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.

Christmas Day (Dec 25) – Season 4 starts at Noon
Boxing Day (Dec 26) – Season 3 starts at 10 AM

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.
In Season 4, we continue the journey with even more — connecting with Canada’s food, nature, diverse cultures, unique characters, and the powerful stories of Indigenous tourism.
I’m so excited for you to join me on this journey — I hope to inspire you to explore new places and see Canada in a whole new light.

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.
I recently attended the 2024 Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) Annual Convention in beautiful Istanbul, Turkey! It was a fantastic opportunity to network at the Media Marketplace and other events, while looking for new stories for my travel series, Brandy Yanchyk Sees the World.
In Iqaluit, Nunavut we were invited into people's homes and businesses to learn more about the Inuit culture. We heard throat singing and saw the lighting of the Quilliq. We were taught traditional Inuit handgames. We saw how local jewellers, soap makers and fashion designers are using materials from the land to make their products. We are filming the second season of #SeeingCanada with Brandy Yanchyk. It’s airing on #PBS, CPAC - Cable Public Affairs Channel, Create TV & #Neta_Tweets.

We are out and about filming season two of my travel series #SeeingCanada. One of the highlights has been visiting the remote Sable Island National Park Reserve in Nova Scotia.
