Up Here has long had a group page on Facebook, the social networking site. While it attracted (at last count) 569 members, it often quickly fell from people's radar, buried under the constant updates of friends. Its biggest flaw was that you had to remember to check on it rather than it screaming for your attention. Well, we've finally gone one better by creating a Facebook fan page for Up Here. Now, when we post something like, say, a link to a new feature Up Here story or a juicy bit of Northern news, it'll show up in your live feed. If you're a fan, that is.

At the moment there's a discussion we've launched on the ongoing debate about the fate of the barrenland caribou in the NWT. Let us and other Up Here fans know what you think by posting a comment.
