Quebec City named Canada's 'most interesting town' in Reader's Digest contest
MONTREAL - Quebec City has come out on top as "Canada's most interesting town" in a contest sponsored by Reader's Digest.
The magazine's readers were invited to write about their communities and a panel of judges selected the Quebec capital "based on the quality and the persuasiveness of the submissions," said managing editor Dominique Ritter.
Runners-up were also named, split among various categories: Iles-de-la-Madeleine, Que., for best cuisine; Port Hope, Ont., best destination; Welshpool, N.B., community spirit; Chemainus, B.C., most entrepreneurial; St. Albert, Alta., healthiest; Craik, Sask., greenest; and Bouctouche, N.B., most artistic.
The magazine received submissions for more than 370 cities, towns and villages. Entries can be read on a Google map at http://tinyurl.com/bxy3nna.
Readers were also able to vote for their favourite entries. More than 1.4 million votes were cast, with Annapolis Royal, N.S., getting the most.
