From Sept. 18 to 21, the search for Mr. Gay Canada is on.
"We're looking for somebody who has presence and confidence and can represent our country on an international level," said organizer Terry Costa.

Mr. Gay Canada should be articulate, smart, and be able to speak on behalf of the community "about equal rights, an inclusive society and a better world," he added.

The 10 delegates, including five from B.C., will be judged on appearance (15 per cent) and on character and leadership (85 per cent).

The competition includes an eco-challenge, photo shoots, bar-hopping, interviews and community appearances. There'll also be Speedos for a photo shoot in Lost Lake in Whistler.

The winner, who will be chosen on Sept. 20, will represent Canada at the International Mr. Gay competition in California this winter.
