Netflix in Your Neighbourhood provides a window into some of the Canadian cities and towns that have enriched films and series, and captivated audiences worldwide. Visitors can search filming locations by a film or series title, or by province. Fans can also access directions to these destinations, and see how they’ve been featured on Netflix.

Netflix has filmed hundreds of productions across Canada and the site will feature some current highlights, as well as select new titles, once they are released.

Several productions were filmed in the Okanagan, benefiting communities by creating jobs and investments in local businesses while also creating a desire among our members to visit the area and learn more about the place, food, wilderness, and culture.
