We have done it in the U.S. and New Zealand and now, it is time for Canada.

Here are the official “How Social is Your DMO? – Canadian Province/Territory Edition, Q1 2012” rankings.  From what we know, this is the first time anyone has evaluated and ranked all 13 provinces/territories in terms of their web and social media prowess.

To view the rankings, visit this link – “How Social Is Your Canadian DMO?”

Congrats to the top 5 (in order): 1) Alberta; 2) British Columbia; 3) Nova Scotia; 4) Newfoundland/Labrador and 5) Ontario.

In the initial rankings, Alberta just edged British Columbia by two points to claim the number one spot in our weighted ranking scale. 

A few items of note:

-       Quebec has quite a reach when it comes to links back to the official tourism web site - which represents significant online sharing.

-       Alberta was the leader in Facebook. They were also locked up with British Columbia for the number one spot in Twitter.

-       Ontario has the best Flickr presence.

-       Ontario and New Brunswick lead the way in geolocation.

-       Alberta was the leader in YouTube.

-       Saskatchewan had the biggest impact in the area of blogging.
