Wreck Beach Video Clip and Chance to Comment

Please spread the Word Widely to Help Protect Wreck!

Thanks!

Hi, All, AS OF MAY 30 just to let you know the video shot of Wreck  
Beach is now available online and that CBC is soliciting passionate  
comments about the beach as well as feedback on the clip.  Please  
take the time to leave a comment (See link below).  Once you get to  
the clip, on the same page, on the right hand side right below the  
National Logo, is a black bar.  In the bar, click on “YOUR TURN,” and  
it will take you to “WRITE to US!”  Scroll down to “I have a  
comment,” and give them feedback while telling them why you love  
Wreck Beach!



Please understand the protection such acknowledgement can give our  
beach, the higher up on that list of 52 we can go.  We have been  
fighting for almost 44 years to keep Wreck undeveloped and unpaved.   
This kind of recognition will make it far harder for authorities to  
build  above and upon this special place on the planet. When you  
write your tribute, please keep in mind the following criteria. The  
final list of seven is not only about the popular vote, but also  
about your passion for your wonder and about how it fits  with the  
original criteria of:



.. They are searching for places which fulfill the following criteria:



1.      Essential 'Canadian-ness' - historically significant,  
character filled, valued

2.      Originality/uniqueness of the pitch and place

3.      Spectacular physical site or amazing human creation

4.      Ability to inspire

5.      Range within the final seven - diversity of location, type of  
wonder



  Apparently this clip aired May 25, but earlier than anticipated so  
it is now up on the web as per below. Audio very faint but you can  
enlarge it full screen.  Bruce tells us that you can also leave  
comments, so everyone, please, please leave those comments that  
reflect your  passion for the beach and let it shine through after  
you have viewed the clip.  The deadline for comments re the clip and  
Wreck, plus your chance to vote  is STILL May 31 even though the  
website was offline for almost six days.  They were experiencing web  
difficulties so if they were down.  If you could just keep trying, we  
would so appreciate it! Please spread the word to everyone on your e- 
list and have them do the same.



Cheers and bravo to our beach!

Here's the specific address where the piece is archived

Greetings,

If you didn't see the Wreck Beach piece on CBC's National Tuesday,  
May 29,  you can find it and a few of the wonderful comments at the  
website

It's fantastic, and tasteful. Our  goal, is to beat the other two  
beaches and crack the Top 30. So, lets get out the vote, extended to  
May 31st!

Cheers,

Bruce , James, and Judy
