The Canadian version of HGTV superstars Erin and Ben Napier’s HOME TOWN TAKEOVER arrives next month.
Hosted by Bryan and Sarah Baeumler, HOME TOWN TAKEOVER CANADA premieres Sunday, Oct. 25.
“HOME TOWN TAKEOVER took on its first small town transformation in 2020,” RTR Media, the production company behind the series, shared on Instagram. “Three towns later, we couldn’t be more proud to carry @erinapier and @scotsman.co vision of supporting small towns everywhere.”
“Watch as National treasures @bryanbaeumler and @sarahbaeumler take on Port Alberni, Vancouver Island,” the group’s post added. “We can’t wait for you to meet the wonderful people of this beautiful place.”
The new series sees the Baeumlers undertake a “full-scale small-town revitalization, transforming homes, businesses and public spaces while breathing new life into a deserving Canadian community.”

Due to legal reasons, the Napiers couldn’t host, so they passed the baton to the Baeumlers, fellow HGTV personalities.
“Our production company is Canadian. The people who make our show, they’re passionate about this Canadian takeover. But, because we are Americans, we are not legally allowed to host the show. We can only be in it as, like, guest stars,” Erin told Cinema Blend before the Baeumlers were announced as hosts.
“Yeah, a Canadian broadcast show has to be hosted by Canadian talent. 90%; I think 90 was the number. I thought it was just a majority,” Ben explained. “We know who it is, and I can say that we really like them. It’s another husband and wife team.”
Fans can be confident the Baeumlers will do a great job.
“We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with HGTV and shine a light on the Canadian stories we know viewers love,” said Bryan and Sarah in a press release. “From developing two brand-new series to stepping into the role of hosts for HOME TOWN TAKEOVER CANADA, this slate reflects everything we love about what we do — celebrating communities and helping people reimagine what’s possible in their spaces.”
HOME TOWN TAKEOVER CANADA is produced by RTR Media in association with HGTV. Along with guest appearances from the Napiers, the show will also feature Sarah Keenleyside, Andy Hay, Emily Michelle, Ashley Callingbull and more.
While the Napiers will still appear on-screen as guest stars, the heart of the new series belongs to the Baeumlers and the Port Alberni community they’re set to transform. HOME TOWN TAKEOVER CANADA premieres Oct. 25 on HGTV or streaming on CityTV+.
