 The
first nationwide search for Mr. Gay Canada is set to take place September
18-21st, 2008. Hosted in the idyllic mountain resort of
Whistler, BC, the primary purpose of the Mr. Gay Canada (MGC) is to
identify leaders who will take responsibility not only in his own
community but also on a global stage speaking out for equal rights. Mr.
Gay Canada is a positive role model and will work on humanizing being gay
and act as an LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Tourism
Ambassador for Canada.
 Setting
the stage of the inaugural event as Presenting Sponsor and Host Hotel is
The Fairmont Chateau Whistler. "We are so thrilled to welcome
the support of The Fairmont Chateau Whistler" explains Dean Nelson,
Executive Producer of Mr. Gay Canada. "We are working with the
Fairmont team to come up with some very exciting challenges for our
delegates that will test their abilities to think on their feet while
evoking the brand qualities of Fairmont. Working with a Canadian
hotel chain and one that is so iconic was really important to the
organization as we see many similar traits - we are both trail
blazers!"
The
Mr. Gay Canada Competition is a 3-day, indoor/outdoor series of events
to help our judges identify a strong spokesman or ambassador to tell the
world about our mission. The competition includes physical tests
and interviews with a panel of judges. Only 15% of the judging
points are assigned to appearance, which means 85% of the points are for
qualities in character and leadership. The winner of the competition
will receive an all expenses paid trip to Los Angeles in February 2009
to represent Canada in the International Mr. Gay Competition
