Canada comes to London

Post by BEcause XM

The Canadian Tourism Commission has shrunk down seven of Canada’s provinces to create ‘Canada Dome’ at Canary Wharf – an interactive experience that promotes Canada as an attractive holiday destination. Visitors to the dome are made feel like they are fishing off Canada’s Atlantic Coast, listening to jazz music in a downtown bar or trekking through pine forests. In addition, large scale projections of Canadian beauty spots and the sound of wild Canadian wolves are to be played out around London.
