The series was produced by Boat Rocker Media through its Proper Television division.[4]
The series received three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022, for Best Lifestyle Program or Series, Best Editing in a Documentary Program or Series (Samantha Shields) and Best Direction in a Lifestyle or Information Program or Series (Jessica Nahmias).[5]
