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."
