Wish I had known about this sooner. The deadline for nominations was April 8th! No more nomination information can be uploaded or pictures. I would have had some good pictures too, as would other people Iām sure! Weāll we can still try - please vote Prince Rupert.
We are way behind on the votes but letās not let that stop us. We all know that we are better than Terrace, Port Hardy, Port Renfrew etc etc. Itās very simple to vote, especially after the initial vote. Vote once in each time block if you can. Port Hardy has a voting station set up in a Tackle shop. People can come in and vote, an email is sent for verification to their email address. After the initial vote has been verified anyone can vote using the verified email. Sooooo, Iām quite sure that they have a staff member doing just that. Doing the voting for other people!! At any rate letās do our best to at least beat Terrace!!!
VOTE! Vote! - we are over 300 now. You can vote 4 times a day! Get family and friends to sign up and verifiy their e-mails. Then you can vote for them after that Apparently a fishing store in one town is doing it. Letās get going PR - get everyone with a e-mail you know to vote!
Is to bad this information wasnt given to us when we could have put forward nominations. We have 1 nomination that is right out of Ajay U, while the other top contenders have many more understandable nominations such as Port Renfrew with 145 nominations.
I agree, wish I knew sooner, I would have done nomination too, but we can still try! We donāt have all the nominations, but PR has the heart to make it happen. Tell all your contacts. It doesnāt cost anything buy a few minutes of your time in the day. Offer to do it for others, once theyāve verified their e-mails. Voting is fast after the first one. Please Please REMEMBER to VERIFY the first vote/e-mail
Letās make this happen people, if you know someone that does not have the time to keep on voting (4 times a day) offer to vote for them while you are casting your own votes. Once the initial vote has been validated via e-mail, you can vote using their name and e-mail. Port Hardy and Port Renfrew are both using this as a way to accumulate multiple votes. Both of these Places have over 3,000 votes, we have just over 300ā¦ We can do this. As of today Prince Rupert is in 6th Place in the Western Region, ānot too pretty badā another 600 votes and weāll be riding Terraceās a$$. So go on, you can do it VOTE wfnfishingtown.ca select Prince Rupert and follow the steps provided
Seems like this is something our Tourism Prince Rupert guy should have known about and gave us information and a chance to participate weeks ago.
They probably didnt know about it. I dont expect them to spend their days surfing the internet for contests, Iām sure they have more important things to do.
I found about about this a few days ago - since then Iāve been voting at least once a day.
Everybody do the same. We have to beat Terrace!!!
Yeah guess he is super busy doing something
I think we have enough voting to do in the next few months.
Looks like round 1 ends in 2 weeks and the top 20 make the next round. We are currently in 17th with only a 70 cushion lead on falling out of the top 20. If we know when the next round starts at least we can be respectable next round. Seems like there is a facebook page for the contest at facebook.com/UFTCanada. I am guessing some of the charter guys are getting their clients to vote for them.
Ok, we passed Athabasca,AB - now keep voting. Get everyones e-mails registered. We are going to need all votes. Go Prince Rupert!
Prince Rupert Rocks, Letās show the rest of Canada !!! We can get more votes if we all pull together and commit to this. If you are voting four times a day for each e-mail that will make a big difference. You can cast a vote for your friends and family if they are too busy to vote for themselves. All you need is the initial email confirmation then itās all up to you to cast as many votes as possible within each 6 hour time slot. Make a difference, Vote, vote, and then vote again!! I am voting 8 times every 6 hours, using the e-mails of friends that are too busy to vote for themselves. You can do this tooā¦It only takes a few minutes of your time.
Reminder: VOTE! We can easily move up the board from 17th place, if people take a few minutes of their time. You can vote on behalf of others if they give you their e-mail address. We are only a few votes from passing the next townā¦letās do it!
āThe little Town that couldāā¦we are now in 16th place. (We just passed Dryden, ON and Nain, NL) Terrace is in 11th place. Keep voting. If you havenāt voted yet tonight, vote before 9 p.m. and again after 9:01 pm. Make your votes count - Thank You!
Vote everybody, itās really quite easy to do. Prince Rupert needs something positive to breathe a little life into us all!!!
Prince Rupert is currently 5th in Western Region, Terrace 4th. Prince Rupert people need to really start participating. We can still be in the final round, we can be the wild card that wins.

WFN will select an additional eight (8) wild card towns to make the top twenty (20).
What is a wild card?
The top three (3) towns from each region will advance to the final round of voting, which will determine the top twelve (12) towns, leaving eight (8) spots remaining in the top twenty (20).
