    I'm sorry that I can't purchase right now, but I'd like to enter the contest.

    My favourite place in Canada is the village where I live - Tatamagouche Nova Scotia, population 700.

    In rural NS (that's just about everywhere outside Halifax & Sydney), communities have to be self-sustaining & Tata is working miracles.

    We have Sunday evening movies, our own theatre group, a fantastic volunteer fire department, a jewel of a small hospital, an art gallery, a book store, a flower shop, a pharmacy whose employess voted "employer of the year", a grocery store (of course), a butcher shop, a library (& a new one coming next year), post office, bank, insurance agent, dentist, great doctors, heritage groups, the old Creamery - made over into a heritage centre, a farmers' market, an Inn that houses & feeds its guests in gorgeously renovated train cars, and MORE.

    The spirit here is one of "we can do anything" - and we do.

    Thanks for letting me brag a bit. I'd really love to win that rug.!
