THE SHOW
Whether viewers want aerial views of majestic scenery, quirky interviews with folks living off
the grid, a step back in time to walk in the footsteps of pioneers, or to explore unique arts
and cultural destinations, Wings Over Canada delivers interesting and compelling human
moments. This series, now seen weekly just about everywhere in North America, began as a
lighthearted look at Canada: its people, history and customs. No subjects escaped the crew
as they worked their way from ghost towns and remote fly-in fishing lakes to gold mines in
search of the next unique adventure.
With humour, good will and a self-deprecating manner that many have come to identify with
the quintessential Canadian personality, our hosts celebrate the natural beauty and authenticity
of Canada’s diverse landscape.
In season 11, host Darren Adam, an experienced pilot, takes viewers on a journey as he gains
his float rating. He visits Kelowna, B.C on the 5th anniversary of the Okanagan Mountain Park
firestorm and hears eyewitness accounts of the inferno’s devastation. Darren travels to
beautiful Manitoba to check out the eco-friendly Falcon Trails Resort where loyal guests
keep coming back year after year to board or ski in winter and indulge in some quality
summer ‘laketime’.
For a change of pace, Darren joins international travelers on The Rocky Mountaineer,
fast becoming one of the world’s favorite train trips. Wings Over Canada may have
started out as a fishing show but it has grown into so much more. Tune in and experience armchair
travel at its best. |
