A resident notification from production company TB Productions dba Todd Productions Inc states that filming will take place in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood in the 3000 block of Main Street on Wednesday, Aug. 10 from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. The crew will start setting up for the shoot on Tuesday night, however.
One of the scenes will feature a car pulling up in front of 3021 Main St. where actors exit the vehicle and walk to the sidewalk. There will also be some "dialogue scenes" in front of the building, as well as some interior filming of the interior and exterior back entrance.

It’s very rare for Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to play itself in a TV show, making Family Law (set at a downtown Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»law firm) unique. Starring Victor Garber, season three is now filming, and the Corus series has been picked up for international syndication, including Italy, Australia and the US (on The CW).
The one-hour drama follows a "group of flawed family members who reluctantly work together at their father's law firm in downtown Vancouver," according to .
Locals have previously shared images of the company filming scenes at Jericho beach.
