Bay of Fundy

May I suggest watching this program, and then dancing off to the Fundy Chorale concert in Digby at 3pm? The title of the performance is called "Dancing Day", after all! (the title of a medley included in the performance).

CBC's Land & Sea: Bay of Fundy episode

Hi there-



I wanted to let you know about Sunday’s episode Land & Sea that may be of interest to you – it’s a feature on the Bay of Fundy. It airs Sunday Nov 21 at noon.



Episode info:



The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world. Twice daily a volume of water equal to the flow of all the rivers on the planet enters the Bay. The tides rise 12 to 16 meters - 40 to 50 feet high but it is not only the awesome physical power of the Fundy tides. It's their ability to support the magnificent whales, fascinating seabirds and shorebirds and the rest of the marine life. The Bay is truly one of the natural wonders of the world.



There's no one better to guide us than author and naturalist Harry Thurston. He grew up close to the Bay - he's even written a book about it.



The Bay of Fundy is the only Canadian finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature competition. There are 28 entries - 7 will be chosen. To vote, go to www.new7wonders.com. The winners will be announced November 11, 2011.



Watch Land & Sea, Sunday November 21 at noon on CBC Television. You can also see the show online after the broadcast at http://www.cbc.ca/landandsea/

Have a great weekend!
