A new episode of the hit TV series Still Standing will feature the town of Gravelbourg on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

Still Standing is an award-winning series that follows Canadian comedian Jonny Harris as he travels across the country and visits small towns.

The official episode description is as follows: 

“Like many rural communities in Canada, Gravelbourg is facing an uphill economic battle that has led to outmigration, and along with it a significant decline in French culture. But in recent years, more than 16 different nationalities have settled in the town including German, Korean, African, Lao, and Spanish people, and it’s this growing international population in Gravelbourg that is helping maintain the local economy and keeping the town on the map.”

The episode was filmed last year from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2. 

Still Standing will air on CBC on Tuesday at 8 p.m. local time. It will also be available on the free CBC Gem streaming service.

More information about the show is available online.
