Following a strong start Saturday, when Canadian work picked up eight Health Lions, Canada has 20 more shortlisted entries.
Fresh off its wins in Health, FCB Toronto’s “Down Syndrome Answers” campaign has made both the PR and Cyber category shortlists. The agency was also shortlisted in Promo & Activation for its “Where Am I?” campaign for the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation.
Lg2’s “Give-a-Care” product line and campaign for Rethink Breast Cancer, which picked up a Bronze during Saturday’s Health Lions, has also made the PR shortlist.
Leo Burnett Toronto made its first shortlists for 2017, with its “Cook This Page” campaign for IKEA Canada getting nods in the Promo & Activation and Outdoor categories, while J. Walter Thompson Canada received mentions in Cyber and PR for work with Hotels.com and its White Ribbon campaign, “#20MinutesofAction4Change,” a rallying cry for fathers to talk to their sons about consent.
Sid Lee’s “Swatches” for Reno-Depot colour-sensing billboard and app, Cossette Vancouver’s posters for Ronald McDonald House, as well as John St.’s “Speechless” video, featuring Carly Fleischmann in conversation with Channing Tatum (all of which won multiple trophies at last week’s Marketing Awards) have been nominated.
Rethink and Anomaly also got their first nods of the festival in Promo & Activation.
Canada was shut out of both the Print & Publishing and Glass Lions categories this year.

An earlier version of this story mistakenly included an image of Ronald McDonald House and Cossette’s “From Alpine to Apres” poster instead of the shortlisted “Moguls to Meals.” Strategy regrets the error.
