Fans of “Big Brother Canada” were saddened to learn last week that production on the eighth season of the made-in-Canada reality hit would be halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Wednesday, Global and Insight Productions announced that, since no winner was declared, the $100,000 prize will be donated to charities responding to COVID-19 via canadahelps.org. “Faced with unprecedented circumstances with regard to COVID-19, production on the season halted early last week under a provincial mandate for all non-essential businesses to close,” states the announcement.
