 Each film in the "Canada Carries On" series was shown over a six-month period as part of the shorts or newsreel segments in approximately 800 theatres across Canada.The NFB had an arrangement with Famous Players theatres to ensure that Canadians from coast-to-coast could see them, with further distribution by Columbia Pictures.After the six-month theatrical tour ended, individual films were made available on 16 mm to schools, libraries, churches and factories, extending the life of these films for another year or two.
