HGTV CANADA ORIGINAL SCOTT'S VACATION HOUSE RULES DELIVERS MORE DREAM ESCAPES IN SEASON 2 BEGINNING MAY 16

Scott's Vacation House Rules returns for a second season of playful designs, challenges and surprises on Sunday, May 16, 2021, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, on Corus Entertainment Inc.'s HGTV Canada. In the Corus Studios original series, real estate expert and contractor Scott McGillivray teaches homeowners how to make smart investments and renovation decisions that turn uninspired cottage properties into profitable vacation rentals. The brand new season is enhanced with an array of integrations from series sponsors CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce), Behr, Pollard, Rockwool and Lowe's, providing remarkable transformations and tips.

Using years of real estate investing and renovation experience, Mr. McGillivray and his design partner, Debra Salmoni, unlock the rental potential of even the most tired, dated and rundown spaces and transform them into unique and valuable vacation hot spots. Scott's Vacation House Rules paves the ultimate road map for renovation and rental success by following a set of simple rules, including doing thorough research, picking and sticking to a design style, and investing some sweat equity. This time around, viewers see Mr. McGillivray creating a family-friendly cottage with a fun game space, a five-star winter retreat, a breathtaking beach house and more. This all-new season proves that dream escapes do not require international travel; they are awaiting guests in Canada's backyard -- and turning a profit for their owners.

CIBC continues its multiyear partnership with HGTV Canada and Mr. McGillivray as one of the leading series sponsors. The financial institution provides viewers with helpful tips on how to make the most of their own home investments through digital content on the HGTV Canada website and weekly videos posted on HGTV Canada's social media platforms, in addition to organic integrations throughout the show.

Official paint supplier of HGTV Canada, Behr joins the series for a variety of in-show integrations and appearances on the HGTV Canada website. Mr. McGillivray and Ms. Salmoni show viewers how to transform rundown vacation properties into dream destinations by revitalizing furniture with paint, creating statement walls and instilling lakeside appeal with Behr paint on home exteriors.

Pollard brightens private retreats with its leading technology in window and door solutions, allowing for tailored design and breathtaking views within stunning properties.

As the official insulation supplier of HGTV Canada, Rockwool showcases its multitasking residential stone wool insulation products in applications from floor to ceiling to walls.
