I tried something new this past year — I narrated an audiobook!
It’s called Securing Canada’s Future: Vital Insights from Women Experts, edited by Aisha Ahmad and published by the University of Toronto Press.
I learned so much through this experience and highly recommend the book.

Thank you to Sound Understanding for this opportunity.
"Securing Canada's Future tackles the most pressing national and international security challenges that Canada will face in the decade ahead, with insights from women who are leaders in the field of security studies.
After decades of uncontested dominance, the era of American hegemony is ending and a new multipolar world order is emerging in its place. This transformation is also occurring alongside uncontrolled climate change and the development of volatile new technologies. Together, these factors dramatically complicate the global threat landscape.
Securing Canada's Future offers a comprehensive analysis of the most serious challenges that Canada will face in the near future. Written by leading Canadian women scholars and security experts, this collection covers the most critical risks and threats on the horizon, including rising Chinese power, resurgent Russian aggression, escalating competition in the Arctic, the near irreversibility of climate change, disaster management and mitigation, evolving cybersecurity threats, and gendered violence." - https://utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/9781487542030#:~:text=Written%20by%20leading%20Canadian%20women,change%2C%20disaster%20management%20and%20mitigation%2C
I had two fantastic days filming new commercials for Canadian Footwear in Winnipeg.
Canadian Footwear is a family-owned business that's been around since 1932!
I flew into Winnipeg to shoot two of the three commercials I pitched, wrote, produced, and am now directing for Canadian Footwear.
I’m enjoying my new job as a Commercial Writer/Producer for Corus Creative Services.
I am excited to share a sneak peek into one of the exciting projects I’m producing, writing, and directing as part of Corus’ Creative Services team!
We’re currently deep into post-production after a fantastic shoot last week with Alberta Chicken Producers and Emily Mardell, RD. This project is made up of three parts: a Trending segment, a 15-second commercial, and a 1-minute social media video. It’s been such a rewarding experience working as a Commercial Producer and Writer here at Corus.
I'm thrilled to announce another Seeing Canada Holiday Marathon is Here — Join Me on This Adventure!
Ready to explore Canada with me this holiday season? There's going to be a Seeing Canada marathon coming up on CPAC - Cable Public Affairs Channel.

In Season 3, we connect with Canada’s incredible culinary scene, explore its beautiful nature, and dive into the rich diversity of cultures. We also uncover stories of Indigenous tourism, Black History, and Southwestern Ontario’s deep ties to the Underground Railroad.

I do love growing food and making films so this new series Food's Footprint with Brandy Yanchyk makes me very happy. It focuses on sustainable agriculture and the future of food.
So far I have made three short videos about five minutes each. Please enjoy them and think about all the wonderful things you could be growing in your garden.
The series is on my YouTube channel for free. Please subscribe and share. https://www.youtube.com/@BrandyYProductions
A big thank you to Thomas Dudley and Cory Johnn for their camera work and Johnny Blerot for the sound mix and Michael Macintosh for the colour correction and delivery. I am the director, producer, writer, host and editor on the series!
These short films were made with the support of Alberta's government through Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
Australian Distributor Flame is distributing my new series #SeeingCanada around the world at the various markets. Click here to check out their website: http://flamemedia.tv/flame-distribution/catalogue/seeing-canada
I'm thrilled to say that I'm going to be doing a new travel series called #SeeingtheUSA about the states. It will be airing on PBS stations in 2019. I'll be heading to Denver for #IPW2018 soon to hear about what destinations I will be covering.
My first stop is Alaska! I'll be filming that episode in May/June.
What a treat to see my #documentary series #DinoTrails on my Air Canadaflight home from #CMM2018 in San Francisco! Thank you STORYHIVE for choosing it to be part of Air Canada's In Flight Entertainment System.
It was so cool to be asked to interview the Mayor of #Quebec City, Régis Labeaume, at the Media Reception at Canada Media Marketplace in San Francisco. I tried to convince him and the other international media to go ice canoeing in Quebec City like I did!
These photos are hilarious. Why do I feel like we are characters in the movie Fargo? It's my outfit for sure and the red truck. Thomas Dudley and I were out in the snow yesterday filming scientist Lynn Moorman for my new CBC documentary #MsScientist. The eerie atmosphere of Ghost Lake, Alberta set the mood!
