The popular TV series 'Adventures in Rainbow Country' was filmed
in Birch Island and in the La Cloche area in 1969. The series was produced by
Manitou Productions of Toronto. It continues to run on the TVLand specialty
channel.
A reunion for this show was held in Whitefish Falls August 11-13, 2006. Many of the ex-cast and crew attended and a good time was had by all.
It was a good opportunity to renew acquaintances and meet the cast and crew. Denis Belton did an outstanding job of organizing the reunion and his short film was a highlight of the weekend.
The series of 26 episodes was created and produced by William
Davidson and the Executive Producer was Ralph C. Ellis. The regular cast was
Stephen Cottier as Billy Williams, Buckley Petawabano as Pete Gawa, Susan
Conway as Hannah Williams,
Albert Millaire as Roger Lemieux, Wally Koster as Dennis Mogubgub, Alan Mills as
Dougall McGregor, Lois Maxwell as Nancy Williams and John Sadowski as Officer
Nixon.
