Alison & What's On

Welcome to the What’s On Blog

Hi folks,

This is Alison Hird of  the popular events website What’s On Ontario (www.whatson.ca). What’s On provides a comprehensive Events Calendar for the GTA and beyond. We have been in operation for 10 years and have a huge following. So far, we have communited with our visitors via email.

Often used as an information service, some visitors ask to find certain events, whereas the people listing their events write regularly with questions and updates. As the site and visitor population has grown, the amount of email traffic has become quite unmanageable.  If you wish to stay up-to-date with what’s happening and What’s On….. Hit the RSS Feed.

So, here it is….. the blog. Through this medium we plan to offer information of how and when to add events. Announce cut-off dates for our associated print publications, give advice on getting events listed and of course help our visitors find what they need through What’s On.

The new website launched in December and we have been fine-tuning one or two technical quirks.  Our aim for remodelling the site was two-fold. The older website was technically out of date, and we wanted to bring in new features and create areas where Event organizers can buy affordable advertising or encourage local businesses to sponsor their ads. Thanks to my ’techny’ husband Chris for the many hours of dedication he spent pulling it all together. We hope you like it!

The secret to navigating the site is: “GOTO”, as you enter each section (tabs along the top), hit GOTO List or Directory to see details. 

What’s On’s comprehensive Event List offers many many events at any one time.  Click on the calendar to see events on that day, or hit View by Month to see everything that particular month. To narrow your search – select Theatre, or Kids, in the drop-down box on the right. Or use key word search to find a “fair”, “festival” or events in “orangeville”.

Everyone in Ontario can enjoy FREE publlicity for their events…. simply Submit An Event. We particularly support the Arts, and non-profit groups.
