❄️ We’re Now Accepting Sponsorship Applications for Winter 2026-2027! 🎉 Are you a business looking to reach millions of Canadians while supporting independent weather forecasting? We’d love to hear from you! 📌 Apply by October 31: instantweatherinc.com/sponso… As we prepare for another busy winter season, we’re looking for businesses interested in supporting our independent Canadian weather coverage! At Instant Weather, we strongly believe that critical weather information should be freely accessible to everyone, without being locked behind a paywall. However, delivering reliable forecasts, storm updates and live severe weather coverage comes with significant costs. Sponsorships help us cover those expenses while allowing us to continue providing this important information for free! In return, our sponsors have the opportunity to reach millions of Canadians through our forecasts and weather coverage. Last winter alone, our sponsored posts generated over 38.1 MILLION social media views and reach, along with more than 6.3 MILLION website views! Some individual sponsored forecasts reached nearly 2 million people, providing incredible exposure for the businesses supporting our coverage. Applied last year? We’d love to hear from you again! We received more interest than we could respond to last year. If you’re still interested, please reapply so we have your latest details. Thank you for your patience! Applications close October 31, and we’ll be reaching out to selected applicants in November. Due to the expected volume of applications, unfortunately, not everyone will receive a response. We want to ensure that our sponsorships are a good fit for both our community and the businesses we partner with, so we’ll be focusing on opportunities where we believe we can deliver the best results.
