TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2018 /CNW/ - Corus Entertainment announced today an extensive three-year partnership between Royal Bank of Canada and HGTV Canada's Bryan and Sarah Baeumler. The partnership aims to bring Canadians closer to their goals by sharing expert financial and practical advice on everything from budgeting for home renovations to tips on growing a business. The collaboration is the first of its kind for Corus Tempo, a subsidiary of Corus Entertainment, and was facilitated with the help of RBC media planning agency, Initiative.

"We are proud to create and support this landmark partnership between HGTV Canada's Bryan and Sarah Baeumler and RBC," said Lynn Chambers, Vice President, Corus Tempo.

The multi-platform partnership launches Sunday, January 14 with the RBC Home Someday Contest in tandem with the Season 2 premiere of Bryan Inc. at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV Canada.

The grand prize winner will receive $25,000 and a personal home consultation with Bryan and Sarah Baeumler. In addition to the grand prize, the contest will also award two secondary prizes of $10,000. The contest is open until February 28 and the winners will be selected by RBC and the Baeumlers.
