The website gives an unprecedented look at the neighborhood and features a multimedia library of information.   In late 2005, a community news section was added to allow reporters to document local events not covered by the mainstream media. The website produces music videos, public service announcements, and broadcasts local political debates and town halls. In addition to the production of original content, the website also publishes submissions from residents.   In 2012, he was among the first 60 Canadians to receive the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal at the inaugural presentation ceremony at Rideau Hall to honor significant contributions and achievements to the country. Citizenship and Immigration Canada featured Nguyen on the list of Noteworthy Canadians of Asian Origin to highlight valuable contributions made by Canadians of Asian heritage.
