Seven Wonders of Canada

What are your Seven Wonders of Canada? If you have travelled across Canada there are many unique locations worthy of being among the top seven. Well now, you can make your vote count. The CBC has compiled a list of the top 50 and you can vote to help narrow it down for the final judging.
There were 5 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

After checking out all the nominees, here is my pick for the final seven:
Bay of Fundy -New Brunswick / Nova Scotia
Confederation Bridge - Prince Edward Island / New Brunswick
The Canoe - Ontario
Drumheller - Alberta
Cathedral Grove - British Columbia
Northern Lights - Northern Canada
Dawson City - Yukon

I know that I haven't actually seen any of these in person except for a Canoe but I have a fairly strong geography/history background and based on my opinion these fit the criteria the best. I think my new life goal will be to try and visit all 50.

Now go vote!! http://www.cbc.ca/sevenwonders/index.html
