Hiya! I'm from Vancouver and even though i didn't do fs there (i did sd/sb/ppm stuff) i was part of some resource groups where fs girls were exchanging tips so here's what I picked up:
- check out Leolist like @MassageHandsLondon said if you're in Vancouver, it's your best bet for that city
- Tryst is big for indie workers there (mostly Vancouver and Toronto)
- twitter scene is strong for indie workers. if you can, make a client-facing account on twitter and tag your posts as #date(city where you're working). social media upkeep is annoying but it can help you guide traffic to your ads/website
- review boards: [off topic content removed] i know there's PERB for Vancouver/BC/the Western provinces and TERB for Toronto/Ontario cities. once you've made an account, you can advertise on the site itself, and i'd recommend to engage with users there to build your reputation.
hopefully some of this helps!!
