‘Big Brother Canada’ Season 11 contestants: Meet the houseguests

Big Brother Canada is back for its 11th season, and it looks like it’s going to be a mysterious one.

Filled with secrets, twists and turns and plenty of drama, each #BBCAN11 houseguest will be painted a suspect in a diabolical game of whodunit.

And, of course, there’s a new cast of 16 eager Canadians getting set to enter the Big Brother House Manor.

Premiering March 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Global and STACKTV, Big Brother Canada will surveil the houseguests as they live and compete alongside each other in an effort to secure the $100,000 grand prize.

But it looks like there could be some fresh surprises in store for the guests, with the show teasing mysteries hidden behind secret passageways and devious twists designed to stoke paranoia throughout the house.

This year’s houseguests (manorguests?) include a glamourous 911 operator from British Columbia, a driven mom of four and yoga instructor from Alberta, a determined investment adviser from Saskatchewan, a boisterous graphic designer from Ontario, an optimistic marketing coordinator from Prince Edward Island, a charming father and fisherman from Newfoundland and more.
