New7Wonders of Nature "voting day" at Sunny Brae Middle School in Canada

Students from Sunny Brae Middle School in Moncton, New Brunswick, make Canada's very own Bay of Fundy part of the New7Wonders of Nature.

The pupils in Mlle. LeBlanc's Grade 6 Social Studies group began preparing their Bay of Fundy project in April. On Thursday, June 9th, they presented their results and encouraged their Sunny Brae Middle School classmates to take part in a school-wide vote for the Bay of Fundy along with six other of their favorite Finalists in the New7Wonders of Nature. More than 150 votes were cast during the class.

"Voting day" at Sunny Brae Middle School was considered a great success and helped create global awareness throughout the school.
