Canadian crews here.

Note: As per Scott Young's book, "The Boys of Saturday Night", this was a season where the host role was a bit of a revolving door. Tom Foley would host the main game across Canada, while a set of six different men would take a crack at the host role for the regional game. The hosts for these games listed are unconfirmed.
