Arctic Mark in Stanley Park

Setting Up For "Test The Nation II"

After meeting at the CBC building at Wellington and John Streets at noon on Saturday, March 17, all 250 contestants were ushered in to sign in, then directed to a giant reception room, nicely laid out with an impressive buffet lunch. After an hour or so of eating and socializing with others from our respective teams, we were finally led into the studio, but not before several emphatic reminders to make sure to use the washrooms before going into the studios, because we would be in there for several hours, with no chance for a pee break until the end. We would all come to appreciate just how important that advice was by 5:30 pm!
