We’ve been planning this phased rollout of new content since last summer and are far enough along to announce what we’ve got in store for the rest of the spring and early summer. It’s an armful!
Since we started this project in 2016 we’ve been slowly working out the
kinks and gradually getting better at producing and delivering walking
tours and hundreds of then-and-now photo sets, improving the app and
adding new features, and ironing out our revenue streams. Now that we’ve
brought on a lot of talented new team members we’ve supercharged the
process and laid the groundwork for an app that can conceivably come to
cover all of Canada in a surprisingly short time–all without
compromising on the high quality of history writing and photography
we’re constantly striving for!
Within the next four months we will have walking tours and
hundreds of photo opportunities in every province in Canada, including
most of the country’s major cities.
Ross and I are attending
the Canadian Museums Association Conference in Toronto next week.
Combined with the impending launch of all our new content, we are hoping
we can make a bit of a splash on the national stage. We can’t thank
enough all the partners, friends, family members, and new team members
who have contributed so much to allow us to get to this point.
It’s thrilling to see how far we’ve come
and we can’t wait to see what the summer brings. Stay tuned and wish us
luck! And if you happen to live in one of our 13 new partner cities, be
sure to check out the app when we launch there and tell us what you
think.
