Over Canada: An Aerial Adventure
National projects that get launched from the West Coast are as rare as one-legged runners.
With a one-hour CTV special and sponsorship from Royal Bank, Over Canada: An Aerial Adventure (Beautiful British Columbia/Whitecap $49.95) is a marketing gamble, a Left Coastal overview that uses a helicopter to bring the country together.
Culled from thousands of aerial photos, Over Canada celebrates the rugged diversity of the world's second-largest nation with the simple slogan 'there's no place like home.'
Lead photographer Russ Heinl, editor Bryan McGill and writers Rosemary Neering and Bruce Obee have dispensed with ten provinces and two territories in favour of six regions-Atlantic Canada, St. Lawrence/Great Lakes, the Canadian Shield, the Prairies, the North and the West-in French and English editions.
Two-thirds of Canada's 5.4 million residents 100 years ago lived in rural areas; today three-quarters of the 30.3 million residents live in cities and towns. One-third of our population lives in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Seventy percent of the country is still wilderness.
With Constance Brissenden, Russ Heinl has simultaneously published a then-and-now aerial comparison, Vancouver and the Lower Mainland from the Air (Whitecap $34.95), as well as Vancouver Island from the Air (Whitecap $34.95) with Rosemary Neering.

Vancouver 1-55110-958-1
Vancouver Island 1-55110-957-3
