It will be a fun and exciting summer for the City of Cambridge, with many film productions planned.
Devon Hogue, who is the Business Information Officer for Cambridge, said it has been the busiest for inquiries to date.
"It is also going to be the busiest year for filming on location, so it's something to celebrate for sure."
She said they will be sending out more information next week regarding a film company that will be in town.
The company will be setting up in the Hespeler area and although there haven't been any details released just yet, some road closures will be in effect.
They will also set up a temporary studio to film a food competition show for the entire month of August.
"This is the very first time we have done this in Cambridge, and we are just thrilled to be able to facilitate it," Hogue said.
Murdoch Mysteries will be returning to film its next season, however, they will be shooting at a private property next month.
"Murdoch has always been a community favourite because they engage so well with our population. Although we are still in a pandemic, it will be a little different moving forward," she said, "Still, even the excitement of seeing all the trucks rolling into town really does boost that community pride."
While this is the second summer with COVID-19 restrictions in place, Hogue adds the filming industry has been one of the safest industries.
"In Ontario, there has yet to be an outbreak recorded on a film set. Everyone can take confidence in the fact that they have some excellent health and safety protocols."
When comparing the numbers to the past two years, she said they have seen a 74 per cent jump in filming projects and that's up 22 per cent over 2019, which was the busiest year pre-pandemic.
"It's really fantastic we have seen a lot of interest in filming in Cambridge," she said.
They have seen a 325 per cent increase in days of filming, which is more than what they saw in 2020. They will also be up 143 per cent over 2019. Hogue said that they don't typically get much inquiry for filming in the first half of the year - it's the second half that's considered the "bread and butter season."
Hogue said the city does have a lot to celebrate this summer.
