After many responses to CBC’s online campaign, Canadians have selected the final seven wonders of Canada. Of course they all look lovely (though it’s unclear how the Sleeping Giant finished so far ahead in the polls) but one of the non-finalists that should be experience by every Canadian at some point is the Saugeen Shores sunset.

The photo shots and video were taken during the spring, but the autumn is when the sky gains seriously rich and varied colour. For the time being, the beachfront is relatively uncluttered – few things are as relaxing as a walk along the Port Elgin beach or the Shoreline Road.

Saugeen Shores is located in Southwestern Ontario along shores of Lake Huron. Bruce Power is the major employer in the region. The amalgamated municipality (which includes Port Elgin and Southampton) has a population of approximately 12,000. Tourist attractions include MacGregor Point Provincial Park, The Annual Pumpkinfest and of course the beaches.
