The following is a guest post contributed by Tania from The Quack Attack.
When Miss 604 (one of this city’s best sources for all things Vancouver) put out the call for contributions to her Blogathan 2009 cause, I leapt at the opportunity to contribute what little I could. August 8th marks my one-year anniversary living in Vancouver. To commemorate the occasion, I could not think of a better place to do it than on the Web site (Miss604.com), which has been a helpful part in my deciding to come here.
I was born and raised in the Nation’s Capital – Ottawa, ON. I had never lived anywhere else, nor had I hardly left the city.

Another cause with a dedicated blogger… for their cause is Liberation BC.
Liberation BC is a Vancouver-based animal rights organization dedicated to the liberation of animals through education outreach and advocacy. We stand by our actions and engage in our activism in our own names with our faces showing. We promote a vegan lifestyle and an end to all exploitation of animals.
Glenn has joined us at Workspace and he’s been blogging up a storm all day on the Liberation BC blog.

Over the last few months I have formed a wonderful relationship with the Developmental Disabilities Association. They are currently doing Blogathon for none other than the DDA.
Victor and his team are dedicated to the 24-hour campaign and they even supplied dinner for everyone tonight, having arranged a deal with Steamworks. You can follow them on Twitter as well, @DDA604.

In 2006 I followed two blogs that were doing something called “Blogathon”. One was Vancouver Canucks Op Ed by my friend and podcast co-host, Alanah and the other was The Love Blog by Barbara Doduk. Every year since, Barbara has participated in Blogathon and for that, she should be commended.
This year she is supporting RAPS, the Richmond Animal Protection Society and is profiling a special animal in each post. Head over to her blog to check out her posts and support the cause of this inspirational Blogathon veteran.
