Sometimes when you’re looking for something and can’t find it you have to create the very thing that you want. I recently asked if there was a list of community managers in Toronto.

I asked this after coming across three pieces of information:

1. Last week I asked on Twitter who would be considered Toronto’s (the city I presently live in) community manager and was surprised that there were only a few people mentioned.
2. Over the weekend I read a section in Amber Mac’s book Power Friending (not an affiliate link!) on how to be a community manager.
3. Jeremiah Owyang defines a community manager as a person within a company, or someone who works for a brand, who works within these 4 (at least) pillars:

1. community advocacy
2. brand ambassadorship
3. online communication
4. customer service and improvement

So, here is a list of community managers in the Toronto area (not including myself):

1. Erin Bury
2. Sheldon Levine
3. Melissa Smich
4. Stuart Thursby
5. Nafi Dhanani
6. Robb M.
7. Eric Floresca
8. Crystal Gibson
9. Dennis Logan
10. The Creative Type
11. Noorin Ladhani
12. Katharine Foster
13. Andrew F. Stewart
14. Mary Pretotto
15. Naomi Elise
16. Julie Tyios
17. Meghan Warby
18. Gary Hilson
19. Trina Boos
20. Melissa Feeney
21. Parth Shukla
22. Lindsey McInerney
23. Hardeep Gosal
24. Colin Smillie
25. Jared Golberg
26. Aerin Guy
27. Soniya Monga

Obviously, this is an incomplete list.  However, I hope that it is of use to you.  If you think anyone should be included, or even excluded from this list, please feel free to comment below.
