Canada’s Seven Wonders

The Seven Wonders of Canada:

Niagara Falls, Halifax’s Pier 21 and the Rockies have always been considered significant Canadian landmarks, but they now can be counted as true Canadian “wonders.”

After 20,000 nominations and more than one million votes cast via phone and internet, the three sites made the list for CBC’s Seven Wonders of Canada campaign, with the igloo, the canoe, old Quebec City and Prairie Skies rounding out the Top 7.

I agree whole-heartedly about the Rockies, the prairie skies, and old Quebec City. I’ve never seen Niagara Falls or Pier 21.

But the canoe? Humph.

    The country was explored [by Europeans] by canoe though.

    Saskboy–true, but it just doesn’t seem like that big of a deal in this context (they also used horses, and they’re not on the list!). I guess I’m more of a fan of natural wonders.

    I’m from Thunder Bay, the city that houses the Sleeping Giant. And I am really upset about this! It beat the ROCKIES by almost 100,000 votes! How is it not a Canadian Wonder?!

  5. Amy says:

    I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard of the Sleeping Giant. I need to get out more.
