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.
Holiday Marathon Schedule (All times in EST):
Christmas Day (Dec 25) – Season 4 starts at Noon
Boxing Day (Dec 26) – Season 3 starts at 10 AM
New Year’s Day (Jan 1) – Season 4 begins at 4 PM
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.

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.

While we were filming an episode of my travel series "Seeing the USA" in Louisiana we visited the Whitney Plantation. It is about an hour outside of New Orleans.
It is the only plantation museum in Louisiana with an exclusive focus on slavery. Here Dr. Joy Banner told us about the lives of the enslaved who were forced to cultivate sugar and rice on this plantation from 1752-1865. Joy is a descendent of some of the enslaved people who worked here.
You can learn all about this important part of history in my travel series "Seeing the USA" when it airs on Amazon Prime Video and on public TV stations in the USA including PBS. #SeeingtheUSA
