Scott’s Vacation House Rules
Scott McGillivray and designer Debra Salmoni are back for another Scott’s Vacation House Rules adventure through cottage country, transforming tired and neglected properties into irresistible vacation rentals.
Using Scott’s five Vacation House Rules, the pair uncover the hidden potential in cottages, lake houses, bungalows and some rather unexpected properties. This season, the transformations are bigger than ever, including a charming bison farm, a dingy garage turned colourful Scandinavian retreat, a century-old farmhouse transformed into a wedding venue — and, for the first time, a brand-new build.

Cooking with Curtis
Food has an extraordinary ability to comfort, connect and bring people together, and Michelin-starred chef Curtis Stone puts that idea at the heart of the feel-good Cooking with Curtis episodes.
Deserving people are secretly nominated by loved ones for a very special afternoon with Curtis at his Hollywood restaurant, Gwen. What begins as an ordinary meal becomes a surprise invitation into the test kitchen, where they cook alongside Curtis while sharing their personal stories. Each experience culminates in a meal with the person who nominated them — and a special gift to take home.
Tuesdays 18:00 / Saturdays 20:30
