Seeing Canada

Brandy Yanchyk's travel documentary, Seeing Canada, will connect viewers to the "Signature Experiences" Canada has to offer.

These Signature Experiences have been fully vetted by the Canadian government's tourism department (known as Destination Canada). These experiences are adventurous in nature, making for great television!

Through Brandy's charm, sense of humor and curiosity, the audience will have the chance to learn something new about even the most familiar of destinations.
