 ==Attraction History==
-The first information released about the project that would eventually become Canada Far and Wide, came at the 2017 D23 Expo. At this time, Disney announced that updated films would be coming to both the [[China]] and [[Canada]] pavilions as a part of [[Epcot]]'s continuing transformation <ref> https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/walt-disney-world-news/canadas-circle-vision-film-at-epcot-will-be-updated/ </ref>. While President of Imagineering Bob Chapek noted that the film would be updated, it was not clear at this time whether this change would be an update to the pavilion's current attraction [[O'Canada]], or a new film entirely.

While discussing the filming of Canada Far and Wide, Colabelli explained:
 {{Quotation|“We spent a good portion of one year scouting so when we decided to actually film in a location, we knew what was the shot that we wanted to get. And then when we actually went onto location and we did a full execution of the shot, in past iterations of the film they had a very finite amount of time to get into a helicopter, get the shot, and if they didn’t get the shot then they had to rethink it. With digital, we had so many opportunities to reset the air. The greatest part of this project is we set out to get one shot and usually came home with many, many more. So that was great for our camera team.”<ref name="laughing"/>.}}
-One holdover from the O' Canada attraction was the film's signature song, Canada (You're a Lifetime Journey). According to Fitzgerald, the song remained as  it was a part of "the DNA" of the attraction, and something that guests loved<ref name="laughing"/>. For Canada Far and Wide, the Eva Avila vocals from the previous film's version of Canada (Lifetime of Journeys) was retained, while new music was added by the attraction's composer Steven Price<ref name="laughing"/>.
