OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- 10/29/09 -- A year ago, over one million Canadians from coast to coast were introduced to EcoTraction through CBC Dragon's Den, one of the most popular TV shows in Canada.

On Wednesday November 11th at 8pm, EcoTraction will again be featured on the top rated show where viewers will have the opportunity to see how this green product has experienced unprecedented growth despite the tough economic conditions.

EcoTraction is an innovative environmentally friendly anti-slip winter safety product created for use by consumers, corporations, and municipalities. Unlike chemical ice melters which have been labeled "toxic" by Environment Canada, EcoTraction actually benefits the environment because it is a safe, all-natural volcanic mineral. It grips into ice and snow and provides instant high-traction rather than melting.

Dragons' Den is a reality show where innovative products are presented as business opportunities to five of Canada's wealthiest entrepreneurs known as 'the dragons'. Last year, the show was one of the most watched in the country, peaking at over one million viewers per episode. This year, ratings have consistently gone up with over 1,678,000 viewers the night of October 14th and 1,717,000 viewers the night of Oct. 21st. Dragon's Den may emerge as CBC's highest rated show, even ahead of Hockey Night in Canada based on BBM ratings (http://tinyurl.com/yzejvlx).

Last season, all five dragons were so impressed with EcoTraction that they ended up fighting with each other, outbidding one another to invest their money in the green product. All five finally decided to invest together, though an interesting twist later took place and the fight continued beyond the show.

The November 11th broadcast is a highly anticipated update show dedicated entirely to featuring memorable pitches from previous seasons. Viewers will get an update from EcoTraction founders Mark Watson and Marc Appleby, and will find out which dragon eventually won the fight and got his shares in what has become one of the fastest growing products to be featured on the popular show.
