In January and February of this year Hasbro held a contest to vote for the Canadian cities that would be placed on the new Canadian version of the Monopoly board. Sixty-five cities were in contention and only 22 could be chosen. The cities that were awarded the top rent spots are the ones who marshalled themselves to place the most votes for their city. Congratulations to all of the cities who made it on to the board and kudos to the cities with the most civic enthusiasm!
The following 22 cities earned spots on the Monopoly: Canada Edition game board, and are listed with the highest rent properties first:
Dark Blue: Chatham-Kent, Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu
Green: Calgary, Sarnia, Edmonton
Yellow: Windsor, Quebec City, Trois-Rivieres
Red: Medicine Hat, Gatineau, Shawinigan
Orange: Kawartha Lakes, Chilliwack, Montreal
Magenta: Kelowna, North Bay, St. John’s
Light Blue: Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver
Brown: Beauceville, Banff
Along with the 22 property spaces featuring great Canadian cities, the game will include updated Chance and Community Chest cards that highlight events and culturally relevant scenarios from Canada. Players may take flight at the International Balloon Festival in Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, skate along the Rideau Canal in Ottawa or win big at the casinos in Niagara Falls. The new Monopoly: Canada Edition also features an Electronic Banking unit with cards instead of cash. Players can collect rent and buy their favourite Canadian cities with the touch of a button!
The new Monopoly: Canada Edition will be available in stores across the country, in both English and French on June 28th, 2010 for an approximate retail price of $39.99. For more information please visit www.hasbro.ca.
