The Wynonna Earp fanbase is hardcore. Did you hear about how they took out a billboard in Time’s Square to fight for their show? At the time, the series had been renewed but there was no funding in place to being production. The fans wanted people to know how much they cared, that they were waiting, that the money would not be wasted. And, well, it worked. Duana could not stop talking about it, about this level of engagement and … even just the logistics. Imagine how much money that would have cost. And whatever had to happen to make it happen. I wouldn’t have known who to call to get a billboard up in Time’s Square, let alone raise the cash for it!
This week is the second annual Earper Homestead Convention in Toronto, an event celebrating “Canadian identity and the value of Canadian content in genre television”. They’ve also organised a 5K Fun Run in support of Covenant House and collecting donations for at-risk youth. Our national treasure, Jann Arden, has come through with a generous donation and if you are able, please visit the fundraising page for more information.
