July 3-6, 2008 GoMedia Canada Marketplace 2008 — the place where stories are born. Save the date! (July 3-6, 2008) Once upon a time, there was a place called Canada. Our Canada. Not a cold lonely land of vast landscapes, but one filled with colour and sounds and scents and scenes of a lifetime. Canada is about stories. Your story, my story, the amazing, never-thought-it'd-happen-to-me stories. Think... …dancing ‘til dawn in the cobblestone streets with revellers celebrating Quebec City's 400th birthday. ...harvesting frozen ice wine grapes with a vintner at midnight after the first frost on Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula. ...the thrill of an elk bugling safari in the foothills of the Alberta Rockies. We've got 9,984,670 sq km and 32,623,490 stories, give or take a few. Let's get the word out today! Join us, the Canadian Tourism Commission at our 2008 GoMedia Canada Marketplace. This is our not-to-be-missed yearly event where Canadian travel organizations get their chance to tell media one on one about Canada. Media take away the best new Canadian travel stories. Everyone leaves with a great time under their belt and a journal filled with new contacts. Plus, who wouldn't love to spend a few days in stylish, historic Québec City, the cradle of French culture in Canada?
