O Canada (With Glowing Hearts) 1979 national anthem film 

Hearing this version of O Canada meant that I was up too late.

I remember when tv stations would shut down at night and played this at the end of their programming day. Seemed like much simpler and happier times back then.

My Grandma came to Canada with my parents from HK and made Canada my home. Born and raised in Vancouver... A BC boy, I will always remember this Canadian anthem clip which I watched on TV since I was a kid. thank you Canada for everything! I love this country with all my heart!!!

As an American who loves his National Anthem, this rendition of O Canada...dare I say it's the G.O.A.T.!

In France tonight. I'm homesick. I love my Canada, my beloved home.

Little girl hugging little brother at the very end.... one of the most beautiful things that I ever saw on my tiny 12 inch analog tv screen here in Erie, Pennsylvania, USA

I always loved how diligent the horse looks when it runs..so cute

The confused miner and slime baby are forever entrenched in my memory. I love this.

I can't listen to this version of O Canada without tearing up

I saw this during the summer months in my bedroom here in Erie, Pennsylvania, USA. God Bless Analog Television.

I miss this version of Canada. :( I also miss this version of CBC.

I can't believe that the iconic 1979 film made by The National Film Board Of Canada's "O Canada (With Glowing Hearts)" is turning 40 this year!

Everything about this arrangement is just absolutely perfect musically..not a single off note, inspiring, passionate, clean. Just beautiful. My favorite rendition since i was a lil girl

This to me is my childhood and morning cartoons (it was also the sign-in). I saw it for the first time in about i don't know, 25 years or so, about a year ago and i basically broke down crying. It was like an instant warp machine to happier days. Im not gonna lie, i never thought our national anthem was very good, but this is THE best version ive heard anywhere. Towards the end specifically, pretty epic. Beautiful recording of it.

Im not yet a Canadian, just arrived here in Ottawa 9 months ago,......all I can say is: I LOVE CANADA! I LOVE this country more than than any other place in the WORLD! Im so glad I made the BEST Choice! May CANADA be blessed as always.

This is Canada defined in 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Childhood!!! Morning sign-on and off at night!! I miss the old days! I like most would relive my childhood! We had it the best!!!

The two young children at the end are heart-warming and precious. They represent the future of a proud nation.

I still remember back in the 1970s and into the 80s when they played it in the movie theatres and on TV (Novacoma is right). This is such a beautiful rendition of the song, especially when the little Girl hugs her Brother!

This is my favorite remembrance of TV from days gone by. How I wish that we could return to quality programming such as this. Thank you for posting this example!

I'm from Watertown NY in northern Ny where we would get Canadian TV stations and when I was a kid this used to come on either early in the morning or late at night, I can't remember, but watching it now brings a tear to me eye. Great respect for Canada!

My favourite rendition.....I will listen to it many more times and I am not Canadian.......just fond of great music

This is my all-time favorite "O Canada"! God, I love this country!!!

I recall this while residing in Detroit.CBET-TV 9 Windsor would sign off with this anthem then follow with vertical colour test bars and call sign/tv channel/24 hour digital time below test bars in lower right hand corner of screen.

I remember watching this as a little girl every morning in the summer when the channel signed on. I was always the only one awake at that time and the sun would be just coming up. Watching this at that hour always seemed so happy and magical. I especially liked the kids at the end. I wish I could go back to that time when we took pleasure in simple things!

as a kid..when i can't sleep i watched tv with my parents..& this always seems to put me to sleep.. my childhood memories... Canada has the BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM (music & lyrics are uplifting)

I haven't heard a better rendition than this one

Always laughed at that kid at the end strangling his sibling with love!

When I was residing in Detroit, I would watch CBET-TV 9 in Windsor and this would be played at the end of their broadcast day. It would be followed by the colour bars and in the lower right hand corner of screen would be the call letters with 24-hour digital real time under it.

The visuals for this are burned into my psyche more then any other rendition. Happy memories.

I remember one night, i tuned in to Channel 56 (PBS-Detroit) and they did their weekly sign off and played this after the SSB.

Loved watching this growing up. Still gives shivers down my spine.

We need this back again

My favourite version of the anthem. I haven't seen it in years. Shows the length and breadth of our country and the people. Beautiful!

One of the most epic matchings of music to film I've ever seen.Just majestic.

I remember when they used to play this in the movie theaters. God I sound old!

This is the anthem that reminds me how fantastic Canada is and how much more it could be.

This version makes me feel all hitchy in my chest. It makes me feel a sense of loss - almost like the best of Canada is past and will never return.

Every kid in my neighbourhood wanted to be a high jumper after watching the dramatic Greg Joy silver medal.

Amazingly beautiful. This bring me back to my childhood in the 1980s at the end of the day when TV stations were closing. The music and the image are so perfect and touching

This brings me back to my early teen years when I would stay up till wee hours of the morning, and watching this on CBC right before the went off the air and before I went to sleep. I love Canada, we are truly the greatest nation in the world!

I remember watching this after TV stations went off the air at night. Fond memories.

the slimy baby finale is iconic. le bebe gluant de la fin est une icône

I love this version, brings back Canadian pride from when I was a kid, watching Alex Baumann win gold for Canada in the 1984 LA Games!

My country I love so much never forgeting my country 🇨🇦

My absolute favorite rendition of this wonderful song !

Great dramatical instrumental

First gen Canadian immigrant here... I moved to Canada recently and I must say it is the best country on earth for sure... Of course it has its issues like every country, but it's the best.. Love Canada :flag_ca:

Man I was like 5 in 85 and remember getting goosebumps watching this video on tv

I love this version of the anthem and I remember that Montreal traffic cop from the 60s !!!

AHHH YES - the best version ever. I remember this one as a child. And of course Greg Joy clearing the bar in the high jump in the last day of competition in the 1976 Montreal Olympics (that had the nation on edge as we wanted a gold medal - that we never got unfortunately) - Canada - it's a great country !!!

Happy Canada Day to our northern neighbors!

The busy street scene is definitely Montreal, as their is an ad for The Gazette evident in the background, in that paper's lovely old font.

I remember that part, so sweet!

It brings tears to my eyes every time! Anything that makes you FEEL and reminds you that you are indeed a human being is absolutely wonderful.

The high dive and the music perfect timing still get chills. So hapyy i grew up in a Canada before the monsters took over.

This is a great version of O Canada. I heard my first foreign national anthem as a kid when CBW 990 was ending its broadcast day. It was fun listening to the hourly weather forecasts (in Celsius). This version is more majestic than the older version I remember playing on CBW growing up in Kansas. Vic Vogel's version has definitely grown on me. :)

Happy 151 my dear Canada, I miss you during the summer months, this brought a tear to my eye

from US to Canada I salute to are faithful allies!

I watched this video 6 months ago for good old memories & to share it w/my wife (Russian). With the Olympics spirits, there I am, wanting to watch it & hear it again... It is in my opinion the nicest and most overwhelming version of our anthem. I remember watching it "so many years ago" once a week and being overwhelmed until the last seconds' symbolism of fraternity (older brother holding younger). Pls keep it there as I'll search it again later :-)thks so much.

Oh, that kiss is just perfection!

Even though the comments on this stopped over 3 years ago, I only recently stumbled across this and remember when I grew up in Windsor, Ontario, they would show this version at the movie theater when I was a kid before the movie started. Everyone stood up like they were expected to even though nobody was actually taking names. Oh, different times. I think they stopped in the late 80's (I was a teen then).

Ma jeunesse en attendant les dessins animés, wow vraiment de bon souvenir. Merci pour le post

There's something so comforting about this arrangement. So easy to fall asleep after hering this then the off the air chime. ❤😂

Grew up with this version on French Canadian tv CBC.. good times! Originally from Montreal but had the chance to work in Ontario (near Toronto) and in Nunavut (Iqaluit) for many years.. always been proud to be Canadian

I grew up with this version and love it very much. Thanks for sharing. :))

The last shot he won the silver medal on the last day of the Montreal Olympics

The maple leaf forever will remain the true anthem.

the best!!!! i remember the video too. great time

Greatest country on Earth right there, folks! God bless Canada!

This is the version of O Canada that they would play over the PA system everyday in my Public School….still my favourite version ❤️🇨🇦

I remember watching this version as a kid!!!! So koool to watch it again!!!!

Definitely my fave arrangement of our anthem. Powerful stuff indeed.

I must have seen this any number of times from across the river in Detroit. Great stuff!

I am quite sure one of my childhood schools must have recorded this version for the morning anthem because I clearly remember it.

silver for Greg Joy at the BigO 1976...I was a kid, I’ll never forget that jump. Dig the cop and the miner on the phone and the great expanses...ahhh, times when everything wasn’t in yer face bombastic, some smart cookie develops a 70’s retro subdivision I’m buying...

I remember the movie theatres playing this at the beginning of each movie.

Happy 150th birthday to our northern neighbors!

This version was the sign off for TVO.

Classic, classic version of the national anthem.

AHAHA me too. When my mom let me watch late night tv and forgot I was still watching into the wee hours in the morning (cause she fell asleep) I knew it was time to go to bed when this film came on. And too this day I didn't know who was the guy who did the pole vault : Greg Joy. Thanks for posting!!

Haven't seen this video in decades. Great memories of my childhood!

I love my Canada!

The best version ever composed..brings me back to falling asleep in front of TV and waking up to this video remiding me time to go to bed.. thank you for posting.

Oh Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. Car ton bras sait porter l'épée, il sait porter la croix! Ton histoire de t'une épopée des plus brillants exploits. God keep our land glorious and free! Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee! Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

Musically, I'd say this is the best version I've heard in my life so far. I haven't heard a great electric guitar version of the anthem yet (just some mediocre to good ranged stuff).

Hi, Robotsea2009. I'm Corey, and I just subscribed to your Chanel. I remember when this version of o Canada was bailing played when the days tv programming was signing off the air . And i think it was the best version of o Canada, I've seen other versions of the national anthem being played over the years, but this one was the best. As for the woman diver diving off the diving tower, it is Janet nutter. I met her once in Fredericton, new Brunswick, during special Olympics in 1985. I say bring this version of o Canada back. Corey Hansen.

@thames5 Ok, i'll be more precise, I just listen to it from my audio tape. The TOTAL LENGTH is 28 minutes and 20 seconds. So, it's a half an hour documentary. In french, the film was narrated by the late Leo Ilial.

OMG, I remember this video/commercial. If I remember correctly, it was shown before a movie played in the Movie Theatre.

There is a scene of the old Montreal Forum (1925-1968) 00:45. Laments for what used to be a great hockey team and a great place to play hockey (sniff).

I would like to know where all these people are now including that girl diving that would be interesting

I wish that I knew the names of the children at the end, so that I may thank them for bringing joy to my home for many, many nights during the summer. I would love to contact them through Facebook.

I'm guessing a few Saskatchewan TV stations (like CKCK-TV in Regina and CBC Saskatoon) used this during sign-on/sign-off, right?

The police officer directing traffic at 0:31 reminds me of Julian Fantino.

I'm abroad, miss my country.

The national anthem was broadcasted on CBC in English and SRC in French in 1970's and 1980's

I'd definitely use this for a station if near Canada or in Canada when it leaves the air.

This is the version of Disney Sing Along Songs: Flik's Musical Adventure at Jordon's Animal Kingdom: Special Edition Disc 1 Main Menu including the national anthem of Canada

It was used by animation in 1980's during sign on and off

That’s beautiful music 👍🏾👍🏾
