Five Years in the Life is a Canadian reality television series which aired on CBC Television from 1968 to 1972.
Premise[edit]
The lives of selected Canadian families were profiled in this series with the initial intent to revisit them five years later. However, public interest in the series caused the CBC to revisit featured families more frequently and to profile additional families. Profiled people included an architect, an Inuit artist, a Jamaican immigrant and a lighthouse operator from Newfoundland. The various segments were produced with numerous directors.[1]
