Welcome to Skeptic North!

Welcome and/et Bienvenue to Skeptic North!

Skeptic North is the first Canada-wide blog for skeptics. There are currently many localized, and regional groups that have been doing absolute yeoman's work for several years, but there has been no blog with a truly nation-spanning scope and reach.

This is where we come in.

We've cobbled together a rag-tag team of skeptic misfits from across the country to provide you with a one-stop shopping destination for all things Canadian-skeptic related. We're not limited to just Canadian issues, but if it's a skeptical concern in Canada, we'll be covering it.

We've got a great lineup of writers so far, comprised of your favorite Canadian skeptical activists and bloggers! Within the ranks of our team, you'll find Desiree (of Skeptically Speaking), Scott (of Science-Based Pharmacy), Kimberly Hebert, Northern Skeptic, as well as active members of Ottawa Skeptics, Edmonton Skeptics, The Centre for Inquiry Canada, and a whole slew of other writers, most of which you're probably already reading anyway! Oh, and you'll also encounter me, Steve (a.k.a. Some Canadian Skeptic)! I don't want to give away all of our team members just yet, so this is just a teaser-list.
We're also going to have an occasional guest-blogger feature from time to time, featuring some other well-known Canadian skeptics, academics, and writers.

If you would like to get involved in this project as a regular contributor or guest blogger, feel free to email me at skepticnorth[at]gmail[com], and I'll fill you in.

The look of this blog is, as of today (Sept 6, 2009), not final, so expect some changes. Thanks for your patience and understanding with the gut-wrenching pains of starting a new site..these things take time! By Oct 1st, we're going to be up and running at full-steam, so don't forget to bookmark this page, and pass it around.

Finally! A group of Canadian Skeptics getting organized!
