On Friday October 24th, at Tourism Vancouver Island’s 45th Annual Conference, the Alberni Valley Tourism council received recognition for its efforts and achievements over the past year by winning the Multi-Faceted Advertising Campaign award.

The Multi-Faceted Advertising Award recognizes a business or organization for its innovative use of various forms of advertising in a campaign that was successful in attracting traveling consumers. Alberni Valley Tourism won the award for its Bear Tracks and Lumberjacks brand, and a year-long campaign that included a photo contest, the development of a website, newspaper and TV advertising, brochures, kids’ placemats, flags, stickers, and a Seven Wonders of the Alberni Valley contest.

Hello everyone, my name is Shane Vincent and I am a web developer with Redbird Communications. Our president has graciously opened up the Redbird blog to employee posts, so I've decided to use this opportunity to shamelessly promote my personal websites - hah!

First up, CanadaGTiR.com.

This site was born out of my love for the Nissan Pulsar GTiR, a right hand drive import from Japan. I had such a difficult time finding relevant local information on the car that I decided to create a Canada specific forum where I could find answers to all sorts of Nissan Pulsar questions. So far the site has been up for a bit less than a year, and already we've got a decent little community going. As of this writing the site has just under three hundred registered users posting topics and articles, and gets about 16,000 pageviews a month (thats just over 500 per day!)

Next up is canadagtir.com's sister site, canadagtr.com.

Don't let their almost identical url's (and design) fool you - these are two completely separate sites. CanadaGTR is a forum for Nissan GTR enthusiasts in Canada. The GTR is the latest and greatest sports car from Nissan, and my absolute DREAM. I sold my Pulsar on the previous site, so I figure I'll buy my GTR on this site (but with an $80,000 price tag, it wont be for a while yet..)

The first winner of Redbird's 'Client Appreciation Freebie' award was Steve Torrence, Executive Director of the Construction Safety Network of BC. Steve chose to use his freebie on a logo for a new theatre company that he and wife Karen Golden are founding.
