Sheryl Thompson and her family have always joked about going on a show like Family Feud Canada.

The thing is, she香蕉视频直播檚 not the kind of person to not follow through on an idea like that.

Somebody at CBC must have enjoyed it, because after a few interviews and Zoom meetings, they asked Thompson if she and the family could come to Toronto for filming in September.

The Roberts family also stood out because they wore their traditional Cedar hats and regalia on the show, which was Thompson香蕉视频直播檚 idea.

香蕉视频直播淚 wanted to do something different,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Though they did not win, they did get $200 each from Family Feud Canada. They decided that since they were already in Toronto they would do some things that they always wanted to do like watch a Blue Jays game and visit Niagara Falls.

Thompson香蕉视频直播檚 favourite part of the experience was coming home to people in the community who were excited about the local exposure on TV.
