EP1 The Eternal Frontier Mar 13, 2014

Go on an extraordinary journey from the spectacle of humpback whales feeding on capelin off Newfoundland to the world's largest intact temperate rainforest in British Columbia that is home to the rare 'white' black bear. Acrobatic flying squirrels and thousands of mating red-sided garter snakes are just some of the incredible array of wildlife we see.

EP2 The Wild West Mar 20, 2014

Journey from the secret world of Canada's wettest and most biologically diverse landscape, the temperate rainforest to the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains. The stories are intimate and epic: from wolves that fish for salmon to the thrilling sounds of head-butting male big horn sheep, to ice-covered grizzly bears living near the Arctic Circle. The ancient coastal forests hide rarely told stories of human and wildlife relationships that have co-existed for thousands of years.

EP3 The Heartland Mar 27, 2014

From the prairies to Canada's vast boreal forest that stretches almost from coast to coast, we reveal a huge wilderness of extremes that has been shaped over millennia by both humans and wildfires. Here pronghorn antelope, the fastest hoofed land animal on earth, still haunt the grasslands, the elusive wolverine thrives in the icy remote northern forests and beaver share their cozy lodges with grateful muskrats.

EP4 Ice Edge Apr 03, 2014

A landscape inhabited by wildlife and people who have found an amazing variety of ways to survive. From polar bear cubs making their first discovery of ice to a caribou calf 'dancing' in the chilly spring air to eider ducks diving under the ice to find mussels, we witness the extremes and wonders of life far north.

pauladams666 I ended up watching this with the sound turned down. I found the narration by David Suzuki to be tedious in the extreme. This man may be a well respected academic, but he can't read a script to save his life. They should have used an actor or someone of the ilk of an Attenborough who understands what intonation is. Such a shame because, for me, it spoiled the eye candy of the wilds of Canada. And, while I think of it,the script itself wasn't that great either. 10 out of 10 for the filming, 5 out of ten for the script, 1 out of 10 for the narration. I think I've been generous giving it an overall 9, but the cinematography really was superb.
Matthew Starr I watched all 4 episodes of Wild Canada and they all had amazing footage. It shows just how great and diverse the Canadian wilderness is. One shot that stood out was a lone mountain goat on the awe inspiring cliffs of the Stikine River in Northern BC. The bear footage and slow motion salmon jumping were also very well done. It was great to learn about the different animals and ecosystems. David Suzuki did a great job narrating the series. It highlights the need to protect these beautiful places and animals so that they can be enjoyed for generations to come. It was also interesting to see behind the scenes, which showed how they got certain shots (more difficult than you think). I hope that similar programs will be released in the future.
