CBC RADIO 3 SURVEY: Who is the best independent record store in Canada?

Yesterday CBC Radio 3 announced the start of their survey to determine the "Best Independent Record Store in Canada"

Anyone can vote, up to once a day every day for the next few weeks. Next week, CBC will announce the top twenty stores, the following week, the top ten, then a top five, and finally, on April 18, just in time for International Record Store Day, they'll announce the Searchlight Best Independent Record Store in Canada.

CBC Radio 3 will arrange a live broadcast from the winning store, which will also receive a winning trophy and plaque, get rigged with a Sirius satellite radio system, and will have a special in-store appearance from their favourite local artist that they'll also broadcast live.

You can vote for Soundscapes or your other favorite record stores here:
