The ''Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia'' is a two volume encyclopedia of Canadian pop music, available in hardcover and online, detailing Canadian music from 1949 onwards.〔 ==History== The ''Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia'' was started by Jaimie Vernon on July 1, 1998, as an online service of the ''Toronto Sun'' newspaper website CANOE.〔CANOE.ca, ()〕 Vernon had been advised by music journalist John Sakamoto that the ''Toronto Sun'' had licensed a music encyclopedia, but that the company was not satisfied with it. They hired Vernon to write a new online edition in 1998.〔Lenny Stoute, (Jaimie Vernon and The Canadian Pop Music Encylopedia ). Cashbox, August 12, 2011.
