Is there a way Canada can get sub-forums like the USA has? ie: Northeast/Southeast/Midwest/Southwest??? Can you create sub-forums for Canada such as Atlantic/Central/Prairie/Mountain/Pacific? Canada is a huge country and to just have one sub-forum (Canada) for the whole country seems silly.
Thanks and hope you can do this.

I remember suggesting giving Canada it's own years ago...kinda hard to imagine it without now!

But this makes sense now that membership has ramped up.
Glad to hear this idea coming up again!Originally Posted by County_mountie
Would Maritime, Central, Western and Pacific be more appropriate?

Actually Maritime only encompasses NS, PEI & NB...it doesn't include Newfoundland & Labrador...so Atlantic is proper...Western is not Prairie, so maybe just Atlantic/Central/Prairie/Pacific.

I think it's a great idea, even though I'm right over the boarder here in Michigan. Hanging in Canada has always been off my radar since it's so big and I'm not that familiar with the park system. I don't think twice about driving 8 hours to the UP or go out of state to hang, so this could serve as a catalyst to those of us who are neighbors.
I love hanging in Canada. I try to get up there a couple times a year. Hoping to go up in 2 weeks.
The forum is making progress, I remember when Canada was in the "Other" category.
Hanging in the woods, paddlin and catching trout- My kind of living...
But is it really necessary? There are only 11 threads posted in the last 6 months and 21 in the last 12 months.
Of those 21: 14 were for Ontario, 3 for the Maritime Provinces, 2 for Quebec and 2 for BC/Vancouver. Is forum so crowded it needs broken up?
Perhaps a better solution would be to push the title naming convention a little more and request people to start their trip planning threads with their region/province/ area like Chard does.
i.e. Canada>Ontario->EGL->2020 > Winter Backcountry - Early Feb 2020. Then you can be as specific as you like.
More sub forums is not always better.
I do not really care if it is done or not, but it seems to me like it would be harder to see what is going on in the great white north if there were 4 to 5 forums you have to jump to.

Maybe if there were more sub-forums more people would use it? Not sure why it matters how many posts there have been thus far; its only a sub-forum and given the fact that there are dumber sub-forums on here already I didn't think creating sub-forums for an actual country would be that much of a problem but surely you thought it was with the "research" you did.

There is a sub-forum for hang events in Canada. Is that what you are referring to?

It's just Canada....not broken up into regions like the USA folk have....ie: Northeast etc etc etc.
