Here's the thing though, I've seen this bridge in an ad for Ontario tourism. You've probably not seen in it Alberta, but it features Molly Johnson singing over a montage of Ontario attractions, and I'm sure this bridge is in that ad.

Hi Mike
I think this is the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver. It could also be the bridge in Collingwood http: //www.sceniccaves.com/flash-index.htm

Has anyone seen the Ontario tourism ads revolving around the slogan "There's no place like this"?

What suspension bridge is in that ad?

It reminds me of the bridge above Montmorency Falls (Quebec)

I recently saw the TV commercial w/ Molly Johnson, but don't recall the bridge as I was focusing more on her singing & thinking about the Kumbaya Festivals she used to have for AIDS featuring all-Canadian line-ups back in the 90's (still have all the t-shirts) http://www.mollyjohnson.com/kumbaya.htm Some of my best concert experiences/memories so far. I remember the similar commercial w/ Jann Arden singing a while ago. I loved that one.

It's definitely not Capilano in N. Vancouver. The forest is all wrong. I assumed when I saw Gord standing in the forest it was for sure back east.

Mike - North Vancouver? - How far north? did you notice the icicles? When do they get icicles in N. Vancouver? Do they last long enough to film a video? - Were those birch trees? Are there birch trees in Vancouver? I thought it was all Douglas fir out there? Actually, where did all the birch trees go in Ontario? I agree with Jill, try Quebec.

this song i believe is about ice caps melting , sung from the Polar bears p o view . the polar bear is forced from it habitat . "yer not comin in" is saying that lakes have no tides , the icicles melting speak for themselves. the actions ogf the Polar Bear reflecyt the lyrics . as if it were improvisionatial dance .

note the Polar Bear wavng good bye at the end of the video . Not to be rude but it is sad that you are missing the meaning of the song and are more considered with where the video was shot . peace .

There are several Vancouver-area locations identifiable in this video:
- Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge: the smaller but less expensive brother of the Capilano suspension bridge.
- Buntzen Lake: the cottage where gord goes near the end was used in the movide :Lake Placis" (about the crocodile).
- Near the beginning the road he's driving that appears across a lake is also in Buntzen Lake;
- he then walks along the road and you can see "McCombe" lake (which is a smaller one nearby)
- he then goes down to the beach which is North Beak on Buntzen Lake

All of the above are very common film shoot locations.
