About the Crosswords:

If you solve crosswords you know how rare it is to find a clue or answer relating to Canada. Most crosswords published in Canada are made by Americans. They’re great, but they don’t reflect life here in Canada.  

ClassiCanadian Crosswords are different. They contain all the ingredients of well-crafted American puzzles – clever themes, humour and tricky wordplay – but there’s an added dash of “maple flavour” that gives them a touch of Canadian class.

ClassiCanadian Crosswords are Grade A (Eh?) food for the brain. And best of all, they let you “think Canadian!”
