TV series rescues four houses from the wrecking ball for W Network’s renovation-reality show

Great Pacific Media of Vancouver has recently completed production on the new W Network series “Game of Homes”. The series follows four teams as they renovate four rundown houses, reviving them into dream homes as they compete for the grand prize of a home and a plot of land to put it on. Great Pacific has donated more than $100,000 in furniture, bedding and electronics from The Brick to BC Housing for distribution to charities throughout the region.

“The television and film sector creates thousands of jobs across the lower mainland and also contributes to our region in other ways.” according to Blair Reekie, President of Great Pacific.  “We purchase wardrobe, building supplies and furniture which boosts the local economy, and then try to deliver these goods back to the community.”

“We’d like to see every local production reach out to non-profit organizations to take advantage of wardrobe and furniture which could assist those in need.” Adds Blair Reekie.

The action-based series pits each team’s skill, ingenuity and teamwork against each other. In each episode, two expert judges along with a celebrity guest judge including Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot from W Network’s Love It or List It Vancouver, and Drew and Jonathan Scott from the Property Brothers vote for their favourite room renovations based on design and workmanship. In the finale, in addition to the judges, the public will cast their vote.  The winners will be revealed and awarded with the house they have renovated and a piece of land to put it on.

Produced by Great Pacific Media in association with W Network, Vancouver based “Game of Homes” includes eight one-hour episodes and is scheduled to air in March 2015.
