Today's love story belongs to Dani and her parents, Alison and Bryan, who also happened to be the inspiration for her now famous cocktail called The Liquid Love Letter.

Before Dani came along, Alison and Bryan were a young couple who decided to part ways. But when they both travelled to Guatemala for separate solo adventures, Bryan decided to write a love letter to Alison to get her back. Bryan's letter worked, and their trips turned into a romantic new beginning that led to their 36 year marriage.

Now, their daughter Dani has earned a top 30 finalist position in the World Class bartending competition and entered the national competition as an alternate.

As we enter 2023, we're asking Canadians all about New Year's resolutions and their approach to the new year. Are they an opportunity for self-improvement? Or an invitation for disappointment? A lot like love itself, we learn that when it comes to resolutions, everyone is different.

This week's love story is a bit of a departure from our regular fare. In fact, it's a place of departures. Hospice is a special approach to palliative or end of life care. And it encompasses not just the physical, but also emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their loved ones.

Hospice Halifax is a compassionate and supportive community of staff, volunteers, and donors dedicated to making dying and living as comfortable and as meaningful as possible at the end of life.

We meet Mackenzie (Fund Development Manager) and Kate (Registered Nurse) to learn about all the love behind hospice care, and how they are helping to shine a light, in the dark.

We all know the common phrase, "When one door closes, another one opens". Sometimes the hardest times in our lives can actually lead us to a more authentic path.

This week's love story belongs to Steve Lund, a Canadian actor who you may know from such shows as Bitten, Street Legal and Schitt's Creek. He's currently starring in two holiday movies on a small screen near you: Christmas Bedtime Stories, and Six Degrees of Santa.

Halina was a physiotherapist who felt a calling towards a more artistic life. Her decision to follow that calling and live a more authentic life led her to meeting Jay, an Ojibway First Nation self-taught artist.

This week's story is a labour of love...literally. It belongs to Eduardo, Omar, and Christina.   Eduardo and Omar are a couple living in Spain who wanted to start a family. Meanwhile, here in Canada, Christina felt called to help a couple create one. She has two children of her own, and always knew she wanted to try surrogacy. The trio formed a close connection instantly, as they bonded virtually with a whole ocean in between them. 9 months, baby Ruth entered the world. But the friendship didn't end there.   What started out as the ultimate act of kindness, ended not only in the creation of a beautiful family, but a unique bond and lifelong friendship between three people.   Hosted by Nancy Regan

Our healthiest relationships happen when we are the best versions of ourselves. But they can also happen while we continue that journey.

Today's love story belongs to Jay and Sebastian from Toronto. They became friends when they were younger, through Jay's family's business. Then an innocent crush developed into a romantic relationship. Jay, life coach and certified Reiki master & mindfulness guide, has earned a following of over 300k followers across social media with her online brand Every Jay Living.

Jay helps inspire others to love themselves through uplifting and educational content, and healing sessions. But she wouldn't be able to do it all without the support from Sebastian.

Sometimes we forget that home is not about physical things, it's the people you are with. And sometimes, their safety is all you need.

Today's love story belongs to Anna and Valeriia, two Ukrainian sisters. They left their home in Odessa, the day the war started, and eventually made their way to Canada. Here, the sisters have rebuilt their lives, along with their teenage sister and Anna's young son.

This story encompasses sorrow, but also a surprising amount of joy. Filled with immense strength, resilience, and many skills they gained in Ukraine, they are both thriving in their careers and enjoying their new Canadian home. It even seemed meant to be, as Valeiira landed a job with Strongest Families, helping fellow Ukrainians navigate mental health challenges as they arrive in Canada.

Is it possible to make a meaningful romantic connection in just 6 minutes? According to our guest, matchmaker and dating coach Jean-Eva Dickie, you can.

In the world of modern dating, it can be easy to stay in our comfort zone and stick to the convenience of online dating. But beautiful things can happen when you get out of your comfort zone.

Speed Dating events get people off their phones and in front of potential matches. It's a fast and formulaic approach that gives singles the confidence and tools to help them navigate the modern, and sometimes frustrating, dating world.

In a special Insights edition of Canadian Love Map, Jean-Eva Dickie tells us all about how it works, why it works and everything in between.

You might be familiar with the idiom “you can't go home again”, but whoever wrote that clearly wasn't from Newfoundland.

This week's love story belongs to Chris and Christina, who are husband and wife, best friends and business partners in brewing.

They met in junior high and later in life bonded over their love of home brewing. Life sent them on separate paths, but their passion for beer brought them back together.

Today's love story belongs to Kimberley and Manuel. 

Their love story is an international tale that started with heartbreak and ended in an unexpected love match...in mid air.

It all started on an airplane. Kimberly was returning to Canada after a needed trip to Mexico, while Manuel was flying to Canada on his way to Iceland. Their paths crossed by chance, but their connection seemed to be meant to be.

Their union felt like a fantasy, with lots of tropical trips and romantic adventures. But of course, reality presented some complications along the way. 

Through it all, they always came back to each other.

Today's love story belongs to Jen and Brian, two transplanted East Coasters living in Peterborough, Ontario.

The pair were smitten with eachother in their high school years, and life eventually sent them in other directions. But sometimes certain sparks never die. The two kept in touch and became closer when Brian reached out to support Jen through a tough time.

After reconnecting via distance, Jen took a leap of faith and made the move to Ontario, which prompted some chance circumstances that led her to a breast cancer diagnosis.

On the Canadian Love Map, we've heard about weddings of all kinds, both extravagant and intimate. Whether it's a ceremony in front of hundreds of people, or tying the knot privately under a palm tree, the common thread is love.

In a very our first LOVE INSIGHTS episode, we step into the world of the wedding industry, from the perspective of the people responsible for capturing one of the most important days in their client's lives.

Weddings aren't always smooth sailing. So when the seas get choppy, it's often the role of the professionals involved to take the helm and steer the proceedings back to peaceful waters. We'll hear what this looks like from the point of view of two very different companies who offer very different services to their clients. We find out what they've learned about love through capturing it.

Arrow & Knot built itself on a passion for storytelling through video. Kristen and Jane met while studying Broadcast Journalism, where they brought stories to life through their extensive training in film, editing, and of course, storytelling. Arrow & Knot has a style that is distinctive from anyone else. They produce quality cinematic videos that are timeless and clean, and are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on its viewers.  

Elope Halifax provides stress-free and meaningful small wedding and elopement packages in Halifax. ​They help simplify the process, so couples can concentrate on the love and not the planning. Tyler uses his photography skills to capture magical moments of the day, while Jennie officiates and tailors each ceremony to fit the personality of their clients, whether that be lighthearted or traditional.

This power couple would describe their love story as nothing special. But to many who have been blessed to know them, they are icons.

Today's love story belongs to Neville and David from Nova Scotia. Neville is a renowned florist and public speaker. David is a travelling hairstylist and talented musician. Together, they own and operate My Mother's Bloomers, a well-loved flower shop.

Growing up, they both lived through the AIDS epidemic and experienced some of the first Pride marches, when things were quite different. Their relationship began at a time when the world was not so accepting of their love. 

Despite this, they live very public lives, spreading a message of love, acceptance, and kindness wherever they go. This dynamic duo has been together for nearly three decades later, and are still standing proud.

Today's love story belongs to Yolande from Shediac, New Brunswick.

This mother and grandmother held on to a secret for decades: the buried memory of a pregnancy and birth that wasn't cause for celebration. In fact, it was mired in pain.

But one day, on the heels of her retirement, a registered letter arrived that changed Yolande's life and led her back to the child she'd left behind.

Now she's written a book that will help thousands of others who've walked the same path. It's called Long-Lost Mom: My Journey Out Of Hiding

This week's love story belongs to James Mullinger - a talented comedian from across the pond, who has stolen the hearts of many Canadian fans.

James had a dream job at GQ magazine in the UK but ended up following his heart into comedy. Then he made another unexpected move and followed his wife to Canada, chasing happiness instead of fame.

Now, James has it all - a loving wife and kids, a home in a welcoming small town and a successful career in comedy and with his magazine The Maritime Edit. It's all thanks to his move to St. John, New Brunswick. His story is proof that sometimes the most unexpected choices we make, can turn out to be the best.

In his latest memoir "Brit Happens", James gives us a glimpse behind the scenes of his whirlwind of life story up...up until now.

Community goes beyond the physical walls and structures it contains. It lives in the traditions, memories and stories of the many people who lived there. The emotions they shared and the photographs taken.
