Kate,
I have a big thank you and the fine folks in North Bay. The Northern Ontario boost was very obvious and is likely the biggest reason why we won.
We had over 4000 views and an unknown amount of votes in the last few hours of voting. Between you and Kenny Brewster, it was a lock.
I'm not sure if I could get a formal thank you in BayToday but man, would that be great.
We now have a $25,000 development deal from CBC. Largely thanks to Northern Ontario. I'm glad I wore my North Bay football shirt in the video. How fitting.

Thanks again Kate.
