Cobbling this together with help from members of National Capital FreeNet (NCF) of Ottawa-Gatineau, Canada:

1. Avonlea, PEI - the Anne novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery and their adaptations for other media
2. Mariposa, from "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town", by Stephen Leacock. Described as "somewhere near the end of a rail line that goes towards Hudson's Bay".
3. Crocus, Saskatchewan (Jake and the Kid and According to Jake and the Kid, WO Mitchell)
4. Manawaka, Manitoba (various books by Margaret Lawrence)
5. Shelby, Alberta (Roses Are Difficult Here, WO Mitchell)
6. Mercy, SK from _Little Mosque on the Prairie_
7. Dog River, SK from _Corner Gas_
8. Algonquin Bay, ON from _Cardinal_ (the TV series and, I'm led to understand, the detective novels that inspired it)
9. Moosejaw Heights, SK from the superhero cartoon series _Atomic Betty_
10. Timberton, BC - hometown of the DC Comics heroine Sparx, and her family, the "Special" Forces
11. Lynx River, NT from _North of 60_

13. Baker City, ON from Eric Desmarais' "Elizabeth" novels
14. Seguin Sound, ON (The Year of the Rabbit, FT Lyon)
15. Three Pines, QC (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny)
16. Danger Bay, BC (from the TV series of the same name)
17. Blossom, AB (from the radio series _Dead Dog Cafe_ by Thomas King)
18. Deptford, ON (various books by Robertson Davies)
19. Midian / Shere Neck, AB, from Clive Barker's Cabal.
20. Letterkenny, ON - from the sitcom of the same name

If I keep bouncing back and forth between this entry and the thread on NCF, I could end up confused...
