I’ve worked in PR for over 18 years, and as a blogger for almost 10. So I’ve seen the rise of many Canadian lifestyle blogs. I’ve pitched many for clients and I know there are some really fantastic, established Canadian bloggers. But what about smaller but growing Canadian blogs that deserve some love?
These are women and men who have ventured into the blogosphere in the past five years or so, or perhaps have had a blog that they have recently boosted with amazing content and social media promotion.
They are Canadian parenting blogs, food and beverage blogs, travel, general lifestyle blogs or something like mine – a mix of lifestyle and blogging tips.
Why You Should Follow These Canadian Bloggers
These Canadian lifestyle blogs haven’t been overly pitched, with every blog post being sponsored content. Therefore, they are much more appealing to readers who want authenticity and real insights than a brand push behind it. A fine line!
They have fresh ideas and content and they are eager to share their stories and ideas with their readers. Furthermore, they want to be seen and heard. Therefore, getting a boost from others is always welcome.
So, my fellow PR professionals, it’s time to update those blogger lists. Get to know these new(ish), Canadian lifestyle bloggers!
I’m all about helping growing Canadian lifestyle blogs get a break!

Hi there! I’m a doctoral student in the US doing research on blogs. I have my list of most popular/influential US blogs, but I’d love your perspective on what the most popular/established lifestyle and parenting blogs are in Canada. Would you be able to give me 2-3 of those? As a US resident I just don’t know! Thanks so much for your help.
As a new Canadian blogger, I love finding other Canadian blogs to read and support. Thanks for sharing!
