Hi - Could you please forward this to Michael Yessis? Thanks!

Hi Michael -
Since you wrote about the 7 Wonders of Canada, I thought you might be a good person to help get the word out that there are currently 8 Canadian nominees in the New7Wonders of Nature campaign ... but it seems like there are not many Canadians who have heard the good news! Since Canadians were hugely active in the first New7Wonders campaign, I’m sure that they will want to get involved again - especially with some of their own natural treasures in the running.
Right now, the top Canadian nominee, Niagara Falls, is ranked number 17, and then there is a huge gap before you reach Lake Louise at rank 101. Banff is # 110, Dinosaur Provincial Park is # 119, Lake Superior is # 136, the Bay of Fundy is # 158, Rocher Perce is # 227 and Gros Morne Nat’l Park is # 252 ... this is of 268 nominees!

The New7Wonders fever has already risen again in many parts of Asia and Latin America, but has not yet caught on in Canada - could you help change that? What we need are a) Official Supporting Committees to be formed for all of the nominees except Gros Morne - so we have someone to deal with on behalf of the natural site, to let us use photos, to organize the World Tour visit if it makes it into the top 21 Finalists, and b) people to find out and VOTE!
We’re trying hard to get the word out, also to the educational community - since kids were a big part of the first campaign and New7Wonders is a terrific way to broaden kids’ horizons and make the future a more open, harmonious place. We have lots of tools for teachers at http://www.new7wonders.com/kids&schools, and we’ll post all schoolwork, artwork and other neat things that kids and teachers send us.

Are you on the New7Wonders mailing list for press releases? Would you like to be?

Thanks very much for any help you can give to the Canadian New7Wonders nominees!

Take care -
Tia
