Dryden says finding innovators for CBC’s ‘We Are Canada’ was like hockey scouting
Finding the next generation of innovators who are shaping Canada’s future is not that different than discovering hockey talent, says former NHL goaltender Ken Dryden.
They are out there, you just have to look for them.
Some of them will be presented on “We Are Canada,” a six-part television series narrated by actress Sarah Polley that debuts Sunday night on CBC. Dryden is co-creator and co-executive producer of the show. A version in French is set to air this summer on Radio-Canada.
The series features Canadians who are doing remarkable new things in areas as diverse as health care, space travel, agriculture and feeding the poor.
