Canadian Adventure Productions started up in 2004 and, since then, has been taking great stories and turning them into great television. These seminal programmes have aired in Canada, the US and Europe for broadcasters such as ABC, Discovery Channel, CBC, Documentary, History and others.

C.A.P is a leader in producing visually stunning signature-event documentaries and series, with uniquely compelling story-lines and gripping narrative. But, to be able to take full advantage of the visual threads inherent in any story, you first need to have walked the walk in order to be able to talk the talk. And there are few companies on the planet that have such an unparalleled background and record of working in extreme environments and high adventure.

Passion, integrity and style are the hallmarks of any C.A.P production and it is our obsession with the quality of our projects that sets them apart.

Ultimately, our belief in the importance of telling great stories is not so much a expression of what we do...as who we are.
