Viewed it this morning on Global (channel 12 in the Outaouais / Ottawa area). Great Show. Filmed at the Roger Gladu Outfitting Services.
Can't wait to see the other ones, especially the ones in collaboration with DUC.

Oak Hammock Marsh, M.B., December 31, 2009 – Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is pleased to announce an exciting partnership with The Canadian Tradition television show.
“We have said it time and time again, but the simple and undeniable truth is waterfowlers have been there since Day 1 for DUC,†says Madeleine Arbez, DUC’s director of marketing. “In respect for that long relationship between DUC and duck hunters, we stepped forward with this opportunity. We wanted to share our pride in our waterfowling heritage with Canadians and felt The Canadian Tradition was a perfect vehicle to do that.â€
As part of the agreement, DUC has partnered in four waterfowling shows from the 13 episodes of the series’ 2010 premiere season. The tone and content of TCT provided DUC with an opportunity to proudly support the importance of hunting within the conservation world.
The Canadian Tradition will premiere on Jan. 2, 2010, during its regular broadcast slot on Global Television Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. EST and on the Wild Television network Monday nights at 8:30 P.M. EST. It will also be rebroadcast through the week on Wild TV. While the majority of The Canadian Tradition programs will deal with the pursuit of game other than waterfowl, the DUC profile will be front and centre during the waterfowl episodes.
“I find the history behind DUC a very interesting one,†says Taylor Wright. “DUC was started way back in the 1930s by hunters for the benefit of everyone who values wetlands and waterfowl, and to provide continued support for conservation of the resource.â€
The four inaugural DUC episodes of The Canadian Tradition were filmed in the fall of 2009 and will be part of the 2010 lineup. The show titles and their Global Television air dates are as follows:
Quebec Sink Box Experience (DUC) Jan. 16
Wings on Wolfe Island (DUC) Jan. 30
Prairie Waterfowl (DUC) Feb. 20
Late Season Ontario Geese (DUC) March 13
