www.gaspelink.com began in 1997 as the combination of three Gaspesian sites, Gaspesians Keeping in Touch, Ron's Gaspe Page, and Sunny Bank, Our Ancestral Home. Our objective was to provide visitors with links to all the information available on the Web concerning our homeland. It grew to become Gaspe's foremost English web site, with over 20 megabytes of pictures and information about about Gaspe.
Late in the year 2001, after Annetta moved on to university, Ron and Andy assumed the responsibility of maintaining GaspeLink. In the fall of 2002 we began translating the site to French to increase our client base, and we changed the name to GoGaspe.com. Innovative, and very popular sections like the Featured Photo, Message Boards, News Briefs, Weather information, and a Genealogy section were added.
With the assistance of Daniel Arsenault in 2005, we were able to add several dynamic sections to our site, allowing our viewers to add their own content. The most popular is the "Gaspesians Online" section, which offers readers their own home page on the web, complete with photo. We have far surpassed our original dream of 100 visitors per day. GoGaspe.com has become Gaspe's leading web site, with the most complete coverage of Gaspe available on the web.
Note: GoGaspe.com currently receives over 600 distinct visitors per day.
