the search engine.
I’ve been spending much of my time west of the Golden Horseshoe, too.
No offence was taken, Diana. I lived for over in Toronto for over 40 years and left in 2004. My comment was intended as a friendly “chirp”.
As more of us migrate from CH or discover HO, our regional peculiarities will become apparent through our posts - your “catalogue tree” will suggest itself.
Cheers
I’m in Ottawa!
Gooditsall landing here from Chowhound. Located in Eastern Ontario.
Oops! Good to know
Welcome - looking forward to your posts!
Hi everyone, still getting used to HO and its set of bells and whistles. My name hasn’t changed too much from Chowhound - different rules about punctuation and spaces. Glad to see so many familiar names and looking forward to getting to know others.
Here from Chowhound!
Welcome @SNACKeR!
@SNACKeR, re: Canada Board
I’ll respond to your comment here, rather than on CH.
If we, as Ontarians, get enough traffic going, we will be able to have the technical team create an Ontario and/or Toronto board.
I think Ontario Board to start makes more sense. When you wrote about a specific place, you should include the city name in square brackets in the subject line, to help with the search results.
If you’re writing about a specific shop, restaurant, bakery , etc, you can enter the location of the business into the post, as well.
We have at least 3 Ottawa Members, as well as members in Eastern Ontario, southwestern Ontario, in addition to the GTA.
I know we have a few members from Quebec, BC, Manitoba and Alberta. I’m not sure if we have any members from the Maritimes, or up North, yet.
Most Canadian posts previous to this week were trip planning posts visiting BC and AB, or CaptCrunch’s Mtl posts from 2015.
. This welcome thread is to connect all the Canadian residents. When you post threads going forward, keep the location in the subject line.
The search on this site works really well.

Hello from Camrose, Alberta!
Hi @Christie! Nice to have some Albertans taking part!!
I’m hoping to visit Alberta this fall!
This is a trip report from my last vacation! I haven’t been on a plane or outside Ontario since my trip to Jasper! [Alberta, Jasper] trip report from Jasper
Canadian residents, Canadian expats and visitors to Canada, and anyone else.
I’m not sure which posters in the which regions will end up being most prolific on a regional Canadian boards.
For the time being, how do you feel about asking for 3 regional boards:
Toronto and the Greater Toronto area
Everywhere else in Ontario [tag Ottawa, southwestern Ontario, NOTL, Muskoka, PEC, etc when you post )
Everywhere else in Canada (Tag [Western Provinces], [Montreal] when you post)
Or, tongue-planted-in-cheek, we could ask for these 2 regional boards:
Toronto AKA The Centre of the Universe Board
Everywhere else in Canada Board (tag Montreal, Vancouver , Ottawa etc in the subject line)
I haven’t seen many regional posts about dining outside the GTA. There are several reports re: Canadian locations each year, but not enough traffic for other regional Canadian boards yet, so it doesn’t make sense to change the architecture until we have the posts to fill the Boards.
