Title: Edralin family videos : slide
Description: Item consists of a Filipino-Canadian family's home movie featuring children climbing up and coming down a slide. Donor(s) and project contributed description follows: "At a neighborhood park, close to their townhome on Mississauga Valley, Martin and his sister aged 4 and 2 are playing on the slide, and filmed by their father. The languages spoken are Filipino and English. It looks slightly overcast, and the children are wearing light jackets, so it could be in the Fall or Spring season. One memory that stands out about playing on the slide for Martin is that the metal felt really hot on the skin in the summer. Martin and his sister would often go to the park and play together whenever their parents allowed them, but they were never unsupervised. Growing up, Martin only had one cousin who lived in Canada who lived near Pape Station, and then Markham. He spent a lot of time playing with his sister. There is a community of Filipinos in Mississauga, and growing up, the Edralins had a close-knit group of family friends. In 1983, when the footage was taken, there were no condos in the neighborhood. When Martin used to attend Francis Xavier Secondary School at the intersection of Mavis Rd. and Matheson Blvd, there was a farm across the street. Demographically, the neighborhood has changed immensely. At his elementary school, there were about three Asian families, four black kids who were brothers and the rest of the children were white."

Title: Piedrahita-Budiman family videos : Scarborough Bluffs beach and barbeque
Description: Item consists of a Colombian and Indonesian-Canadian family's home movie featuring a day at the lake with children playing and adults barbequing. Donor(s) and project contributed description follows: "The year is 1999 and Sabrina Budiman aged 4, and her family is spending a day at the beach in the summertime, at the Scarborough Bluffs beach. Sabrina and her sister call it "ethnic BBQ" because the family brought their own charcoal BBQ, make lots of delicious food, fry up some fish and "stink up the place." A picnic table is set up with a beautiful tablecloth, and the footage documents an entire day spent at the beach. Sabrina shares that this experience was a large part of her childhood, and today we often see lots of immigrant families gathered at the Bluffs Beach in large groups with similar set-ups that include lots of food and colorful decorations. Sabrina carries a mixture of three cultures which she says felt a bit confusing: "It’s something you feel but can’t analyze as a child. Feeling it has more impact. It means that I’m a part of a larger group of people who share the same experiences, although it varies from person to person. Others have had the same struggles, successes, and personal experiences.""

Food, drinks and even a custom cake is ornamentally laid out to celebrate the day. Lu can be seen animatedly gesturing to the camera as she talks to her uncle behind the camera, a common occurrence in their home movies. The only footage selected that did not take place on the Assumption of St. Mary is a typical family dinner of the Asfaha eating Injera and Tsebhi from a large dish. Common to many cultures from across the African continent, her family can be seen eating by hand, enjoying the flavourful dish. The adults appear to handle the spice level better than the children. When asked about her identity, Lu speaks of the unique experience of being Eritrean in Toronto. Being from an East African identity that has a significantly smaller population compared to the Somali and Ethiopian one, the specific social location of Eritreans tends to be either rendered invisible or lumped in with the dominant East African identities represented in the city."
