Much of Canada has been watching CBC this month and enjoying all the ups and downs courtesy Team Canada at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics. But the commercial breaks can also stir up more feelings of Canadian pride, thanks to some Olympics-themed ads that tug at heart strings.
One such ad is from Canadian Tire, featuring a group of kids curling their young hearts out with intensity and passion. The rink is dimly lit, and looks like it鈥檚 been a part of the community forever, giving the ad a sort of timeless feel. That鈥檚 because the rink in real life has been a part of one 麻豆传媒映画community for nearly 60 years.
The Canadian Tire commercial was filmed at Vancouver鈥檚 Marpole Curling Club. The facility was built in 1959, and 鈥渁nd still holds the same inviting atmosphere that it did back then,鈥� boasts their website.
Obviously there is some dramatic lighting at work in the TV spot; the Marpole Curling Club says they keep their facility and its six sheets of ice, meeting rooms, and cafe up to date, while preserving its vintage vibes.
