Canadian Love Map

In this “From the Archives” episode, 102‑year‑old Joy looks back on a lifetime of love.

From her whirlwind postwar romance and 38‑year marriage to her husband Jack, to the deep bonds she’s formed through decades of community service. At its heart, this is a story about how love, service, and joy can ripple out to touch countless lives.

Presented by Charm Diamond Centres

In this heartwarming “From the Archives” episode, we welcomed award‑winning singer‑songwriter Bruce Guthro, his daughter Jodi, and the “glue” of the family, Kim.

From Cape Breton kitchen parties to songwriter circles and Nashville song camps, the Guthrows share how love, family, and song have shaped their lives. Featuring an intimate, emotional father‑daughter duet, this is a musical love story that proves some melodies (and some families) are forever.

In this heartwarming “From the Archives” episode of Canadian Love Map, we revisit Alicia and Scott. 

Alicia and Scott return to the Canadian Love Map to share how one woman’s kindness movement changed a whole town, how Alicia’s raw vulnerability and self‑love message have transformed lives across generations, and how humour, loyalty, and financial resilience have shaped their 15‑year love story. This heartfelt conversation dives into body image, authentic connection, giving back, and the joy of building a “charmed” life together.

In this heartwarming “From the Archives” episode of Canadian Love Map, we revisit Alicia and Scott. 

One year after Scott’s unforgettable on-air proposal. Nancy checks in on how life has changed since that magical moment, from Alicia’s meteoric rise as a body-positive creator (anding a national Penningtons campaign and a TV role) to Scott’s reluctant but growing social media stardom. Together, they share behind-the-scenes stories of the engagement ring surprise, a new anniversary band, and the community of kindness and support that has bloomed around their love story.

Ted and Lillian’s story was the very first episode of Canadian Love Map and it remains one of our all-time best.

In this special rerun from our best of love map, we celebrate their 52-year marriage: a love that began as childhood friends in Halifax, survived years apart on different continents, and flourished through military postings, life in Montreal and Germany, and a home in Halifax that welcomed everyone. Through Ted’s memories of his fearless, independent “Chief” and the rituals he still keeps to honour her, this episode is a tender portrait of a love that end...

In the final chapter of the Canadian Love Map, Nancy and producer Rhys look back on six years, ten seasons, and more than 250 stories of love from across Canada.

From Joy’s late-life mission to Bruce Guthro’s musical legacy, surprise proposals, and retirement-home romance, they reflect on the moments that became “audio warm hugs” for listeners and on the lasting impact of sharing real, heart-to-heart conversations. Special thanks to Charm Diamond Centres for making this love-filled journey possible.
