Camera Canada was the title the CBC gave to a series of documentary films on contemporary Canada, scheduled periodically throughout the broadcast year. They appeared monthly, approximately, and were often placed into a time slot on Monday evenings. According to Executive Producer Thom Benson, the series spun out of four documentary specials, on the Stratford Festival, Canadian folk music, Dominion Day, and the Calgary Stampede, which the CBC presented over summer 1960.
