The CBC has started a public nomination for "The Seven Wonders of Canada", where you can nominate and vote for any location in Canada that you believe is worth the honour. The winners will be featured on The National and Sounds Like Canada.You have to get your nominations in by May 4th, and voting will commence on May 7th. There will also be a panel of judges to weigh in the nominations.
The criteria for evaluation includes:
- Essential 'Canadian-ness' - historically significant, character filled, valued
- Originality/uniqueness of the pitch and place
- Spectacular physical site or amazing human creation
- Ability to inspire
- Range within the final seven - diversity of location, type of wonder

That leaves it pretty wide open, with man-made and natural locations being eligible. My nomination was for Vancouver Island's 'West Coast Trail', which I believe is one of the most interesting places on the planet.
