The spotlight will soon be on the Railway City as the Still Standing episode featuring St. Thomas is set to air March 17th on CBC.
Hosted by comedian and Murdoch Mysteries star Jonny Harris, the popular series brings you across Canada highlighting small communities that have faced economic challenges but continue to show resilience.
Harris joined Jamie on myFM in the Morning ahead of the taping in September to talk about his time in the Railway City and what viewers can expect from the episode.
While filming in St. Thomas, Harris explored the city’s deep railway and automotive history, including the impact of the Ford plant closure and the community’s continued efforts to reinvent itself.
The comedian also visited several local landmarks and attractions, including the St. Thomas Dragway, Off Road Addiction, and of course the city’s famous roadside attraction, Jumbo the Elephant Monument.
The episode was filmed during a live taping at the Joe Thornton Community Centre, where Harris performed alongside fellow comedians Graham Chittenden and Nour Hadidi.
The St. Thomas episode of Still Standing airs Tuesday, March 17th at 8:30 p.m. on CBC and CBC Gem.
