BECAUSE THERE'S
LOTS OF LAKES THERE.
IN FACT,
THERE ARE SO MANY LAKES
THEY CALL MANITOBA
"THE LAND OF 100,000 LAKES."
IN THE SUMMER THERE ARE
LOTS OF BEACHES,
AND IN THE WINTER WE HAVE
THE LONGEST SKATE ICE TRAIL
IN THE WORLD.
Michael says WHERE'RE YOU FROM?
[UNCLEAR].
Michael says AND IT'S A BIG TOWN,
SMALL TOWN?
Keira says SMALL TOWN.
I WANTED TO BUILD THIS
PLAYGROUND BECAUSE
I WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING NEW...
MAKE A NEW DIFFERENCE,
MAKE SOME FRIENDS.
I AM OJIBWE,
WHICH WAS FIRST NATION.
THAT MEANS MY FAMILY
HAS BEEN IN MANITOBA
FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS
BEFORE CANADA WAS EVEN CANADA.
Robert says WE DECIDED TO DO
A FARM FOR MANITOBA
'CAUSE THEIR MAIN
INDUSTRY IS FARMING.
Qamer says THIS MORNING
WE SAT DOWN WITH MICHAEL
AND SHOWED HIM MY DESIGNS.
Michael says LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOURS.
Alex shows Michael his drawing and says SURE!
IT'S A PICKET FENCE
THAT REPRESENTS MANITOBA.
IT SAID "MANITOBA" ON IT,
AND THERE WERE FOUR ANIMALS
THAT REPRESENT MANITOBA.
Robert says MY DESIGN WAS A CHICKEN CLIMBER.
Sage says I MADE MONKEY BARS
OUT OF HAY BALES.
Qamer says I DREW A CORRAL OF SPRINGY
HORSES KIDS CAN PLAY ON.
Michael says OKAY, GOOD!

Dominique says THE GIVER TEAM
HAD BEEN WORKING SO HARD.
MICHAEL AND I HAD
A GREAT SURPRISE FOR THEM.
Sage says MICHAEL HAD A SURPRISE FOR US,
AND IT WAS AWESOME BECAUSE
WE GOT TO GO TO THE FARM,
AND I LOVE FARMS.
A boy says THEN WE MET WITH JESSICA,
WHO SHOWED US ALL THE ANIMALS.
Jessica is in her twenties, with long wavy light brown hair in a bun. She wears glasses, jeans and a red T-shirt.
[SNORT]
Jessica takes the kids to the stables and says THIS GUY'S NAME IS PADRAIG.

Keira and Alex imitate chickens.
[GIGGLING]
Alex says I CAN'T DO IT.
MY FAVOURITE PART

Eshaan says THE SURPRISE WAS REALLY COOL.
One of the kids says PICKET FENCE.
The design for the picket fence appears.
Alex says WE MET WITH DOMINIQUE
TO DRAW THE ANIMALS
FOR MY PICKET FENCE.
Dominique says SO WHAT DO I HAVE HERE?

AND ADD IT TO THE PLAYGROUND?
Alex says YEAH, SURE!

Dominique starts sketching on a plywood sheet.
Dominique says OKAY...

Kids say YEAH.
Dominique says YEAH?
DOES THAT HELP A BIT?

Michael says AH, PIG!
Eshaan says THE JIGSAW WAS COOL,
BUT I NEEDED HELP

IT WAS CHALLENGING BECAUSE
I COULDN'T GET
THE BOLTS TOGETHER,
AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT,
LIKE, TEN MINUTES TO
GET ONE BOLT TOGETHER.
Michael says WHICH SIDE IS IT
GONNA GO INTO HERE?
Alex says IT'S THAT SIDE.
Michael says LIFT IT UP THEN.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
Qamer says LIKE THAT.
I THINK IT'S LIKE THIS.
Alex says DO WE HAVE TO LIFT IT UP?
DO WE HAVE TO LEAN IT
DOWN AND CUT...
Michael says WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?
YOU WANNA LIFT IT UP?
Qamer says SURE.
Michael says ALRIGHT, AND... OH, CLOSE.
Alex I THINK IT'S GOOD.
Qamer says IT WAS REALLY
HARD BECAUSE
THE SPRING WAS
COVERING THE SCREW.
Michael says WOULD IT BE EASIER
IF WE LAID IT DOWN, YA THINK?
Qamer says YES.
Michael says I THINK SO TOO.
Qamer says IT JUST TOOK FOREVER.
Qamer loses her safety hat.

AND I MIXED SOME OF
THE PINKS WITH THE WHITES,
SO IT WAS, UM,

(music plays)
Alex PICKET FENCE!

Sage says YES.
Michael says TEN FEET TALL?
Alex says YEAH!
Michael says IT WAS COOL.
I GOT TO HOLD IT.
WHEN I CUT IT OFF,
I GOT TO HOLD IT AT THE END.
I WASN'T SCARED.

Eshaan says I WAS KINDA SCARED WHEN

Robert says THE WELDING WAS VERY FUN,
'CAUSE NOW I KNOW MY NEXT DREAM
JOB IS GONNA BE TO BE A WELDER.
Michael says TAKE A LOOK.

NICELY DONE!
Robert says IN MY OPINION,
I THINK I WAS PRETTY GOOD,
'CAUSE MICHAEL TOLD ME MY WELD
WAS BETTER THAN HIS.
Sage says HALF WAY THROUGH DAY TWO!
(music plays)
Michael goes down a slide and lands on one of the springy horses.
Michael says END OF DAY TWO, AND WE'VE

Alex says I SEE ICE CREAM!
Jessica says YOU SEE ICE CREAM?
Keira says THE ICE CREAM THAT WE MADE
WAS BETTER THAN THE STORE'S.
Jessica says WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
DID YOU MAKE SOME
GOOD ICE CREAM?
The kids eat the ice-cream and say THANK YOU!
Jessica says YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND THEY DESERVED IT.
A girl says BARN PLAY STRUCTURE.

They all say LET'S GIVER!
A boy says A ROW OF SPRINGING HORSES.
Qamer says ME, SAGE, AND MICHAEL
INSTALLED THE HORSES
ONTO THE GROUND.
IT WAS ACTUALLY A LOT EASIER
THAN INSTALLING THE SPRING.
Michael says THAT'S READY TO ROLL.
WHO WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY?
Sage says GIDDY-UP!
MY FAVOURITE PART
OF THE PLAYGROUND IS
THE PONIES,
BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE
YOU'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH.
Qamer says I LIKE HOW THE SPRINGY HORSES
ENDED UP LOOKING.
IT FELT A LOT LIKE
A REAL HORSE.
A kid says TRACTOR WHEEL RIDE.
Michael says WHY DON'T EACH OF YOU
GET A LADDER.
Eshaan says I'LL TAKE THE SMALL LADDER.
Michael says MINE'S GONNA FALL DOWN
'CAUSE I HAD ONE HAND OFF.
WHENEVER I CLIMB A LADDER,
I SHOULD HAVE TWO HANDS ON.
Michael says NICE.
USE THE TORQUE.
I THINK WE'RE IN.
WHO'S GONNA DO IT?
Eshaan says I THINK ME.
Michael says YEAH?
Eshaan says I THINK IT'S GONNA BE GOOD
IF I TEST IT FIRST.
Michael says ONE, TWO, THREE!
Michael takes off the ladder and leaves Eshaan hanging from one of the wheels.
[ESHAAN LAUGHS]
Eshaan says IT WORKS!
Michael says OKAY, CAN YOU
GET TO THE NEXT WHEEL?
Eshaan jumps down and says NO!
[LAUGH]
Robert says MICHAEL, HE TRIED AND

They both say ME!
Michael says YEAH? OKAY, GOOD.
Alex says IT'S NOT LEVEL WITH THAT?
Michael says YEAH.
SO WHAT DO WE DO?
WHICH WAY DO YOU WANNA GO?
Keira says JUST A LITTLE BIT UP.
Alex says YEAH.
Michael says A LITTLE BIT UP?
Alex says A LITTLE BIT UP,
OR A LITTLE BIT DOWN.
IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE,
BUT IT WASN'T THAT
EQUAL ON THE TWO SIDES.
SO WE HAD TO MOVE IT DOWN
AND THEN IT WAS EQUAL.
DOWN A BIT! UP A BIT!
NOW IT'S LEVEL!
Michael says TWO LAG BOLTS...
TWO LAG BOLTS...
TWO DRILLS...
Alex says AND THEN WE HAD TO DO
A DRILL RACE, ME AND KEIRA.
Michael says KEEP GOIN'!
[DRILLS SLOWING DOWN]
Michael says DEAD BATTERIES.

Michael says WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?
YOU WANNA LIFT IT UP?
Qamer says SURE.
Michael says ALRIGHT, AND... OH, CLOSE.

ONTO THE GROUND.
IT WAS ACTUALLY A LOT EASIER
THAN INSTALLING THE SPRING.
Michael says THAT'S READY TO ROLL.
WHO WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY?
Sage says GIDDY-UP!
MY FAVOURITE PART
OF THE PLAYGROUND IS
THE PONIES,
BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE
YOU'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH.
Qamer says I LIKE HOW THE SPRINGY HORSES
ENDED UP LOOKING.
IT FELT A LOT LIKE
A REAL HORSE.
A kid says TRACTOR WHEEL RIDE.
Michael says WHY DON'T EACH OF YOU
GET A LADDER.
Eshaan says I'LL TAKE THE SMALL LADDER.

Keira says JUST A LITTLE BIT UP.
Alex says YEAH.
Michael says A LITTLE BIT UP?
Alex says A LITTLE BIT UP,
OR A LITTLE BIT DOWN.
IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE,
BUT IT WASN'T THAT
EQUAL ON THE TWO SIDES.
SO WE HAD TO MOVE IT DOWN
AND THEN IT WAS EQUAL.
DOWN A BIT! UP A BIT!
NOW IT'S LEVEL!
Michael says TWO LAG BOLTS...
TWO LAG BOLTS...
