Premise
The lives of selected Canadian families were profiled in this series with the initial intent to revisit them five years later. However, public interest in the series caused the CBC to revisit featured families more frequently and to profile additional families. Profiled people included an architect, an Inuk artist, a Jamaican immigrant and a lighthouse operator from Newfoundland. The various segments were produced with numerous directors.Scheduling
