Funny, after looking at the article for myself, it says something
totally different than what you claim:



"Van Der Beesen, 24, knew nothing of the contest, which the city
publicized by advertising in the Globe and Mail.

'I was very skeptical, to be honest with you," she said in a phone
interview. "Now that I've been talking with someone from the City of
Edmonton, I'm really excited about coming.'

She said she will probably bring her partner, Chris LeBlanc, to see the
city she last visited when she was a child.

'We don't know who we're flying with or where we're staying,' she said.
'All they said was, 'You've won a trip to Edmonton.' '

Their trip will include a visit to Capital Ex. The event sounded new to
her, 'so I'm really looking forward to coming in and seeing what it's
all about.'

Told that until this year Capital Ex was called Klondike Days, she said
she may have been to that. Even so, she said she looks forward to the trip."
