Debbie Travis has a new home on CBC Television, and together with the network, is launching a nationwide search for Canada’s unsung heroes. The new, prime time show will air this fall, following Travis as she celebrates local heroes and takes a heart-felt and inspiring look at what we call a community. The show is looking for deserving individuals who make our neighbourhoods special places to live.
“We’ll be searching every nook and cranny in Canada for those special heroes whose contributions are the heartbeat of the community,” said Debbie Travis. “CBC Television is the perfect partner for this exciting collaboration and I am thrilled to be putting a new stake in the ground with the network for this show.”
Debbie Travis and CBC Television want to know about active individuals across the country who pour their hearts and souls into their communities. Canadians are invited to learn more about the show and submit applications online at www.cbc.ca/debbietravis starting Wednesday, March 31. Entries will be accepted until Tuesday, June 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
