Food Network Wants You!
Did you know that most of the foods that you eat have travelled at least 1500 miles to get to you?
When James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith realized this, they began the 100-Mile Diet. For a full year, James and Alisa ate foods grown and produced within a 100 mile radius of their Vancouver home. Their quest spawned a movement that attracted global media attention and grassroots interest, and led them to write the national best selling book 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating.
Paperny Films and Food Network Canada are now taking James and Alisa’s diet to the next level – by challenging the city of Mission: 100 miles, 100 days. We are looking for participants for our six-part series, shooting this summer.
Can you handle the 100 Mile Challenge?
IF YOU LIVE IN MISSION VISIT WWW.100MILECHALLENGE.TV to apply for this show!

The Week The Women Went * FINALE * March 10th!
A week ago the women of Hardisty, Alberta skipped town for an all-expenses paid luxury vacation in the Rocky Mountains. 7 days have ticked by with the men in charge and in that time… well… let’s just say things have been done a bit differently…. There’s been Dad’s daily dinner of BBQ’d meat … novel bath times where kids plus a soapy trampoline equals clean… and most delicious of all, staying up well beyond Mom’s bedtime curfews! Yet, in the midst of the madness, children have grown closer to their fathers and tough prairie men have been brought to their knees.
Tune in for the exciting conclusion of Paperny Films' hit series on CBC. It's a homecoming for the history books!
