Woolwich is urging everyone to vote -- and vote often -- as the campaign to choose Canada's Hockeyville enters its final days.
Voting on the coveted title begins at 11 p.m. Saturday and ends at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, March 4.
Woolwich made it into the final round of the national competition, along with Terrace, B.C., Harbour Grace, N. L., Humboldt, Sask., and Thetford Mines, Que.
There are three ways to vote for Woolwich: call 1-866-533-8066, text "Vote Woolwich" to 222111 or vote online at

Voting is unlimited.
The winner of the Kraft Hockeyville title will be announced live on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada on March 7.
The community chosen as the ultimate hockey town gets $100,000 in arena upgrades and will host a pre-season NHL game.
Runner-up towns get $25,000 each.
A CBC film crew visited Elmira for a weekend earlier this month to shoot footage of Woolwich for broadcast during Hockey Night in Canada. The other competitors have also been showcased.
