NEW YORK Examiner.com, which serves 109 markets in the U.S. as an insider source for local content ranging from breaking news to arts & entertainment to sports, has announced it is expanding to Canada, via the launch of Examiner.com Canada.

The site, which officially launches on Oct. 29, will provide localized content on Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver, and will also offer national content for residents not living in one of its five initial markets. The move marks Examiner.com’s first international expansion.

“Examiner.com Canada will provide Canadians with an unparalleled resource for local information, enabling them to further engage in their communities,” said Examiner.com CEO Rick Blair. “What’s more, Examiner.com Canada will provide a showcase for Canadian writers and experts, allowing them to build their audience and provide valuable insights to Examiner readers across the country.”

Examiner.com boasts more than 18,500 “Examiners” writing for its target cities in the United States. Next year, it plans to launch in the United Kingdom and other countries. Go here to access to all its editions.
