Equine Canada has embarked on new ways of providing timely communications to horse enthusiasts, both in Canada and abroad.
Using social networking websites Facebook and Twitter, 'friends' and 'followers' of Equine Canada can keep up to date on Canadian equine sport, recreation, health advisories, breeds and industry developments, special events and more.
On September 1, 2009, Equine Canada will also begin an interactive web series which will be broadcast in both official languages and be available for viewing on the Equine Canada website. The web series will be comprised of interactive 'webisodes' which are intended to give Canadian horse enthusiasts an opportunity to better understand the dynamics of Equine Canada and its related activities and will be hosted by Equine Canada CEO Akaash Maharaj. Viewers will be encouraged to suggest topics they wish to be discussed in future broadcasts.
Another interactive communication vehicle that Equine Canada will be embarking on is a monthly blog written by Akaash Maharaj. The blog will be featured on the Equine Canada website and address current equine industry issues and events and will offer readers an opportunity to provide their perspective in the form of comments on the blog page.
