Help get Burlington, ON, Canada on the Canadian Monopoly board game
Hasbro Canada has issued a news release to announce that they are launching a new Canadian edition of the Monopoly board game. Instead of the traditional properties such as Illinois Avenue and Pacific Place, Monopoly will reprint the new edition with Canadian city names. Sixty-five cities have been pre-selected to compete in an online voting challenge.
Burlington is not listed as one of the pre-selected cities, however, voters can nominate our city as a “wild card” city. Two spaces on the board will be reserved for cities that are nominated through a wild card vote, which means any city in Canada can be nominated for these property spaces. Once the top 20 city vote is complete, the top 10 nominated wild card cities will also be put to a vote from Feb. 8 to Feb. 21, 2010.
Nominate and cast your vote at monopolyvote.ca.
