Edmonton, the "Festival City", is being promoted in a Metro near you. The caption on the poster reads (translated from French) "White nights in the Festival City", refering to our long summer days where the sun sets at 11pm and rises at 5am. The Canadian government is back at promoting our wonderful country to the French tourist with billboard advertising promoting the value of a Canadian holiday experience. The first advertisement that I came across in this blitzkrieg of marketing was actually the poster in the photograph above depicting my home city of Edmonton, Alberta. Imagine my surprise while walking through Gare Saint-Lazaire in the heart of Paris and coming face to face with a picture where I can actually see the office building I used to work in last summer.
So here are your tax dollars hard at work promoting Canada as a grand place to visit. I think I might have to visit!
In Canada, we all have a little cowboy in us.
Water so clean you can see the sky by looking up or down.
