Surreally Canadian. Fiercely fun. Totally unforgettable. Meet the cast of CANADA SHORE:
BAUER
Hometown: Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
Current residence: Toronto, Ontario
Bauer is the perfect mix of city slick and country grit — a self-proclaimed "golden retriever" with abs and attitude. A competitive athlete turned bodybuilder, he put lacrosse aside to chase the spotlight on CANADA SHORE. The gym isn't just his routine, it's his life — and if it's between date night or a chest pump, the weights usually win…unless Megan Fox calls. His motto? "You win some, you lose most."
CHRISTOPHER
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario
Toronto-born with Jamaican roots and known for his confidence, quick wit, and chaotic charm, Christopher went from scooping ice cream to living for the party and the spotlight. Inspired by icons like Kim Kardashian, Christopher lives for tequila, attention, and unforgettable moments. He joined CANADA SHORE to show there's more to him than a party persona. He's ready to open up, make real connections and prove that behind the wild nights, there's a lot of heart - with a dash of drama.
EMMETT
Hometown: Peterborough, Ontario
Current residence: Vancouver, British Columbia
Emmett is Vancouver's self-proclaimed gym bro with a golden heart and a killer grill game. A pipefitter by trade and bodybuilder by passion, he lives by the motto "Know your limit, play within it" — though he rarely does. Inspired by bodybuilding legend Dorian Yates and crushing hard on Sofia Vergara, Emmett is a lifelong Jersey Shore fan. On CANADA SHORE, he hopes to turn heads, have fun, and prove that muscles and mischief go hand in hand.
EMMY
Hometown: Amherst, Nova Scotia
Current residence: Fredericton, New Brunswick
Aesthetician Emmy is a bubbly and fierce East Coast Pisces who loves her makeup flawless, nails on point, and wine in hand. Her first kiss? Let's just say it happened in a hockey rink hallway - so Canadian! She's pasta-obsessed, a reality TV binge-watcher, and will impress with a hidden talent for the splits. On CANADA SHORE, Emmy's not afraid to stir up a little drama, but she is also ready to make lifelong friends, live it up, and show off her fun-loving, over-the-top personality.
ETHAN
Hometown: Newmarket, Ontario
Current residence: Toronto, Ontario
Ethan rocks Italian, German, and Irish roots, speaks French, and calls himself "The Machine." He's flirty with everyone, can't live without blondes, and swears the ultimate hangover cure is another beer. He also counts a girl with no humour as his biggest ick. Ethan joined CANADA SHORE because, in his words, it's "fkn sick," and he's ready to party hard and leave his mark.
GIZELLE
Hometown: Montego Bay, Jamaica
Current residence: Mississauga, Ontario
An island girl meets city girl, Gizelle's all about anime, bikinis, and unapologetically outspoken TikToks — one of which recently racked up 2.5 million views. Self-described as crazy, sexy, and cool, her friends love teasing her about her man choices. A very proud Jamaican, she's set to rep Caribbean culture, bring the island vibes, and showcase to Canada her bold, unforgettable energy.
ISAIAH
Hometown: Calgary, Alberta
Isaiah, a Caribbean-Dutch-African thrill-seeker, lives and breathes skateboarding… seriously, it's his hobby, indulgence, and inspiration all in one. First kiss? Under a teacher's desk (don't ask). Biggest ick? A girl who likes country music. No Nickelback, thank you very much! With a hidden talent for backflips and Pho as the ultimate hangover cure, Isaiah joined CANADA SHORE because… why the f' not?
KEYAIRA
Hometown: Halifax, Nova Scotia
A dog groomer with big dreams, Keyaira is all about manifesting the luxe life she knows she's meant for. Off the clock, she's busy spoiling her pups: Lola, her Cuban foster, and Rambo, her Golden Lab. When she's not pampering her fur babies, you'll find her working out, jet-setting to new destinations, binging reality TV, or indulging in fancy dinners and cocktails. Keyaira brings Halifax heat to CANADA SHORE with her flirtatious spark and magnetic personality. She's ready to shake things up, make new connections, and turn a few heads along the way.
LILA
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario
Lila doesn't just go to the party; she is the party. Known for her oversized hoops, iconic one-liners, and a laugh you can hear three rooms away, this Italian firecracker lives by the motto "it's shot o'clock somewhere." Loyal, loud, and usually the last one standing (or at least trying to), friends describe Lila as "a walking good time" who turns every hangout into a headline. Whether she's hyping the girls or stirring the pot, one thing's for sure: when Lila's around, there's never a dull moment on CANADA SHORE.
RYLEIGH
Hometown: Bridgewater, Nova Scotia
Ryleigh is a mix of small-town charm and big-city vibes. A marketing girly with a soft heart, wild streak, and dangerous love for tequila. She's mastered the art of balancing her journaling and Sims obsession, with benders and convincing everyone to hit the afters. Known for her quick wit, booty shaking, pong skills, and zero tolerance for BS, she's here to bring the Scotian energy to CANADA SHORE and prove that good karma and bad decisions can absolutely coexist.
Casting for CANADA SHOREkicked off in Spring 2025 with a nationwide call for Canadians bold enough to bring their A-game to the Shore. By the summer, the cameras were rolling in Kelowna, B.C., capturing every sun-soaked, drama-filled moment of this wild first season.

Paramount Global is reportedly planning to close nine channels in Poland and Hungary, including TeenNick and NickMusic.
Although currently unannounced by Paramount Global, a spokesperson for Orange Polska has revealed to wirtualnemedia.pl that the media company has told Polish television operators that they're planning to shutter Nickelodeon channels TeenNick and NickMusic, along with MTV channels MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV 00s, MTV Hits, MTV Live, Club MTV, we well as Polsat Comedy Central Extra, in the region by the end of the year. Representatives from Paramount in Poland declined to comment on this information when reached by satkurier.pl.
In Poland, the music channels MTV 90s, MTV 00s, and MTV Live are broadcast via satellite and are available on Polsat Box and CANAL+. The entertainment-focused Polsat Comedy Central Extra, as well as the children's channels TeenNick and NickMusic, are also available in these platforms' packages.
Update (16/7): Paramount will also be closing 10 channels in Hungary on Wednesday 31st December 2025: Teen Nick, Nick Music, Comedy Central, Paramount Network, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV 00s, MTV Hits, MTV Live HD, and Club MTV. Nickelodeon wise, this will leave Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Nicktoons in the region.
Update (8/8): Paramount is set to close MTV 80s, MTV 00s and Nick Music will be closing in the Benelux region.
Update (29/11): Paramount has reportedly reversed its decision on TeenNick in Hungary, and will keep the channel on-air past December 2025!
Update (31/12): TeenNick and NickMusic channels in select regions, including Romania, have started displaying lower-third banners with scrolling text saying that the channels will shut down on Thursday 1st January 2026.
Last week, zive.sk was the first to report the planned closure of several channels from the Paramount Global portfolio in Slovakia and Hungary, whilst Media Insider reported that Paramount is also planning to close several channels in New Zealand, including Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.
The channel closures come as Paramount is in the midst of cutting operating costs ahead of their merger with Skydance Media, which has also included layoffs and studio closures.
The channels being phased out in Europe have diverse thematic profiles:
TeenNick Polska is aimed at viewers aged 10 to 16, and primarily broadcasts older live-action Nickelodeon series and recent TV movies for tweens and teens. It launched in Poland on September 1, 2021.
NickMusic Polska, featuring popular music for children and teenagers, launched in Poland in June 2021, replacing MTV Music. This station operated from 2017 to 2021 after replacing Viva Polska.
Polsat Comedy Central Extra debuted in March 2020, replacing Comedy Central Family. The channel's offerings includes both international series (Friends, Keeping Up Appearances, Allo, Allo!), as well as reruns of shows from the Polsat TV channel (Świat według Kiepskich, Rodzina zastępcza).
Produced in Poland, MTV 80s began broadcasting in December 2005 as VH1 Classic. In October 2020, it changed its name to MTV 80s and broadcasts music videos from the 80s.
MTV 90s, which was also created in Poland, broadcasts songs from the '90s. It was launched in the fall of 2020, replacing MTV Rocks.
Similarly, MTV 00s, also created by the Polish branch of Paramount Global (then ViacomCBS), plays hits from the noughties. It was launched in August 2021, replacing VHF1 Europe.
MTV Hits launched in Europe (initially in the UK) in 2001. It then replaced MTV Extra. It broadcasts new music videos and recent hits from pop, rock, dance, and R&B music. It has a local version, among others, in France.
Club MTV, featuring dance and club music, launched in the UK in 2001 as MTV Dance. In 2008, it replaced MTV Base on Polish cable networks. In June 2020, MTV Dance changed its name to Club MTV.
MTV Live HD began broadcasting on 15 September 2008 in parts of Europe under the name MTVNHD (MTV-Nickelodeon HD). It was the first international station in high definition dedicated to music videos. Initially, the channel’s programming was divided into two blocks: MTV HD and Nickelodeon HD. However, on 1 July 2011, the channel shifted its focus entirely to live music programming. The station broadcasts music videos, concerts, and entertainment programs. Initially managed by MTVNI's Emerging Markets group, the channel was produced and broadcast from its Warsaw hub until 22 April 2012, when operations moved to Paramount's London headquarters in Hawley Crescent in Camden (occupying the former TV-AM studios).
The channels are part of Paramount Networks Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia (EMEAA), a division of Paramount International Networks which is fully owned by Paramount Global. Most of the closing channels are broadcast in standard definition and are commercial-free.
At the time of posting, the following channels from Paramount Global's portfolio are expected to continue broadcasting in Poland: Nickelodeon, NickToons, and Nick Jr. (live-action and animated TV series and movies for preschoolers, children and teenagers); MTV Polska (entertainment programmes, reality, music); Paramount Network (films and TV series); and Comedy Central (comedies and entertainment programmes).
The company is also a co-owner (along with Comcast) of the SkyShowtime streaming service in Europe. It is possible that, following other markets, it will launch the Pluto TV platform with FAST channels in Poland.
Updates (8/8):
- Five Paramount-operated music channels exited the Foxtel platform in Australia on 30 June 2025: MTV Hits (Ch. 801), Nick Music (Ch. 802), MTV Club (Ch. 803), MTV 80s (Ch. 804), and CMT (Ch. 805). Notably, most of the same music-themed channels—or similar variants such as MTV 00s, MTV 90s, and MTV Hits—are still available on Fetch TV. This round of exits also follows the quiet removal of MTV-branded music channels from 10 Play, where a raft of FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) channels had been supported by Paramount’s Pluto TV. Comedy Central has also closed on Fetch TV;
- CMT Australia shuttered on July 31, following its departure from Foxtel in June.
