Just in time for Canada Day, the internationally best-selling Monopoly game makers released the list of cities that will appear on their new Canada Edition board. Ottawa and Gatineau are among the 22 cities selected.
More than one million votes on the Hasbro website during a six-week period early this year narrowed down which cities to include. Ottawa is listed as a light-blue square in the same group as Toronto and Vancouver, with Gatineau in the red group along with Medicine Hat, Alta. and Shawinigan, Que.
Boardwalk is represented by Chatham-Kent, Ont. and Park Place is Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Que. No Maritime cities made the cut due to a lack of votes, Hasbro said.
The full list of cities are:
- Dark Blue: Chatham-Kent, Ont.; Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Que;
- Green: Calgary; Sarnia, Ont; Edmonton
- Yellow: Windsor, Ont.; Quebec City; Trois-Rivieres, Que;
- Red: Medicine Hat, Alta.; Gatineau; Shawinigan, Que;
- Orange: Kawartha Lakes, B.C.; Chilliwack, B.C.; Montreal
- Magenta: Kelowna, B.C.; North Bay, Ont.; St. John's
- Light Blue: Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver
- Brown: Beauceville, Que.; Banff
