We can hardly wait for the O Canada Blogathon! Image: giphy.com

Winter’s hottest blogathon is almost here! The O Canada Blogathon (February 3-5) celebrates Canada’s remarkable contributions to film.

It’s not too late to join in the fun! Click HERE for blogathon details and topic suggestions. Although we’re not posting a schedule, we will post a recap each evening. So join us any day you like!

Just a reminder about our “rules”:

  • No duplicate topics, please, but if a person is being profiled as a bio you can still cover a specific movie by them.
  • We encourage classic movies, but certainly won’t exclude modern era or TV series.
  • post any day during the blogathon.
  • help promote the event via #OCanadaBlogathon.

Your co-hosts are:

Kristina of Speakeasy

Ruth of Silver Screenings

Click HERE for the list of the participants.

We look forward to celebrating films made in, by or about the Great White North!

    Ok I think I’m going to throw my hat in the ring for this one – I’ve had it in the back of my mind to do a post on Carole Lombard’s days with Mack Sennett so now’s as good a time as any – holy moly I better get writing eh?!

    Hi…I’m done. Here is my post: https://thoughtsallsorts.wordpress.com/2017/02/03/delightful-the-grand-seduction/
    As soon as the O Canada Blogathon is “live” I’ll link my banner through to the Blogathon page.

    I do need to let you down by one post though…unexpectedly I’ve had to take on additional work from my boss these last two weeks so haven’t had the chance to do my second entry. I’ll try though…I’ll try 😉 I don’t like letting my fellow bloggers down.

      Thanks for the link! And don’t worry about the send entry. If you’re able to get to it, great! But if not, can we take a rain check for next year?

      Looking forward to reading your thoughts on The Grand Seduction.
