Nestor Falls has advanced to the final round of voting for the World Fishing Network’s “Ultimate Fishing Town” contest.
The town finished third in Canada, and sat in a similar position at press time yesterday afternoon, shortly after voting kicked off.
Voting will continue until Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. local time at http://www.wfn.tv/ultimate-fishing-town/
Voters can cast a ballot once every 12 hours per valid email address.
The winning town will receive a $25,000 community donation, and the World Fishing Network will also produce a 30-minute program focusing on the winning community.
The other nine finalists include: Chilliwack, B.C., Port Alberni, B.C., Nipawin, Sask., Dauphin, Man., Thunder Bay, Port Rowan, Ont., Seeleys Bay, Ont., Miramichi, N.B. and O’Leary, P.E.I.
