Recently I had the opportunity to join the Canada-e-Connect organizing team, as well as members of the Canadian Tourism Commission on another interesting conference site tour.

We visited the Telus World of Science, who will be hosting the exciting awards ceremony for the Canadian e-Tourism Awards on the evening of November 8, 2007.

Science World is an interesting and popular place to visit for people of all ages, but the real attraction for the e-Tourism Awards is the amazing OMNIMAX theatre, housed in the round portion of the facility that looks like a giant golf-ball.

The theatre is the perfect venue to hold the awards. Be ready for a truly unique experience that brings together state-of-the-art technology, design and innovation—in an evening that will be sure to inspire all who attend.

Vancouver based VRX Studios is the Canada-e-Connect photography sponsor, and David MacLaren, President, CEO, and Chairman of VRX joined the site inspection to test lighting and capture a few images along the way.

Naturally I thought it would be fun to feature an image of “Team CEC” captured by David after we toured the Telus World of Science:

And since my aim is to feature what’s really going on behind the scenes…enjoy this little video of David trying to get this motley crew together for the “perfect” capture:

See you at the Canadian e-Tourism Awards!
