The popular CBC TV show Still Standing, which explores Canadian small towns and seeks humor in unexpected places, is set to film in Armstrong, North Okanagan, Canada, this month. The show recently wrapped its 11th season on March 17, 2026, and the community is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming filming.
On April 14, 2026, the public is invited to attend a free night of comedy featuring Jonny Harris, the show’s host. The Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “We are so excited to welcome the team from Still Standing to Armstrong.” This event promises to bring laughter and joy to the local community.
In a related development, Savannah Guthrie has returned to NBC’s Today show after a more than two-month break. Having been a host since 2012, her return has been met with relief and joy from fans. Guthrie expressed her feelings about coming back, saying, “It is good to be home,” and added, “I want to smile, and when I do, it will be real.” Her personal journey has captivated viewers, especially amid the ongoing search for her missing family member, Nancy Guthrie, for whom the Guthrie family has offered a $1 million reward for information about her whereabouts.
Meanwhile, the documentary Behind the Castle Doors: the Origin of the Hilarious House of Frightenstein, produced and directed by Tammy Heisel and Morgan Baker, continues to gain attention. Filming for this documentary began in 2022, and Heisel remarked, “It was the kind of show that was so unique that it left a lasting impression on everyone who watched it.” This highlights the enduring impact of classic television shows on Canadian culture.
As the filming of Still Standing approaches, local businesses and residents are preparing for the influx of visitors and media attention. The event is expected to not only showcase the charm of Armstrong but also to promote the rich tapestry of Canadian small-town life.
Observers anticipate that the event will strengthen community ties and boost local tourism. The excitement surrounding the filming of Still Standing is palpable, with many hoping it will bring lasting benefits to the area.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional events or appearances related to the filming. However, the community is rallying together to ensure a warm welcome for the production team and the audience attending the comedy night.
