Broadcast[]
Following the dub's premiere in France, the dub premiered on Télémagino in Canada on October 14, 2019; this version is modified for broadcast, with all mentions of Bisounours being replaced by Calinours and the character names being changed, though the dub remains the exact same otherwise. Télémagino finished airing the show on March 18, 2020; the show currently still airs in reruns.
The dub eventually premiered on RTS Un in Switzerland on television on November 25, 2019; previously, the dub was made available on their site on November 21. Notably, the airing order and the website order are entirely different, with the website order mostly following the production order of the series while the episodes aired on television at random. The dub stopped airing in August 2020(specify?); the episode "Nobody's Perfect" never aired on television for unknown reasons, though it was made available on their site.
All 50 episodes of the dub were made available on TFOU Max on July 22, 2020; while the show is still available on their site, the service hosts no episodes. The show is also currently available on ICI Tou.tv.

Notes[]
- The dub of the specials appear to have been produced on a lower budget than that of the series:
- There is no longer a separate Canadian French version; despite still being branded as "Calinours" on schedules and the logo used being the Canadian French version, the intro has been retained from the European French version, and the dialogue retains the European names of the characters.
- The Unlock the Music songs featured in the specials have been left undubbed from the original English version.
- All instances of English text are no longer translated into French, besides the title of the series and the subtitles of the specials (which are not relocalized, but shown in English with a French subtitle underneath). This also includes English text that was localized in the first season, such as the end credits and the "Cloudco Entertainment Presents" tagline at the beginning of the theme song.
- There are also no dubbing credits shown.
Footnotes[]
- ↑ The French translation of the Care Bears site targeted towards Quebec alternatively uses the name "Ours vigilant".
- ↑ Some Canadian sources refer to the episode as "Trois Gailoursons valent mieux qu'une", though Télémagino's schedules do not and the title remains unchanged in Canadian broadcasts.
- ↑ "Long voyage" in Canada.
- ↑ "Désolé, pas désolé" in Canada.
- ↑ Also known as "Un peu de chance".
- ↑ Also known as "Zone d'inconfort".
