Marie-Soleil was a Canadian children's television show in the 1980s and early 1990s, which aired on many stations associated with the CTV Television Network.[1] The show, starring children's entertainer Suzanne Pinel, used stories and songs to teach French to anglophone kids.[2]
The series was initially produced by Mid-Canada Communications for the MCTV stations in Northern Ontario in 1984,[3] and shot in Sudbury;[4] however, as a resident of Ottawa, Pinel found travelling to Sudbury on a regular basis to film the show difficult to reconcile with raising her children, so after a single season it went on hiatus before production was relaunched on Ottawa's CJOH-TV in 1987.[4]
The puppet character, an English-speaking dog named Fergus, was played by Jon Park-Wheeler.[4] There was also a clown named Samuel, played by Suzanne Lalonde, who spoke with sign language for the hearing impaired.[4]
