5 posts here in the last year, and they're all from Ontario to boot. Eastern Canada, pfeh! 
As some folks outside the region may know, we've been busy doing our best to rebuild performance rally in the Maritimes after a long quiet period. We've had an active annual Rally Cross series (now into its 10th year with 8-10 well attended events per season) and in 2009 we held our first RallySprint, the first performance rally event since the last Highlands Rally in 1993. Sure it was only two cars, but we had it! We've continued to grow things since growing the local competitive cars from 2 to 8 with more being built/bought and with 3 events per year ever since and the stage KMs growing every season. Feels great to have rally coming back to roaring life!
For those interested have a look at our (newly re-done) informational site covering all of our events at http://www.rallyeast.ca
For 2013 we again have 3 events on the calendar with a Rally Sprint (~21km) in July, a Single Road event (~50km) in October and our big event the Ledwidge Lookoff Rally in August which we're aiming to have over 100 stage KM! You can find information on last year's Ledwidge Lookoff Rally on the event website at http://www.lookoffrally.com. Information on the 2013 event will be added in the spring.
We're looking forward to more of our local competitors heading west to compete in other events (Expect to see at least a couple at the Baie) and hopefully we'll see some of the Central (Ahem) Canada folks coming East to play! We have some great roads and hospitality to offer!
