• Bang! Ouch! Worst Handyman returns
  “Canada’s Worst Handyman 2, which fills the 10 p.m. timeslot starting April 16, puts five contestants to work building “eco-sheds,” which will be auctioned off on eBay.ca, along with a sixth constructed by the show’s two experts – a contractor and a carpenter, who are charged with whipping the worst handymen into shape. The six successful bidders will then be featured in the finale in June. All proceeds from the online initiative go to Habitat for Humanity Canada.”
