The first Canadian Blog Awards were put together by a blogger - Robert of My Blahg. He deserves a great deal of credit for all the hard work he put into it.

I suppose in time these kinds of awards will be taken over by a company or a none blogging consortium. It means more coming from your peers, and first efforts are always special.
