They say talent runs in the family. And that is certainly the case for our guests this week. 

Today's love story belongs to the Guthro family. This musical and talented family have been warming the hearts of audiences, both together and individually, for decades.

We are joined in the studio by award-winning singer-songwriter Bruce Guthro - a guy who's found fame on both sides of the Atlantic, his rising star daughter Jodi, and the captain of the good ship Guthro, Kim. The only reason Dylan Guthro couldn't join is that he's too busy making a splash in Nashville!

The Canadian Love Map is on a mission to tell Canada’s love stories. Over 100 episodes later, we are launching our sixth season. 

Hosted by legendary newscaster, author, and lifelong storyteller Nancy Regan, each episode of Love Map features the stories of individuals, friends, families, and lovers. In conversations, Nancy warmly explores the connections that can inspire us to see the good in this world.

Love isn’t a straight line. But it sure makes for an interesting story.

And everyone needs a good love story.

Imagine uprooting your life and moving to a new country, with a new culture, new societal expectations, maybe a new language.

In our last episode of Season 5, we hear the love story of Gayathri and Elena. Two immigrants to Canada who have created a network of love among a group of women who are carving out new lives in Alberta.

In the collaborative book “Landed: Transformative Stories of Canadian Immigrant Women”, 37 women from 30 countries of origin, share their individual and complex experiences of immigrating to Canada, and their journey to a new-found sense of belonging.

"Landed: Transformative Stories of Canadian Immigrant Women" is available to purchase here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B7PSHKMR

For many, caring for aging parents is the ultimate expression of love.

This week’s story belongs to Aaron Craven, a Vancouver-based actor and playwright. Aaron’s parents were diagnosed with forms of dementia, just as he was becoming a father for the first time. 

Now, Aaron is sharing his experience of caring for his aging parents in a new play called “Instantaneous Blue.” 

The play is semi-autobiographical, but anyone can relate to this story of dedication, responsibility, and love.

Every child has the right to a family. 

This week’s love story belongs to Rachel and Liz—two mothers who have made it their purpose to provide love, shelter, and support to children in the Foster-care system. 

For nearly a decade, these two mothers have given temporary homes to over dozens of children.

Their love, however, is as permanent as it is unconditional.

Every now and then we hit the streets to meet Canadians, and pick their brains about love.

As we enter 2023, we're asking Canadians all about New Year's resolutions and their approach to the new year. Are they an opportunity for self-improvement? Or an invitation for disappointment? A lot like love itself, we learn that when it comes to resolutions, everyone is different.

This week's love story is a bit of a departure from our regular fare. In fact, it's a place of departures. Hospice is a special approach to palliative or end of life care. And it encompasses not just the physical, but also emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their loved ones.

Hospice Halifax is a compassionate and supportive community of staff, volunteers, and donors dedicated to making dying and living as comfortable and as meaningful as possible at the end of life.

We meet Mackenzie (Fund Development Manager) and Kate (Registered Nurse) to learn about all the love behind hospice care, and how they are helping to shine a light, in the dark.

This season, from time to time, we're hitting the streets to meet Canadians, and pick their brains about love. One thing is for sure: there's a ton of love surrounding the holiday season.

In this episode, we're asking Canadians all about how they celebrate the holidays. We find out about what special traditions they take part in and pass down, how they make the holiday season unique to them, gift giving and giving back, and how they spend time with loved ones.

We all know the common phrase, "When one door closes, another one opens". Sometimes the hardest times in our lives can actually lead us to a more authentic path.

This week's love story belongs to Steve Lund, a Canadian actor who you may know from such shows as Bitten, Street Legal and Schitt's Creek. He's currently starring in two holiday movies on a small screen near you: Christmas Bedtime Stories, and Six Degrees of Santa.

Once upon a time, though, Steve was an accomplished hockey player well on his way to the NHL. Then, an unexpected turn of events made his lifelong dream of being an actor come true.
