[FCN Announcements] Celebrate Wreck Beach! Seven Wonders of Canada

[public at lists.fcn.ca]

Do you have a favourite place in Canada? Do you have a treasured spot  
our viewers should see?

The National and Sounds Like Canada are searching for the Seven  
Wonders of Canada and we need your help.

We want you to nominate what you consider to be the most wonderful  
place and tell us why it's so special.

Maybe it has a natural beauty. Perhaps it's because of the wildlife.  
It could be the people who live there. It's up to you. In short, tell  
us why your special place should be one of the 'Wonders of Canada.'

This is an ideal opportunity to sing the praises of Wreck Beach. With  
recent negative local press and a some negative attitudes toward  
Wreck by some conservative politicians in the GVRD we wage an ongoing  
struggle to maintain our precious beach in a favorable light. Every  
bit of good publicity secures good thoughts for Wreck in the public  
consciousness.

Please visit one of the links below for CBC radio or Television (or  
both) and let them know why Wreck Beach deserves to be one of the  
Seven Wonders of Canada. When the call for entries was televised on  
the National they specifically asked for "passion."

Your enthusiasm here for Wreck Beach will greatly assist the Wreck  
Beach Preservation Society when we need to go to bat for the beach.  
Wreck Beach is one of the wonders of Canada. I think on many counts  
we stand a great chance of being included in the finalists. Certainly  
every broadcaster recognizes the words "nude beach" or "clothing  
optional beach" will cause listeners to perk up their ears. Please  
take a minute or two to let the CBC know how important, amazing,  
beautiful, inspiring... hey I don't want to put words in your mouth,  
you say it!
