www.outerspaceinstitute.ca

CanSpace has been a great platform for us, enabling multiple ways to interact with and update our website, giving us great hosting options, and having an incredibly responsive team who help us to find solutions for our web hosting needs.

I am an associate professor at the University of British Columbia, a Canada Research Chair in Planetary Astronomy, and the co-director of the Outer Space Institute. The cosmos holds many wonders and puzzles that drive my curiosity and passion for space exploration, something I enjoy sharing with others. I am also an aviator, and am privileged to be able to experience British Columbia from the air. I live in the Greater Vancouver area and work at UBC, which sits on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Musqueam First Nation.

The Outer Space Institute (OSI) is a network of world-leading space experts united by their commitment to highly innovative, transdisciplinary research that addresses grand challenges facing the continued use and exploration of space. Comprised of physical scientists, social scientists, lawyers, engineers, industry leaders, and policy makers, the OSI is able to identify challenges, opportunities, and solutions that have been overlooked by other groups.

CanSpace is a great platform for your website and their live chat has come in handy when you are in a pinch. They are also quick to respond and resolve any problem.

I spent a good amount of time working in both Canadian and international education systems, both public and private. As I am always in the pursuit of making a difference in children’s lives and providing meaningful education, I decided to follow my passion and embark on a new adventure by launching and creating SolAcademics in 2020.

Artist and Designer, Lee James Abbott

CanSpace has been a game-changer for my website. Having a reliable hosting service ensures my portfolio is always live which is crucial when you’re trying to impress potential clients with your latest work.

Born in London, UK, and moved to Vancouver 8 years ago to get out of the big city to see what nature looks like. Turns out nature is in fact beautiful and so I decided to stay and put further roots down by becoming President of Dundarave Print Workshop, Western Canada’s oldest-running printmaking studio.

I spent my early years working in advertising agencies but moved to Canada just in time with some soul intact. I was awarded my first artist grant from the arts organization Canada Council in 2021 creating my first artist residency on Vancouver Island which launched me into taking my art practice more seriously. Another favourite experience has to be designing the movie poster for a short film funded by 20th Century Fox, celebrating the 40th anniversary of my favourite horror film, Ridley Scott’s “Alien”. You can view my work on my website.

CanSpace […] status as a Canadian hosting provider […] holds strategic significance for our organization. We have experienced a commendable level of service characterized by exceptional reliability and, notably, a complete absence of security issues.

I’m based in the picturesque town of Bromont, Québec. My journey in the world of semiconductor technology began during my doctoral studies at Harvard University, where I pioneered a new piezoelectric actuator driver IC architecture. This innovation laid the foundation for the establishment of Boréas in 2017, and since then, I’ve been deeply committed to leading our team in transforming the landscape of haptic technology.

Writer and Editor, Peter Midgley

The Professional package gives me ample disk space and allows me to manage multiple domains and email accounts. I have all the tools I need to build an attractive website and the support, whenever I’ve needed it, has been excellent.

I’m an accident of history, the result of highly improbable fusion of gametes. I had no input into either the timing (sometime in Era of the Anthropocene) or a place (Namibia) for this miracle to occur, but I am very happy with the result. A subsequent series of dubious choices and a few lucky breaks means I am now a writer and editor living in Edmonton, Canada.

I was barely walking when an acquaintance of my mother’s declared: that boy has potlood-ore (pencil ears), that is to say, ears big and wide enough to act as a quill stand. That settled it: I knew then that I would one day work with words. The equipment was built into me. Language and how we can use it to impart meaning and intent, or wield power through it, remains endlessly fascinating. Every time I write or edit, I am aware that I am helping to shape how we see the world – what could be better than that?

Marketing information in the design industry has moved from being very paper based to being digital. A stable platform and good customer support is essential. CanSpace has always provided this to us which is why we are still customers after 10 years.

We are Lighting Designers and Producers and founded Lightmaker Studio in Toronto in 2014. Michael is an Industrial Designer, and our vision was to combine craft technique with modern lighting design. The Studio relocated to Kingston, Ontario in 2022.

At the Kingston production studio, each lighting piece we make is unique and made-by-hand.

After both having had careers in the technology business, we decided to return to our roots which is design. It is very satisfying to produce a uniquely Canadian product that is made to last.

Owners, Whisky Jack Cache
www.whiskyjackcache.ca

CanSpace has been a great service for us over the years. Their basic hosting package […] makes having a website affordable even for a tiny business. We can curate our own web presence to interact with our customers and avoid social media altogether.

Whisky Jack Cache is an organic wood-fired sourdough bread bakery located in an artsy gold mining town in the Cariboo Mountains of central BC. We are a couple-run business with no employees, and we fire up our brick oven every two weeks to provide quality bread to loyal customers and local retail outlets. We love to paddle and ski, and lay down spacey grooves with our dance band, the Interstellar Jays. Mostly, we prefer to live a reclusive life out of town.

Bread, made right, with ample portions of whole grain and plenty of wild yeast and bacteria, is very healthy. Such bread is remarkably hard to find in our age, so we would like people to know that it can exist, it does exist, and if it existed more commonly we would all be better off.

Co-Founder and Vocal Coach, Spiderlodge
www.spiderlodge.ca

Whenever I’ve had a question or concern regarding some aspect of our site, I’ve been pleased with the prompt and friendly response I get from the CanSpace support team, who are available 24/7.

At Spiderlodge, we help others learn to play a variety of instruments, and have fun in the process so they enjoy making music for life! We believe in the power of music to provide a ‘flow’ experience which is not only cathartic but also allows for self-expression and creativity through both performance and songwriting, though neither of these pursuits are required to play and sing songs you love, on your own or with other musicians.

My partner Rick Genge is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/engineer/producer and I am a singer/songwriter and vocal coach. We’re celebrating our 20th year of serving our clients in 2025, having taught hundreds of students of all ages over the years, and producing fifteen albums so far, some of which are our own original music compilations, available on iTunes and Spotify as well as other streaming platforms. I also have a book available on Amazon for adults who enjoy singing but fear it’s too late to improve. It’s never too late to learn to play and sing!

Interior Designer, Roxann Interior Design

I read reviews upon reviews, and settled on CanSpace because of the positive and great reviews. The tech support group [is] so quick, that I could leave my desk after pressing ‘send‘ on a question and by the time I get back from pouring my coffee, the answer is there!

I am an Interior Designer based out of Toronto, with east coast roots. I couldn’t find an Interior Design program in Nova Scotia at that time, so I knew I had to move to study. As a ‘mature’ student, I decided on a private college in Toronto offering a fast track option where you didn’t have to take summers off. I was more interested in getting the schooling out of the way, excited to start my career. I thought I would move back to Halifax after the 3 years, but I loved being in the big city so decided to stay. 2024 will mark my 20th year in Toronto!

Roxann Interior Design is an interiors studio driven by form, function, aesthetic harmony and client adaptation. We find beauty in incorporating natural materials, purpose in visual economy, and authenticity in imperfection. Along with a strong understanding and respect for collaboration, our edited approach strives to create spaces that, above all, communicate a human experience.

Writer, Audrey Whitson Writer
www.audreywhitson.com

Having a website allows me to market my books, blogs and writing events. It also adds credibility to my work and who I am as an author and allows people to get to know me before approaching me on social media or in person.

I grew up near Busby, Alberta on a farm. We were a book-loving family; parents and children read a lot. Stories were important. Almost as soon as I learned how to use a pencil, I started to write stories. Mrs. Wood, my grade 3 and 4 teacher, kept a special notebook in her classroom for the best stories. And I remember the thrill I had when I got to copy my first story into her book. I knew I wanted to be a writer.

I’m the author of four books: Teaching Places (a memoir about the land), The Glorious Mysteries and Other Stories (short fiction), The Death of Annie the Water Witcher by Lightning (a novel) and mostly recently a chapbook short story called The Bachelors and Widows Christmas Party. I’ve also published poetry and essays and am working on my first play. Parallel to my writing career, I have worked as a public policy advisor, project coordinator, editor, independent theologian, social worker, secretary, camp counsellor, and A&W carhop.

Psychotherapist, Frontier Therapy
www.frontiertherapy.ca

CanSpace has offered me a platform to connect with my audience. I've been thrilled with my experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for hosting services.

I am a psychotherapist (qualifying) who offers therapy virtually. I got an interest in psychotherapy when I saw the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic was having on people, and it really challenged me to consider what I was doing as a career, and the kind of impact I wanted to have on people’s lives. I actually do psychotherapy part time, and work full time in the nuclear industry. I do live in Kincardine, Ontario, and outside of therapy, enjoy basketball, coaching my kid’s activities, and spending time with my family.

My website is our method of connecting with potential clients, and for them to get a first opportunity to learn a bit more about the therapists at Frontier Therapy. It really is the jumping off point to start dialogue and form meaningful support relationships. It’s our opportunity to make that good first impression. Frontier Therapy’s value is to support our clients through the formation of collaborative and supportive relationships, that foster meaningful change in line with client goals. We do this virtually which provides therapy from whatever location is comfortable for the client.
