Christmas Day (Dec 25) – Season 4 starts at Noon

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.
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.

Recently I filmed in Calgary, Alberta at the Land of Dreams.
On this small area of land I met newcomers to Canada who are learning how to grow vegetables and flowers in Alberta's soil.
They are also learning about Indigenous culture and how to raise chickens, be a beekeeper and the importance of compost.
It's an amazing urban farming initiative by the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society.
I was filming for my new documentary series that I am hosting which is currently called "Food's Footprint".
The documentary series "Food’s Footprint" will go on a journey across Alberta and British Columbia to discover the sustainable food practices that are altering the future of food and the environment.
Thank you to the Alberta Federation of the Arts for the funding to start this new series.

Here's a cool article about Brandy Yanchyk’s recent trip to the Northwest Territories while she was filming the second season of her travel series “Seeing Canada”. She traveled to Yellowknife and Lutsel K'e and it was such a pleasure to film with Derrald Taylor, James Marlowe and John D Rombough who are mentioned in this article.
“The NWT offers easy and incredible access to Indigenous culture and its rugged, untouched landscapes and nature,” Yanchyk said, “it makes for a wonderful place to film.”

DVDS of the documentary Ms. Scientist are available now
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE CONTENT: Ms. Scientist celebrates women in science today and looks at the challenges female scientists face trying to advance their careers in Canada.
WHY THIS DVD WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO LIBRARY CUSTOMERS: Around the world the fields of scientific research and development remain a male-dominated environment. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics less than thirty percent of the world’s researchers are women. Many women enter a career in science but leave because of roadblocks and challenges. Canada wants to change that.
Furthering the careers of women and science is one of the objectives of the Canadian federal government at the moment. In April 2017, Canada’s Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan said she is considering whether quotas are necessary to ensure that women land top research posts in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics).

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.
I have had a lot of requests from people who want to watch my new documentary Ms. Scientist outside of Canada. Now everyone outside of Canada can watch it here using Vimeo.
