'Canada in a Day' is a Canadian television documentary film directed by Trish Dolman, which aired on CTV in 2017.[https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/television/2017/06/13/ctvs-canada-in-a-day-debuts-june-25.html "CTV's Canada in a Day debuts June 25"]. 'Toronto Star', June 13, 2017. Created to mark the 150th anniversary of Canada in 2017 and inspired by the 2011 film 'Life in a Day', the film portrayed a snapshot of Canadian life over a period of 24 hours.
In 2016, CTV announced that people across Canada were being invited to film the events of their lives on September 10, 2016.[http://playbackonline.ca/2016/06/30/in-brief-alias-grace-gets-gadon-date-set-for-canada-in-a-day/ "In Brief: Alias Grace gets Gadon, date set for Canada in a Day"]. 'Playback', June 30, 2016. A total of 16,818 videos were received, which were then distilled into a two-hour film by Dolman and editor Nick Hector. Out of all the country-specific 'Life in a Day' sequels that have been released since 2011, 'Canada in a Day' received the third-highest number of submissions behind only 'Italy in a Day' and 'Spain in a Day'.
The film premiered on CTV on June 25, 2017, and was repeated on July 1 on CTV and July 2 on CTV Two.
The film won two Canadian Screen Awards at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards in 2018, for Best Direction in a Documentary Program (Dolman) and Best Editing in a Documentary Program (Hector).[https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/ctv-national-news-w5-win-at-canadian-screen-awards-1.3831985 "CTV National News, W5 win at Canadian Screen Awards"]. CTV News, March 6, 2018.
