Chilly Beach is a Canadiananimated series, which aired on CBC from 2003 to 2006. The series is a comedic depiction of life in the fictional Canadian town of Chilly Beach, described by the producers as "a bunch of Canadians doing the stuff that Canadians do, like playing hockey, drinking beer, and being eaten by polar bears." Chilly Beach plays on nearly every conceivable stereotype that people have about Canadians in a satirical manner. 65 episodes were produced.[2]
The show began as an animated Flash site on the Web, and was developed into a CBC TV series which first aired in 2003. An early version of the Chilly Beach feature film, Chilly Beach: The World Is Hot Enough, made its theatrical debut at Cinéfest in September 2005, and as released to DVD on February 4, 2008. A second film, Chilly Beach: The Canadian President was also produced.
Dale MacDonald (voiced by Steve Ashton) is a stupid and fat stereotypical Canadian. He has a crush on April June, who detests Dale, and has a best friend, Frank Shackleford, whose genius would go more appreciated if Dale didn't accidentally destroy most of his brilliant inventions with a stray puck. He owns a Zamboni and considers ice resurfacing a skilled trade. Devoted fan of hockey, especially his favourite team the MontrealTourtières, in direct opposition to Frank's support of the TorontoPtarmigans.
Frank Shackleford (voiced by Todd Peterson) is a beer store manager and Dale's best friend. Also a modest scientific genius; he once created a portal to another galaxy. He holds a PhD in physics, but chooses to run a beer store because "physicists don't get two-fours on weekends".
Jacques LaRock (voiced by Robert Smith) is an unhygienic greasy spoon owner and former hockey player from Quebec who serves a poutine made from a recipe passed down from his mother.
April June (voiced by Samantha Espie) is a waitress and ferocious animal rights activist. Dale is constantly trying to get her to date him, but she resolutely remains uninterested.
Angus MacAuger is an eccentric and hermetic Scottish trapper
Katherine Hilderbrand (voiced by Mary Lawliss) is the disgruntled (and highly patriotic) Assistant Deputy American Ambassador to Canada
Abby Hilderbrand (voiced by Emily Tait) is Katherine's inquisitive and intelligent daughter. She is an aspiring anthropologist constantly trying to understand Canadian culture.
Constable Al (voiced by Damon D'Oliveira) is an Indo-Canadianmountie, the only form of law enforcement in Chilly Beach usually found riding his police horse.
Michel Mabuis (voiced by Jacqueline Pillon) is the nephew of Jacques LaRock, a friend of Abby who enjoys figure skating, a fact he has to hide from his hockey-obsessed uncle who considers figure skating weak.
Polar Bear a large animal who frequently eats citizens of Chilly Beach, somehow has with a pleasant British accent, and lives with a taciturn penguin
The characters Abby and Michel were deemed unpopular after season one, and largely disappeared from the show in subsequent seasons.

He came to Chilly Beach hoping Dale would give him a kidney in order to live. However is turns out their blood types are incompatible, so one of them was actually adopted.

Setting
Chilly Beach is a small town located on a large iceberg, presumably in the Canadian Arctic. The iceberg is seemingly a floating island that can move around in the water. There are some trees and wildlife as well as a mountain with caves. According to at least one episode,[which?] the island is located in northwestern Hudson Bay, placing it in Nunavut. However where it is has been kept vague as it has been mentioned that they live in a province and in season 1, episode 15 are not actually a part of Canada.
