The 28 New Wonders of the World

Jul 22 2009

The Bay of Fundy has made it to the final 28 candidates in the search for the “New” Seven Wonders of the World. With its 50 foot tides, impressive erosion formations, and abundance of fossils it remains in the list as Canada’s only remaining entrant in the contest.

Terri McColloch, the manager of the Bay of Fundy Tourism Board, said she’s excited about the international distinction. “It’s kind of like being in the Olympics or on the podium or close to the podium,” McColloch said.

… or it’s kind of like making the Olympic team as a spare, or sitting in the stands watching, or watching it live on TV, or catching it later on PVR, or listening to your friends talk about it around the water cooler the next day, or …

Seriously, it’s an impressive thing to witness the tides come and go down there. When it’s out, walking on the sea floor is always a treat. Make sure you go to the new7wonders.com website and vote. I didn’t because the site requires you to register on the site and give them a bunch of personal information. But if I did vote, you can bet Fundy would have been on the list!
