Still Standing

- Season 1

(2015)

Bamfield, B.C. is a tiny pacific coastal town. Jonny fires a canon, goes on marine safari and sees a tsunami drill

Coleman, Alberta, embraces the disasters of their past. Jonny learns the perils of explosives, mining and bear patrol.

Souris, P.E.I. a salt-of-the-earth town that holds onto the traditional ways, be it fishing, Celtic music or Moonshining.

The population is decreasing as the young folk who do not wish to farm leave the town in southern Saskatchewan. There is a small museum there overseen by the niece of a giant of a man who was over 8ft tall but died at the age of 23 and he was told he was still growing. The chief of the Sioux, Sitting Bull, went there once to escape Americans.

Berwick, Nova Scotia is home to some eccentric innovators: an Alpaca Farmer, an Andalusian Horse Trainer and the Gun Doggers.

Oil Springs, ON is an unknown town with small-town oil tycoons, a Jamaican hairdresser and a family who mushes Huskies.

Lytton lies where the Thompson River meets the mighty Fraser River. It often features as the hottest place in Canada in the summer. The new Coquihala Highway steered some traffic away from the Trans Canada and hence Lytton. We see a man who makes many metal "sculptures". We meet the local General Store owner, Ken Wong. There is a man who walks about with a vacuum cleaner on his back. Jonny tries out dirt biking with some young fellas. Then on to gold panning with George. The area has plenty of White Water rafting, and that is on his itinerary too.

Manitou Manitoba has talent! Like a saw playing yodeling Cowboy, preteen archery champion and a famous opera house.

Wawa, Ontario, is the quintessential Canadian town. Home to a fur-trapper, a lake inspired artist and a news hound.

Jonny visits a goat farm, and tries his hand at milking, and Tractor mechanics, he looks in on a tractor graveyard for a spare part. Teeswater is getting a new sewer system, and now marketing themselves as a tractor town. Some tractor drivers participate in Square dancing tractors. Jonny hangs on through an initiation in pillion tractor rides. We see the wild Teeswater Stompers that get together to play music and drink in the woods.

Rowley, Alberta offers a wild series of manly challenges, including Bull semen extraction and Red Neck racing.

Buxton, On, was the final stop on the underground railroad and offered a new life of equality for former slaves.

Fogo Island, NFLD, where fish is king and the simple but challenging life is as it has been for hundreds of years.
