A family can take many forms, whether as a tightly-knit "traditional" rural family in Newfoundland, a single mother and her daughter in Montreal, a same-sex couple with three children in New Brunswick, or a large "blended" family in Toronto. This video takes us on an intimate journey into the homes and lives of seven families across Canada, challenging our views about what family is and what it will be in generations to come. The classroom version features an access menu at the beginning of the program and locator codes throughout.
