Footage Of Northumberland, England Used By Canadian Tourist Board In Their Video
Footage of a girl walking along the Canada coastline on a still day has been revealed to have been filmed in Northumberland, England.
The video was included in a package commissioned by the tourist board in Alberta to help promote and boast visitor numbers. It was intended to show the best features of the Alberta province in Canada and increase levels of Canada holidays in the region. However, when Canadian Peter Bailey saw the video and looked into taking his boat there, he realised it was a fake. His initial thoughts were that the beach was on the edge of one of Canada's vast lakes but a North Sea coast in England turned out to be nearer the truth. Confident that the middle of Alberta was at least 300 miles from the Pacific Ocean and 450 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, Bailey thought he should let the relevant people know.
Peter alerted the Northumberland Tourism Board of the issue and they saw the funny side. “ we think it’s quite humorous – Canada presenting one of it landlocked provinces as an Island” Said Sheelagh Caygill. Most of the Northumberland public were not upset but rather flattered about it. Stating that its a privilege for Canada to want to use our landscapes as their own.
Bailey also asked the national government in Ottawa about the video and they were a little more defensive. It was used by us simply to “symbolise the fact Albertans are a worldly people” stated a spokesman.Head of media relations for the Prime Minister, Tom Olson stated “There's no attempt to mislead here. The video was used by us just as an aid to the mood and feel of the marketing material."
Statements suggest that the footage will remain in the promotional video but there will now be a credits section that thanks the Northumberland Tourist Board. It is safe to say that all involved are a little embarrassed about the situation but hope that it should blow over soon. Among other promotional works that Canada has recently released include one for Alaskan cruises and there will surely be people keeping an eagle eye out for passing flamingos in the Alaskan cruises footage
