Hamilton, Ontario is my hometown. It’s famous for a lot of things, like producing 60% of Canada’s Steel, being home to Dundurn Castle and for having the first ever Tim Horton’s shop. It is now also known for being the home of Jed. Jed is our dancing man. I hope if you’re ever in steel… Continue reading This is Jed

Immortal Fans
Do you love your football club enough to want your organs to live on in another fan once you pass? The passion of your support would live on in the person who receives your organs.

A Softer World

The Printed Pages
I came into work today to find the very first issue of It’s Nice That’s Printed Pages on my desk (thanks Rob!). In a time where most publications are moving away from print in favour of electronic versions, It’s Nice That have moved in the other direction – and what a great move.

Athletes can create a profile, share their ambitions and experience and then offer something, called a ‘Give back’ for their supporters on a… Continue reading Crowdfunding Atheletes
