COMMENT I COVER VOTE

I want to tell you how much I enjoy your magazine. I started reading it about a year ago when my Grade 9 class competed in the Canadian Geographic Challenge. I didn’t win the contest, but it made me realize how much more I wanted to learn.

Kelly Ruigrok Dunnville, Ont. Can Geo Talks hosted the Great Canadian National Bird Debate at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa on Sept. 19 to help determine Canada’s national bird (see page 34). Here’s a selection of comments shared on social media using #Canadabird.

#Snowyowl for #Canadabird ... lots of Inuit legends about this majestic, intelligent bird. @Mayormadeleine [Madeleine Redfern, mayor of Iqaluit]

Gray jay all the way! @Elizabethmay [leader, Green Party of Canada] And thanks to @Cangeo for sparking a great debate and important conversation about #Canadabird.

@cathmckenna [Minister of Environment and Climate Change]

We’re #Teamloon! Canoeing wouldn’t be the same without their calls. #Canadabird @Cdnencyclopedia
