Pictures of Brooklyn in Nova Scotia appear.
Brooklyn I WANTED TO HELP BUILD

I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD
JUST BE REALLY COOL,
AND I LOVE TO GET

Michael says WHO'S FROM NEW BRUNSWICK?
Elia says ME!
NEW BRUNSWICK!
THAT'S WHERE I LIVE.
I WANTED TO BUILD
THIS PLAYGROUND
BECAUSE HELPING
THE COMMUNITY
MEANS A LOT
TO ALL OF US.
Pictures of Elia at the beach appear.
Brooklyn says WE WANTED TO DO
AN OCEAN-THEMED PLAYGROUND,
BECAUSE AROUND NOVA SCOTIA
AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
THERE'S A LOT OF WATER.
Clips show images of a lighthouse and a town on the coast.
Michael says I SEE YOU'VE DONE SOME DRAWINGS.

Elia shows Michael his drawing and says IT'S A WHALE BENCH.
Michael says A WHALE BENCH?
NEAT.
Brooklyn says I HAVE A LIGHTHOUSE...

Michael says A BIG ANCHOR YOU CAN CLIMB ON,
ON THE CLIMBING SIDE?
Isaac says YEAH.
Michael says OKAY.
AND THIS IS A NET?
Isaac says YEAH, THIS IS A NET
THEY CLIMB UP.
Hunter shows his drawing and says IT'S A TABLE WITH A SANDPIT,
SO EVEN PEOPLE WITH
A WHEELCHAIR CAN USE IT.
Michael says OKAY, SO IT'S
AN ELEVATED SANDBOX,
SO IT LOOKS LIKE
THE BLUENOSE.
Ashley says SO I HAVE A CLIMBING
A ROCK OVER HERE...
Andrew says THE LITTLE THINGS
YOU TIE YOUR BOAT TO.
Michael says THE MOORING CLEATS?
Andrew says YEAH, THE MOORINGS.
Andrew says SO IT COULD BE A HOPSCOTCH GAME.
Michael says THE GIVER TEAM
DESIGNED A NAUTICAL PLAYGROUND
TO CELEBRATE NOVA SCOTIA
AND NEW BRUNSWICK'S
BEAUTIFUL OCEAN SCENERY.
An animation shows the design of the playground.
Michael says BROOKLYN WANTS A TOWERING
LIGHTHOUSE SLIDE,
ISAAC WANTS AN
ANCHOR NET CLIMBER,
ANDREW, MOORING SEAT
STUMP JUMPERS,
ELIA WANTS A WHALE BENCH
AND A BAY OF FUNDY MURAL,
HUNTER WANTS A BLUENOSE SANDBOX
FOR KIDS IN WHEELCHAIRS,
AND ASHLEY WANTS

GARBAGE CANS.
THAT'S A LOTTA WORK TO

The kids shout YEAH!
Brooklyn says MAYBE!
Michael says "MAYBE?"
I THINK WE'RE GONNA GET IT DONE.
YOU GUYS READY

The kids scream, YEAH!
Michael says ALRIGHT THEN...
They all join hands and say LET'S GIVER!
Brooklyn says WE GOT IN THE VAN
AND MICHAEL SURPRISED US.
Michael says WE'RE GONNA GO SAILING
TO GET OURSELVES
INSPIRED BY THE WATER.
SO WE'RE GONNA GO
LEARN SOME SAILING.
Elia says CAN WE DIP OUR
HEADS IN THE WATER?
Michael says CAN WE STICK OUR HEADS
IN THE WATER? TOTALLY.
Isaac says WE GOT TO RIDE A SAILBOAT
DOWN THE OTTAWA RIVER.
On the boat, Michael says THERE WE GO. WHEEE!
Hunter says WHY IS THE BOAT TIPPING?
Michael says BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT THE WIND DOES.
WIND PUSHES THE BOAT
[UNCLEAR].
Hunter says I WAS FREAKED OUT
BECAUSE THE BOAT WAS TIPPING.
I DON'T LIKE IT!
YOU DON'T LIKE IT?
Michael says IT'LL NEVER TIP.
All say WHOA!
Michael says THAT IS WHAT WE CALL A GUST!
Hunter says CAN WE PULL DOWN
THE SAILS MAYBE?
Michael laughs.
Isaac says WE LEARNED HOW TO TACK.
Brooklyn says THAT MEANS "TURN."
Michael says TACKING!
HELM TO LEA!
WOOHOO!
THERE WE GO.
NICE TACK!
(music plays)
Dominique says WE MADE IT.
NOBODY FELL OUT OF THE BOAT!
Elia says TIME TO GET TO WORK!
(music plays)
A song goes I USED TO HAVE
THE STRANGEST DREAMS
THAT I'D GO BLIND
YOU COULD NOT SEE ME...
The team starts cutting and sanding two by fours.
A kid says TIME TO BUILD THE NOSE
FOR THE BLUENOSE SANDBOX.
An animation shows the design for the sandbox.
Ashley says THE BLUENOSE IS
A FAMOUS CANADIAN SHIP
THAT WAS BUILT IN
NOVA SCOTIA IN 1921.
IT'S SO FAMOUS THAT
IT'S EVEN ON THE DIME.
Clips show images of the boat.
Michael holds a circular saw and says ALRIGHT, WHO'S USED
ONE OF THESE BEFORE?
Hunter says UH, NO,
BUT I'VE SEEN IT.
(music plays)
With Michael’s help, Hunter and Andrew use the tool to cut a wood sheet.
Michael says THERE WE GO.
PERFECT!
YOU GUYS WANNA
SEE IF IT FITS?
Andrew says YES.
Michael says OKAY, TAKE IT IN THERE.
Andrew says THE FIRST TRY,
WE GOT...
PRETTY MUCH ALL
THE LINES WERE OFF.
SECOND TRY,
WE CAME A BIT CLOSER.
Michael whispers IT'S CLOSE... SO CLOSE!
Hunter says WHY DOESN'T IT FIT...
IT DOES!
Andrew says AS THEY SAY,
"THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM."
"THIRD..."
Michael chuckles.
Michael says ALRIGHT, STILL NOT
LIKING THAT PART.
ALRIGHT,
FEELIN' OPTIMISTIC...
CLOSE!
HOW DID WE MISS
SO BADLY?
Andrew says I MEANT,
"FOUR TIME'S A CHARM."
Michael says ALRIGHT, BOYS,
MAKE ME PROUD.
Hunter says WE CAN DO IT NOW!
Andrew says AND THEN FINALLY, ON THE
FOURTH TRY, WE GOT IT RIGHT.
Michael says ALRIGHT, PERFECT.
I'LL SEE YOU GUYS IN A BIT.
A kid says ANCHOR CLIMBER!
THAT'S MY DESIGN.
An animation shows the design for the anchor climber.
3 giant anchors aligned are joined by a climber and monkey bars.
Elia says NEW BRUNSWICK USED TO BE
REALLY WELL KNOWN
FOR BUILDING TALL SHIPS.
THOSE ARE THE BOATS
WITH THE REALLY TALL SAILS
AND THE REALLY BIG ANCHORS.
WE EVEN HAVE A TALL SHIP
ON OUR PROVINCIAL FLAG.
Pictures of the ships and the provincial flag appear.
Michael says...BECAUSE WE CAN'T DRILL
VERY WELL INTO THIS GROUND HERE,
WE'RE BUILDING BIG CONCRETE
PADS TO HOLD IT ALL.
Ashley says I WORKED WITH ISAAC
AND WE PUT THE FRAME TOGETHER.
Ashley uses a drill to join the frames.
Michael says THAT'S IT. ALRIGHT, GOOD.
OKAY, NEXT ONE.
Now Isaac uses the tool.
Michael says RIGHT THERE...
[WOOD VIBRATES]
THAT'S THE SOUND WE DO LIKE.
[METALLIC GRINDING SOUND]
WHEN IT MAKES THAT,
YOU START OVER.
Ashley says IT WAS REALLY HARD
AT THE BEGINNING,
BUT AFTER,
YOU'LL GET BETTER.
[WOOD VIBRATES]
Michael says THAT SOUNDED GOOD.
GREAT. NICE JOB.
ALRIGHT, ONE MORE
CORNER OVER THERE.
NICELY DONE.
Elia says IT WAS AMAZING!
EVERYONE HELPED OUT.
(music plays)
A team of volunteers help Michael and the kids.
(music plays)
A kid says BAY OF FUNDY MURAL.
An animation shows the design of the mural in the shape of an octopus.
Clips show images of the bay of Fundy.
Elia says THE BAY OF FUNDY
IS RIGHT BETWEEN
NOVA SCOTIA AND
NEW BRUNSWICK.
IT HAS THE HIGHEST
TIDES ON EARTH.
TWICE A DAY,
THE TIDES GO ALL THE WAY UP
AND ALL THE WAY DOWN.
THE BAY OF FUNDY IS HOME
TO LOTS OF SEA ANIMALS,
LIKE OCTOPUSES.
THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE,
WHICH IS WHY I WANNA
PUT ONE ON MY MURAL.
Brooklyn, Elia and Dominique stand next to an outlined wood sheet.
Dominique says SO BASICALLY WHAT I'VE GOT HERE
IS THE BIG OCTOPI.
I'VE GOT ITS TENTACLES,
ITS EYE, EVERYTHING.
BUT I DO NEED HELP
CUTTING IT OUT.
Elia says THE JIGSAW WAS REALLY
SHAKY IN MY HANDS.
(music plays)
Elia cuts a piece of the sheet.
Michael says TAA-DAA!
THERE'S YOUR PIECE.
WANNA TRY THIS ONE HERE?
AND THEN PULL THE TRIGGER...
SLOWLY.
JUST TURN IT AS YOU GO.
Now Brooklyn cuts her part.
(music plays)
Michael says NICELY DONE.
WHAT DO YA THINK OF THAT TOOL?
Brooklyn says SHAKY.
[LAUGH]
Brooklyn shakes and says YOU WERE LIKE THIS

Michael and Brooklyn get on a loader.
Brooklyn says I STARTED DRIVING

HE DID THE PEDAL
AND I DID THE STEERING.
Michael says THE WHOLE THING SPINS
IN THE MIDDLE.

I WAS GONNA HIT SOMETHING.
Michael says THAT'S IT.
[BROOKLYN GIGGLES]

I FELT LIKE I WAS
GETTING A MASSAGE.
Michael says ULTRASONIC MASSAGE OF THE HAND?
Brooklyn says YES!
[CHUCKLE]
Michael says ONE, TWO, THREE...
TIGHT, TIGHT, TIGHT...
They align the poles and tie them together with rope.
Andrew says THEY LOOK AMAZING.
I THOUGHT THEY
WOULD TAKE FOREVER,
BUT WE'RE ALMOST DONE THEM.
A kid says WHALE BENCHES.
An animation shows the design of the whale benches.
Elia says THERE ARE OVER EIGHT
DIFFERENT TYPES OF WHALES
IN NEW BRUNSWICK
AND NOVA SCOTIA.
THE BIGGEST WHALES
ARE THE BLUE WHALES.
THEY'RE AS LONG AS
A BASKETBALL COURT.
Clips show images of the whale.
Dominique, Isaac and Eli kneel next to a white bench with spray paint cans on their hands.
Dominique says BEFORE WE CAN EVEN
USE THE PAINT,
WE HAVE TO SHAKE IT...
MAKING SURE ALL THE PIGMENTS
ARE MIXING UP WITH THE WATER,
IT'S ALL GOOD...
THAT'S GONNA BE THE FRONT.
YOU HAVE TO MOVE FAST.

They all run to a beach, wearing swimsuits and life jackets.
Ben says THE KNOTS THAT
