We Can Now Nominate Who We Want On The 5 Dollar Note!

We can finally nominate!

We have had a lot of predicting and coming up with recommendations for the new 5 dollar Canadian Note, and the time has finally come!

Although a few rules have been released, one big one, that they had been holding out on us.

The nominee needs to have been dead for 25 years at least. So Gord Downie is NOT an option. Although I feel like Terry Fox was the first choice for many, and with this rule, appears he should have the most nominations.

March 11th is the deadline so head to the link and nominate now
