RFP SCOPE In 2025, FCC launched an initiative to develop a multi-channel brand activation platform to celebrate the food, land, and people who grow Canada’s future. It aims to support four strategic goals:

Inspire pride across Canada  Attract the next generation of talent  Grow demand in domestic and global markets  Increase investment in Canadian ag and food  

The brand that was developed as part of the initiative is “Let’s Grow Canada” in English and “On sort du rang” in French. Let’s Grow Canada is not a campaign, it’s a national movement that unites producers, industry, and Canadians behind a stronger, prouder Canadian ag and food identity. In early 2026 the initiative launched a digital platform at letsgrowcanada.ca / onsortdurang.ca to serve as the online hub for content and storytelling. One of the key channels for telling Canada’s ag and food stories is short-form documentary style video. In fall 2025, FCC completed an initial round of video content capture and production to produce video assets for the launch event, the digital platform, and social media.

FCC is now seeking video production vendors that can deliver video production capabilities to support the ongoing needs of the initiative. FCC intends to broaden its video asset library, with the goal of producing a limited number of short-form documentary style videos and leveraging captured footage for ongoing content creation across social media channels, events and the digital platform. This approach will ensure a steady stream of engaging, high-quality stories that continue to build momentum for the movement and strengthen the visibility of Canadian agriculture and food. FCC recently undertook video production activities in Northern Canada. As future production needs evolve, there may be occasions where filming in northern or remote regions is required; however, such work is not guaranteed.
