Cheers for Canada
is a Canada wide contest to create a new, uniquely Canadian replacement for 'Cheers'. This word could be yours!

The winner will receive a party toasting their word on May 24 weekend, 2009!

EH-O

Roz from Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia

"My new "cheers" word is EH - O!

Story: When ever my friends get together when use this word mulitple times throughout the night, especially in replace of cheers. But, its not just said as it's written, its a short "EH" with a long "O" and the whole word is said loudly and proudly. Not only does it use the notorious "EH" which is one of Canada's "claims to fame" but it also uses "o" which is the first word in the National Anthem.

Therefore, it's a perfect cheers that all Canadians can relate to and when you hear us say it the way it supposed to be said, it will surely spread from East to West to North.

EH-O,"

Thanks
