On Sept. 10, Canadians from coast to coast are being asked to film a day in their life for Canada In A Day, a crowd-sourced film to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.

Inspired by Ridley Scott’s 2011 91Ô­´´enon Life In A Day, the project Canada In A Day will encapsulate the ordinary and the extraordinary events of one day in the life of Canadians in a memorable, touching film to be released next summer.

The creators, award winning filmmaker Trish Dolman and CTV/Bell Media, want all Canadians to have a voice in this visual time capsule. This is an opportunity to speak about what the country means to you, what you love, what you fear or what you hope for.

Videos can be about absolutely anything, from documenting an extraordinary event like a wedding, or something completely ordinary, like a tour of your neighbourhood or the preparation of a family meal. Videos can also be in any language of your choice, or even feature multiple languages.

Need some ideas? There are several events happening in 91Ô­´´ on Sept. 10 to make the perfect filming backdrop.

All of downtown 91Ô­´´ City will be buzzing with thousands of people — and hotrods — at the car show. In Fort 91Ô­´´, the is taking over Glover Road, with two dozen mobile kitchens serving up delectable dishes. And in rural 91Ô­´´, Krause Berry Farms is hosting the fundraiser for the Township of 91Ô­´´ Firefighters’ Charitable Society, and just down the road, JD Farms is having their annual F, with proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation.
