The property received some 22,440 unique visitors, giving it a 16,000 visitor lead over nearest rival Microsoft Sites.
Yahoo Sites came third in the January rankings, attracting 16,481 unique visitors, while Facebook came fourth with 15,354 visitors.

Brent Bernie, president of comScore Media Metrix, commented: "January isÂ…an active time of year for visiting government entities both on the provincial and federal level, which provides Canadians with the necessary information and tools for preparing for a busy RRSP and tax season.
"Finally, the extreme cold weather and record breaking snow levels in Canada have driven us to travel entities on the Web in hopes of finding warmer destinations."
