Film Locations Across Canada

The filming of "The Trans-Canadian Dream" is expected to take four years and will take place in over 100 locations across nine provinces in Canada, mainly following the original 1912 route of Jack Haney and Thomas Wilby. We have completed filming in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec. We are scheduled to film in Ontario in 2027.
