Celebrating Canadian Film and TV with Netflix

It has only been the last couple of years that I have really taken notice to the idea of “Hollywood North” or Canada as a film and TV centre.  This month, Netflix is showcasing movies and TV that are set in Canada, filmed in Canada or created in Canada. This month, in honour of Canada Day Netflix is celebrating Canadian film and TV.

Maple Leaf Cookies:

What could be more Canadian than a maple-flavored cookie in the shape of a maple leaf? These are the perfect snack to take with you on your summer adventures!

This cool t-shirt lets your family create the Canadian flag with their own handprint as the maple leaf. It’s a great craft to get the whole family involved!
