Significant Awards

March 2002

In March 2002, we were surprised with the Cool Canuck Site Award. They indicate that "the purpose of this Award is to promote Sites with Quality Canadian content, and give the opportunity to Canadian Sites across our Great Country, to be viewed and shared by all. To Qualify for this most Prestigious of Canadian Awards your Site must of course contain Canadian content. Your Site must also be able to be viewed by all members of the family and be in the true nature of the Canadian Spirit. " (www.coolcanuckaward.ca, March 2002)

BellaOnline.com says their mission is "to create an environment [for women] that solves problems, provides peer advice, shares collective information, and most importantly, is fun." Monthly, Genealogy at BellaOnline.com honours a genealogy website with the Site of the Month award to "sites that offer a lot of information, that are easily navigated and laid out in a clean, easy-to-read style." They honoured the Canadian Genealogy Projects Registry with this award in May 2001.
