Title: Jabbar family videos : America/Canada Visit Sep 89 Family Video : part 2 of 4
Description: Video recording consists of footage a a family travelling to the Metropolitan Toronto Zoological Society. Project and donor contributed description follows: "Sometime between 1987 and 1988, its summertime and the Jabbar family welcomes uncles and aunts and cousins over for a visit to Canada, staying at their apartment in Scarborough ON. Family was always welcome at the Jabbar household and they are happy and willing to stay for weeks at a time despite the small space. In this clip, it’s the family’s first visit to Canada so the Jabbars take them to tourist sites. Seen here, the family is entering their vehicle on their way to a day excursion. S’s father is getting into a large vehicle from the late eighties. The car accommodates hand-breaks, since her father could not use his legs due to his disability. Since S's father was the first of his siblings to come to Canada, everyone was excited to visit. It was also quite an accomplishment for a man with a physical disability to seek an independent life overseas for himself and his family so this was often admired. The footage shows how multigenerational the gatherings are, which included S's grandmother who recently came to live with the family."

Description: Video recordings consists of footage a family travelling to the Metropolitan Toronto Zoological Society. Project and donor contributed description follows: "Sometime between 1987 and 1988, it's the summer season and the Jabbar family welcomes uncles and aunts over for a visit to Canada, staying at their apartment in Scarborough, ON. Family was always welcome at the Jabbar household and they are happy and willing to stay for weeks at a time despite the small space. The clip shows a view of the landscape outside of the family’s highrise window. Seen are full, lush green trees, and in the distance is the Lake Ontario water line. The footage frames the wide six laned Kingston Rd. looking East. The view overlooks a sea of red rooftops, a suburban residential landscape of apartment towers in the distance and detached single family homes."
