Scott Moir Calls on Canadians to Celebrate National Pride in the My Home is Canada Campaign
A light show made by and for Canadians aims to inspire and delight this winter season
January 11, 2021

January 11, 2021 (London, ON) – Starting today, the My Home is Canada campaign and decorated Olympian Scott Moir ask Canadians coast-to-coast to share images of cherished moments, stunning places, favourite foods, and more to showcase national pride. These images will culminate in an enormous light show that highlights Canada’s diversity, family, heritage, landscape and food.

  • Canadians can share photos by using #MyHomeisCanada on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter between now and January 19th to be included in the light show, coming soon.

Scott Moir, one of the world’s foremost ice dance champions, has partnered with Club House®, French’s® and Billy Bee® on My Home is Canada to unify people and celebrate the best of Canada. A bright light to shine in the dark of winter, this unique display will feature a mosaic of images transformed into Canadian icons and landmarks including a maple leaf, Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, the Rockies, the Montreal Olympic Stadium and a map of Canada.

Having represented Canada on the international stage for years, Scott’s national pride and passion for all things Canadian is exemplified in the My Home is Canada initiative. “As we enter a new year, we want to spread happiness and optimism, and to remind Canadians of the beauty in their everyday moments. I encourage all Canadians to share images of what Canada means to them and be a part of this cultural moment. It’s an opportunity to reflect on what makes this country so special; the people, memorable meals, sporting events, beloved towns – whatever represents love for this great country,” said Moir.

Each brand involved in this campaign is strongly rooted in the Canadian community. For 137 years, Club House has been part of London, Ontario, producing a range of beloved cooking and baking flavours that are relied on by Canadians every day. French's Ketchup is made with one hundred per cent Canadian-grown tomatoes from Leamington, Ontario then blended and bottled in Ontario. Billy Bee Honey, a Canadian favourite for over 60 years, is locally sourced from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

“In 2020 we celebrated the essence of being Canadian through a unique rendition of our national anthem for Canada Day and by highlighting diversity within Thanksgiving meals. Now we’re honouring that same spirit with light and inspiration through the eyes of Canadians,” said Trevor Squires, General Manager for McCormick Canada. “My home is Canada, the beautiful land of the true north where we are strong, diverse, and free.”
