This is a preparatory interview with Marie Symes-Grehan, the Great Whale Hydro task force assistant from the Cree Village of Whapmagoostui, who acted as a coordinator during the voyage. The audio picks up mid-interview as Marie is discusses how she ended up going to Great Whale for community development to coordinate a task force. She then talks about her experience meeting Robbie Dick, who tells her about the project; her impressions of James' Bay; her first task force meeting; first coming up with the idea of building a canoe; and [Dani?] coming up. She then goes into detai about the meeting with the Inuit Council and Cree Council, describing Inuit/Cree historical integration changing to segregation and splitting the community, how the James' Bay Agreement split the Inuit and Cree communities, making them split land and starting land arguments. Marie then goes through a timeline of organizing the voyage, notes the equal numbers of woman, talks of making contact with the Sierra Club, problems with political groups, feelings of the chiefs about the project, her feelings during the experience, problems that arose during the voyage, monetary issues, unexpected help from regular community members along the voyage making up for the lack of help expected from official sources, and a time frame of launching boat from Ottawa.

Benzaine family videos : La Ronde
-
Description
-
Item consists of a Morocan family's home movie featuring two children and a woman entering the park to ride the carousel, bumper cars, and ferris wheel amongst many other children’s rides. Footage contains a 360 degree cityscape views of the Jacques-Cartier bridge, Longueuil, and Montreal (ncluding the Olympic Stadium). Donor(s) and project contributed description follows: "A couple take their young daughter down to La Ronde on a warm sunny afternoon. Opened since 1967, this amusement park continues to be a popular family attraction during the summer season and a common childhood experience for many Montrealers. Yousra remembers going to the park with her family every couple of years and the excitement this visit would bring. She recounts how they"would be out from the day until night". When asked about her memories of the day, Yosura remembers most clearly the bumper cars and atmospheric nostalgia of being in that place. Like many families with home movies on older formats, she grew up seeing the tapes throughout the years, but stopped once her family no longer had a VHS player. Born and raised in Montreal, but with Moroccan heritage Yousra describes herself as being"someone with two identities [we] are culturally bilingual… I try to define myself and not let others define me.""

Marchant family videos : 3 J.P Birthday 1 year Old 1976 : Part 4 of 4
-
Description
-
A video clip recording from 1976 to 1978 with the first half consisting of children and adults gathered in a garage and backyard, and the second half capturing Niagara Falls during the wintertime. Project and donor(s) contributed description follows: "These clips show episodes from Jean-Pierre Marchant’s childhood in the mid-1970s Montreal. His parents were immigrants, recently arrived from Argentina and Chile. Throughout Jean-Pierre’s childhood, they documented the family’s life with a Super 8 camera (and would later switch to video). These clips depict him as a playful child, trips, and well-attended birthday parties. Looking back, Jean-Pierre recognizes that these parties were a big opportunity for the adults to get together and celebrate. The Marchants mostly socialized with people from similar backgrounds, and Jean-Pierre says that “it was important for my parents, who were trying to make a life in a new place, to associate with others who spoke their language."
