Everyone says YEAH!
Michael says ALL RIGHT, SO THE PLAYGROUND

They all say NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
AND YUKON.
Michael says YUKON. PERFECT!
Angelica says I COME FROM YELLOWKNIFE
IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES.
Michael says WHAT'S LIFE
LIKE IN YELLOWKNIFE?
Angelica says WELL, MOSTLY IN THE WINTER TIME,
IT'S PRETTY FREEZING.
Michael says PRETTY FREEZING?
Images of snow covered peaks appear.
Angelica says REALLY FREEZING.
THE TEMPERATURE ONCE
WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN
TO MINUS 51
DEGREES CELSIUS.
THAT'S ALMOST AS COLD
AS IT IS ON MARS.
Michael says AND SO WHO ELSE HAS
BEEN TO THE YUKON THEN?
Lachlan raises his hand.
Michael says YES?
Lachlan says I'M FROM
WHITEHORSE, YUKON.
Michael says WHAT'S LIFE LIKE
IN WHITEHORSE?
Lachlan says DARK.
DARK?
Lachlan says BECAUSE THE YUKON
IS SO FAR NORTH,
WE ONLY HAVE SIX HOURS
OF DAYLIGHT IN THE WINTER.
BUT IN THE SUMMER
IT'S BRIGHT OUT UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
Teagan says WE'RE DOING A MINING
THEMED PLAYGROUND
BECAUSE IN THE YUKON
AND NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
THERE HAS BEEN
HUGE GOLD RUSHES.
Angelica says LOTS OF MINING.
LOTS OF GOLD.
Dominique says IN 1896, OVER 100,000 PEOPLE
TRAVELED TO YUKON
LOOKING FOR GOLD.
SO MANY PEOPLE CAME
THAT IT DOUBLED
THE POPULATION OF YUKON.
TODAY, PEOPLE MINE DIAMONDS,
COPPER AND SILVER.
Michael says SO I SEE YOU'VE ALL BROUGHT
SOME DRAWINGS HERE
FOR YOUR PLAYGROUND IDEAS.
The kids show Michael their sketches.
Teagan says WE HAD SO MANY
AWESOME IDEAS.
Aidan says THE MINE CART
IS A SPRING TOY.
Michael says OH OKAY, GREAT IDEA.
Teagan says IT'S A SWING SET.
BUT IT WOULD BE IN
THE SHAPE OF A MINING PAN.
SO YOU CAN
CLIMB UP INTO IT.
Aly says THESE ARE CHAIRS,
AND THEN THIS IS A CHALKBOARD.
Michael says LIKE AN AUDITORIUM
OR LIKE AN OUTDOOR
CLASSROOM SORT OF THING.
GREAT, WE'VE NEVER
DONE ONE OF THESE.
Lachlan says I DID A MINING
TUNNEL CLIMBER.
AND YOU CLIMB ON
THE OUTSIDE AND IN THE INSIDE.
Michael says SO THIS IS OF YOUR MURAL
THAT YOU WANT TO DO?
Angelica says YES.
LIKE A BIG PAINTING.
IT HAS LIKE LAKES,
FORESTS, CARIBOU.
NATIVES ARE IN THE NORTHWEST
TERRITORIES IS PRETTY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE MY FAMILY HAS LIVED HERE
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
WE WERE HERE BEFORE CANADA
WAS EVEN CANADA.
Mattias says THIS IS THE BENCH.
IT'S MADE OUT OF A LOT OF
LIKE ROCKS AND MINERALS.
IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST
PLAYGROUND EVER!
Michael says TO CELEBRATE
THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
AND YUKON'S
GREAT MINING HISTORY,
THE GIVER TEAM
DESIGNED A MINING PLAYGROUND.
LACHLAN WANTS A MINING
TUNNEL CLIMBER.
MATTIAS WANTS
MINERAL BENCHES.
ANGELICA WANTS A MURAL
THAT REFLECTS
HER ABORIGINAL CULTURE.
ALY WANTS
AN OUTDOOR CLASSROOM.
AIDAN WANTS MINING
CART SPRING TOYS
AND TEAGAN WANTS A SWING
THAT LOOKS LIKE A MINING PAN.
An animation shows the whole design of the playground.
Teagan says I KNOW WE CAN GET THIS
PLAYGROUND DONE IN THREE DAYS.
Michael says READY TO GIVER?
Kids say YEAH!
Michael says ALL RIGHT, WELL THEN-
Everyone says LET'S GIVER!
Michael says LET'S GO!
[ALL CHEERING]
Angelica says TIME TO GET TO WORK.
MINING TUNNEL CLIMBER.
The animation shows the design for the mining tunnel climber.
Angelica says MINERS USED
TO USE EXPLOSIONS
TO GET TO
THE MINERALS UNDERGROUND.
AFTER THAT,
THEY'D DIG TUNNELS
TO GET EVEN DEEPER.
TO STAY SAFE, THEY'D BUILD
TRESTLES; THESE PIECES.
An animation shows a wooden frame.
She says SO THE NEW TUNNELS
DON'T COLLAPSE.
Michael says WE ARE GOING TO PUT TOGETHER
OUR FIRST TRESTLE
AND WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS
ARE INCREDIBLY LARGE SCREWS
AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING
TO ASSEMBLE IT OKAY?
THAT AND GLUE.
THE ONLY DOWN SIDE TO
POLYURETHANE GLUE,
YOU GET IT ON YOUR SKIN,
IT STAYS ON FOR A WEEK.
IT'S AWFUL.
Teagan says I DID NOT WANT
THAT GLUE ON MY SKIN.
Michael says BASICALLY
PULL THE TRIGGER.
Teagan says THE GLUE GUN THAT WE USED
WAS UNLIKE ANY THAT
I'VE USED BEFORE.
IT WAS MORE LIKE A PUMP.
Michael says ONE, TWO, THREE.
They put a wooden piece on top of another,
Michael says CLOSE IN THAT GAP.
PERFECT.
THERE YOU GO.
Teagan drives the screws in.
Michael says LIKE A PRO.
HOLY SMOKES.
Lachlan says SHE SEEMED TO KNOW
WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
Michael says THAT'S IT.
NICE.
Teagan says WE TOOK A DRILL
WITH A VERY LONG BIT PIECE.
The bit piece is about 15 inches long.
Lachlan says IT WAS ABOUT THIS LONG.
Teagan says THEN WE MADE A GIGANTIC
SKINNY HOLE IN THE WOOD.
Michael says ALL RIGHT.
Teagan says AND WE ALSO USED
A LONG SCREW LIKE BOLT
TO CONNECT THE TWO
PIECES TOGETHER.
Michael says THAT'S IT.
HALF TURN AT A TIME.
Teagan says IT'S GETTING HARDER.
Michael says THAT'S PROGRESS.
Lachlan says DO YOU NEED HELP?
Teagan says NO THANKS.
ALMOST DONE.
Michael says ALL RIGHT
HERE'S NUMBER TWO ALL RIGHT.
AFTER THAT THERE'S ONLY
22 MORE, SO DON'T WORRY.
ALL RIGHT, HAVE FUN.
SEE YOU GUYS IN A BIT.
Teagan says WHAT?
LET'S SEE IF THE HOLE
IS ALREADY DONE.
Michael says DON'T FORGET THE WASHER!
(music plays)
(music plays)
(music plays)
Aly says I DROVE A TRUCK
TO DROP OFF ROCKS.
Michael says SO THESE
ARE GOING TO BE THE ROCKS
FOR OUR BIG CLIMBER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
PERFECT.
Angelica says I ALMOST GOT
A LITTLE BIT TOO CLOSE.
I SAID STOP.
(music plays)
Michael says PERFECT.
Angelica says ALY, MICHAEL AND ME,
WE WERE A GREAT TEAM.
Dominique says THE GIVER TEAM
WAS WORKING SO HARD
THAT MICHAEL AND I DECIDED
TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BREAK.
[SANDRA]
Sandra is in her thirties, with long straight brown hair in a ponytail. She wears a black tank top and white shorts.
She says HELLO!
The kids say HI!
Sandra says COME ON, COME ON.
Teagan says WE GOT TO GO TO SANDRA'S FARM
AND DIG FOR GOLD
LIKE THEY DID IN THE OLDEN DAYS.
Sandra says SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING
SOME GEM MINING TODAY
AT THE SOUNDERS FARM
MINING COMPANY.
SPRINKLE LIKE THAT.
EXACTLY.
Each kid works with their own pan.
Mattias says WE PUT THE PAN
IN THE WATER
AND THEN WE SHAKED IT
AROUND A LOT
AND THEN THE SAND
WOULD GO OUT THE BOTTOM
OF THE LITTLE HOLES.
Angelica says AND YOU LIFT IT BACK UP
AND YOU COULD SEE
LIKE EMERALDS, GOLD.
I'M GETTING QUITE A FEW.
Aly says I'M GETTING HUGE GEMS.
Dominique says THREE, TWO, ONE.
Teagan says I FOUND A TON OF JEWELS.
BIG PIECES, GOLD,
SMALL ONES.
Mattias says DID I FIND DIAMONDS?
IS THIS DIAMOND?
Dominique gives him a brochure and says HERE YOU GO.
YOU COULD FIND OUT. CHECK.
Sandra says I THINK THAT'S A QUARTZ.
Mattias says I'M PRETTY SURE I
FOUND A DIAMOND.
Sandra says WHOA!
THAT'S HUGE.
Angelica shows a big black rock.
Aidan says IT LOOKS LIKE MARS.
Sandra says A LITTLE SALTY?
Lachlan licks a rock and says KIND OF.
[LAUGHS]
Michael says FOLLOW ME.
LET'S GO EVERYBODY.
Sandra says GO, GO, GO.
One of the kids says THEY ALSO HAD
A MASSIVE TRAMPOLINE
THAT WE COULD ALL JUMP ON.
Dominique says AND FALL ON.
They all start jumping on the trampoline.
[ALL SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
[ALL SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Angelica says THE FIELD TRIP
WAS AWESOME.
Mattias says IT WAS REALLY FUN.
Aly says OUTDOOR CLASSROOM.
An animation shows the design for the outdoor classroom.
Angelica says MICHAEL AND ALY AND I
WORKED ON ONE OF THE BENCHES.
Michael says ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE TO CUT
SOME NOTCHES IN THE BOTTOM.
WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY?
Angelica says I WAS A LITTLE BIT SCARED
BUT I WANTED TO DO IT.
YEAH.
IT WAS SCARY AND EXCITING.
Michael helps her use a circular saw to cut a pole.
Michael holds a chisel against the wood and Aly hits it with a hammer to make a wedge.
Michael says SPARE MY HAND THE AGONY.
ALTHOUGH I SENSE IT'S COMING.
Aly says I DIDN'T THINK I'D
HIT MICHAEL AT ALL.
Michael says ALL RIGHT, THERE WE GO,
THAT WAS IT.
I FELT THAT ONE.
THAT WAS GOOD.
OH YES. ALL RIGHT.
EXCELLENT.
ALL RIGHT GOOD.
HOW'S IT FITTING?
The girls fit a beam in the wedge.
Michael says OH PERFECT!
AND THAT WILL BE OUR BENCH
WHEN WE FLIP IT OVER.
Aly says I THINK THE BENCHES
ARE GOING TO LOOK REALLY GOOD.
(music plays)
(music plays)
A kid says MINERAL BENCH.
An animation shows the design for the mineral bench.
Dominique says ARE THESE THE MINERALS
YOU GUYS HAD FROM THIS MORNING?
Aidan and Mattias say YES.
Aidan says WE TRIED TO REPLICATE
THEM ONTO THE WALL.
Mattias says WE PUT A LOT OF TAPE
TO MAKE THE ROCKS, LIKE, SHOW.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING
TO LOOK LIKE SPACE.
Dominique says AND WHEN WE TAKE
OFF THE TAPE,
WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE
IT WITH WHITE,
SO IT'S GOING TO LOOK
LIKE THERE'S A SHIMMER.
Mattias says I'VE NEVER SPRAY PAINTED BEFORE.
I FEEL REALLY PUMPED UP.
Dominique says PERFECT.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
The kids take the tape off.
Mattias says IT'S GOING TO BE
LOOKING REALLY AWESOME.
(music plays)
Teagan says END OF DAY ONE!
Aidan says THIS HAS BEEN

I LOVE USING POWER TOOLS.
Michael says YOU WANT TO GIVE

Aidan says THE BIT KEPT ON
SLIPPING OFF THE SCREW
SO IT KEPT ON MAKING
LITTLE HOLES EVERYWHERE
BUT I FINALLY GOT IT.
Michael says NICE TECHNIQUE.
NICELY DONE.

Mattias says THAT'S GIGANTIC.
Michael says THAT IS GIGANTIC!
Mattias says I'M SCARED.
Michael says SCARED?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
LOOK AT IT. IT'S CUTE.
THIS THING'S AWESOME.
Lachlan says ME AND MATTIAS
HAD TO DECIDE
OVER WHO WAS GOING TO
USE THE DRILL FIRST
BECAUSE WE BOTH
KIND OF DIDN'T WANT TO.
They play rock, paper, scissors.
Mattias wins.
Michael says YOU GET TO CHOOSE
WHO'S GOING FIRST.
Mattias says SO I SAID I'LL GO FIRST.
AND IT KEPT ON
GOING LIKE, DZZ-DZZ.
IT WAS DRILLING
INTO THE GROUND.
THERE WAS A LOT OF DUST.
IT'S EASY.
Lachlan takes his turn.
Michael says ALL RIGHT.
THERE WE GO.
JUST THAT EASY.
A kid says MINING CART SPRINGY.
Aidan says ANGELICA AND I
WERE WORKING AS A TEAM
TO PUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS
IN THE HOLES FOR THE SPRINGS
TO HOLD THE SPRINGS
ONTO IT
SO IT CAN ROCK
FORWARD AND BACKWARDS.
Michael says THOSE ARE SOME PRETTY
FANCY NAILS YOU GOT THERE.
Aidan says THANKS.
Michael holds the structure in place and says MY JOB IS
THE EASY JOB, FYI.
SO I GOT THE SPRINGS.
Aidan says OH GOSH.
Michael says YOU GUYS GOT THAT?
PERFECT.
Aidan says IT LOOKS JUST LIKE MY DESIGN.
UH-OH, UH-OH, UH-OH.

A kid says BREAK TIME!
Teagan says WITH DOMINIQUE,
WE PLAYED A GAME.
Dominique says BASICALLY WE'RE GOING

FOR IF YOU WERE GOING TO
HAVE A CAREER IN MINING.
The kids have to crawl under some police tape wrapped around trees.
Dominique says GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
Mattias says WE HAD TO
LIKE CRAWL UNDER THE LITTLE
LIKE GIVER CAUTION SIGNS,
AND THEN WE HAD TO CRAWL
ALL THE WAY TO OUR HELMETS
AND WE HAD TO PUT IT ON.
Dominique says PUT YOUR HAND TO
YOUR KNEE AND YOU TURN.
HAND ON THE KNEE!
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
Mattias says THEN WE HAD TO CRAWL ALL THE WAY
TO OUR BUCKET OF TREASURE.
Dominique says ONCE YOU FIND YOUR LOOT.
Mattias says IT WAS A REALLY
GOOD LIKE, WORKOUT.
Dominique says WHAT DID YOU GUYS FIND?
Angelica says TREASURE!
Mattias says THERE WAS GOOD STUFF
IN THAT BUCKET.
Lachlan says DIAMONDS! MERCI!
Teagan says HALFWAY THROUGH DAY TWO.

NONE OF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE
WITHOUT OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS.
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!

Dominique says WE'RE GETTING
CLOSER TO FINISHING
OUR NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
AND YUKON PLAYGROUND.
Angelica says MY MURAL!
An animation shows the design for Angelica’s mural.
Angelica says I WANT TO MAKE A MURAL
THAT CELEBRATES THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVED IN CANADA
BEFORE CANADA WAS CANADA.
IN YELLOWKNIFE,
WE HAVE LOTS OF WOODS
AND THE CARIBOU WITH THE MOON
REPRESENTS THE GWITCHIN.
MOST OF MY FAMILY
IS GWITCHIN.
GWITCHIN PEOPLE
THEY NEED
LIKE TREES
FOR AIR AND WOOD.
THEY DRINK THE WATERS FROM
THE LAKE BECAUSE OUR LAKES
ARE HUMONGOUS SO IT DOESN'T
CARE, WHOEVER PEES IN IT.
Dominique laughs and says I'M GOING TO NEED YOU GUYS
TO DO SOME BOB ROSSING FOR ME.
Dominique, Angelica and Lachlan start painting on the canvas.
Dominique says WE CAN DO
A LITTLE FLOWERS.
ANYTHING YOU WANT.
YEAH IT'S OKAY IF
YOU GET UNDER IT.
WE'RE GOING TO ADD
SOME MOUNTAINS.
WE'RE GOING
TO ADD COOL STUFF.
Angelica says LIKE THAT?
Dominique says THAT'S AWESOME.
YEAH, GO!
NOW NOT TOO MUCH.
YOU DON'T WANT IT TO LEAK,
JUST A BIT HERE.
(music plays)
A kid says OUTDOOR CLASSROOM.
Aly and Lachlan paint a board with chalkboard paint.
Aly says I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD
MAKE A CHALKBOARD OUT OF PAINT.
Michael says OKAY, AND NO LUMPS.
DON'T FORGET.
WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND YOU SEE
SORT OF A BLOTCHY OR A LUMPY.
SQUEEZE IT OUT.
IT'S LIKE WE'RE PAVING A ROAD,
WITH PAINT ROLLERS.
EXCEPT IT'S PAINT.
IT'S NOT LIKE
PAINTING AT ALL.
(music plays)
(music plays)
Michael says LOVELY.
WE'RE GOING TO SIT HERE
AND WATCH PAINT DRY.
CONCENTRATE.
IT DRIES FASTER.
Lachlan says THIS IS GETTING
VERY BORING.
Michael says YOU KNOW,
WE CAN TAKE A BREAK.
LET'S TAKE A BREAK,
WE'LL COME BACK IN TEN MINUTES
AND WE'LL DO
THE NEXT COAT OKAY?
Teagan says I THINK THAT THE BEST
THING I DID TODAY
WAS WHEN I DROVE
THE BOBCAT.
IT'S FUN.
Michael says YEAH.
Teagan says I DROVE OVER WOOD,
POSTS,
INTO ROCKS.
YEAH, AFTER I DROVE INTO
A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF
I THINK I GOT
THE HANG OF IT.
(music plays)
(music plays)
Michael says THEN WE MET MY FRIEND ERIC
FROM CANADA'S ROYAL MINT.
THEY MAKE THE STUFF YUKON
AND NORTHWEST TERRITORIES MINE
INTO MONEY.
Eric is in his thirties, clean-shaven and with short wavy brown hair. He wears jeans and a pink shirt.
Eric says WE TAKE THOSE RAW MINERALS
THAT COME OUT OF THE GROUND
AND WE ACTUALLY
PURIFY THEM.
Aidan says WHEN THEY GET IT THERE
THEY HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP
AND THEN THEY MAKE
THE COINS OUT OF IT.
Angelica says IF IT'S GOLD,
HOW CAN YOU SHAPE IT INTO THIS?
Eric says ROLL IT OUT.
ALMOST LIKE COOKIE DOUGH
AND THEN WE CUT OUT
THOSE SHAPES
AND THEN WE ACTUALLY STAMP
DOWN THE DESIGN ON THEM
AND THEN THAT'S HOW YOU END UP
WITH A COIN LIKE THAT
THAT'S THAT SHAPE
WITH THAT DESIGN ON IT.
Mattias says AND HE SHOWED US
A LOT OF LIKE COINS
THAT ARE MADE OUT
OF GOLD AND SILVER.
Eric says HERE'S ACTUALLY
ANOTHER NEAT LITTLE COIN
THAT WE DID RECENTLY.
IT'S ACTUALLY GOT A MAZE
BUILT INTO IT
SO AS YOU TILT THE COIN,
YOU ACTUALLY
NAVIGATE THE MAZE.
Mattias says ERIC GAVE US EACH A COIN
FOR WORKING SO HARD
ON THE PLAYGROUND.
Angelica says THANKS.
Eric says WELL THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR HAVING ME
AND I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THIS PLAYGROUND ONCE IT'S DONE.
A kid says MINING PAN SWING.
Michael says ONE, TWO, THREE. OH MY GOSH.
YOU GUYS ARE STRONG.
They lift a metal structure.
Michael says ALL RIGHT. SLOW.
THAT'S IT.

Mattias says IT'S SO HOT

Teagan says WE TRIED BY OURSELVES
BUT WE COULDN'T DO IT
SO WE ASKED SOME
VOLUNTEERS TO COME.
Michael says NOW WE'RE GOING TO STAND
IT UP A LITTLE BIT
AND WE'RE
GOING TO PUSH.
Lachlan hangs from the structure and says I DIDN'T WANT TO LET GO
BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE PRETTY FUN.
Teagan says OH, LACHLAN.
Mattias says I WANNA TRY THAT!
THAT WAS FUN!
Michael says GOOD JOB.

They all say NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
AND YUKON.
Michael says YUKON. PERFECT!
Angelica says I COME FROM YELLOWKNIFE
IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES.
Michael says WHAT'S LIFE
LIKE IN YELLOWKNIFE?
Angelica says WELL, MOSTLY IN THE WINTER TIME,
IT'S PRETTY FREEZING.
Michael says PRETTY FREEZING?
Images of snow covered peaks appear.
Angelica says REALLY FREEZING.
THE TEMPERATURE ONCE
WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN
TO MINUS 51
DEGREES CELSIUS.
THAT'S ALMOST AS COLD
AS IT IS ON MARS.
Michael says AND SO WHO ELSE HAS
BEEN TO THE YUKON THEN?
Lachlan raises his hand.
Michael says YES?
Lachlan says I'M FROM
WHITEHORSE, YUKON.
Michael says WHAT'S LIFE LIKE
IN WHITEHORSE?
Lachlan says DARK.
DARK?
Lachlan says BECAUSE THE YUKON
IS SO FAR NORTH,
WE ONLY HAVE SIX HOURS
OF DAYLIGHT IN THE WINTER.
BUT IN THE SUMMER
IT'S BRIGHT OUT UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
Teagan says WE'RE DOING A MINING
THEMED PLAYGROUND
BECAUSE IN THE YUKON
AND NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
THERE HAS BEEN
HUGE GOLD RUSHES.
Angelica says LOTS OF MINING.
LOTS OF GOLD.
Dominique says IN 1896, OVER 100,000 PEOPLE
TRAVELED TO YUKON
LOOKING FOR GOLD.
SO MANY PEOPLE CAME
THAT IT DOUBLED
THE POPULATION OF YUKON.
TODAY, PEOPLE MINE DIAMONDS,
COPPER AND SILVER.
Michael says SO I SEE YOU'VE ALL BROUGHT
SOME DRAWINGS HERE
FOR YOUR PLAYGROUND IDEAS.
The kids show Michael their sketches.
Teagan says WE HAD SO MANY
AWESOME IDEAS.
Aidan says THE MINE CART
IS A SPRING TOY.
Michael says OH OKAY, GREAT IDEA.
Teagan says IT'S A SWING SET.
BUT IT WOULD BE IN
THE SHAPE OF A MINING PAN.
SO YOU CAN
CLIMB UP INTO IT.
Aly says THESE ARE CHAIRS,
AND THEN THIS IS A CHALKBOARD.
Michael says LIKE AN AUDITORIUM
OR LIKE AN OUTDOOR
CLASSROOM SORT OF THING.
GREAT, WE'VE NEVER
DONE ONE OF THESE.
Lachlan says I DID A MINING
TUNNEL CLIMBER.
AND YOU CLIMB ON
THE OUTSIDE AND IN THE INSIDE.
Michael says SO THIS IS OF YOUR MURAL
THAT YOU WANT TO DO?
Angelica says YES.
LIKE A BIG PAINTING.
IT HAS LIKE LAKES,
FORESTS, CARIBOU.
NATIVES ARE IN THE NORTHWEST
TERRITORIES IS PRETTY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE MY FAMILY HAS LIVED HERE
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
WE WERE HERE BEFORE CANADA
WAS EVEN CANADA.
Mattias says THIS IS THE BENCH.
IT'S MADE OUT OF A LOT OF
LIKE ROCKS AND MINERALS.
IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST
PLAYGROUND EVER!
Michael says TO CELEBRATE
THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
AND YUKON'S
GREAT MINING HISTORY,
THE GIVER TEAM
DESIGNED A MINING PLAYGROUND.
LACHLAN WANTS A MINING
TUNNEL CLIMBER.
MATTIAS WANTS
MINERAL BENCHES.
ANGELICA WANTS A MURAL
THAT REFLECTS
HER ABORIGINAL CULTURE.
ALY WANTS
AN OUTDOOR CLASSROOM.
AIDAN WANTS MINING
CART SPRING TOYS
AND TEAGAN WANTS A SWING
THAT LOOKS LIKE A MINING PAN.
An animation shows the whole design of the playground.
Teagan says I KNOW WE CAN GET THIS
PLAYGROUND DONE IN THREE DAYS.
Michael says READY TO GIVER?
Kids say YEAH!
Michael says ALL RIGHT, WELL THEN-
Everyone says LET'S GIVER!
Michael says LET'S GO!
[ALL CHEERING]
Angelica says TIME TO GET TO WORK.
MINING TUNNEL CLIMBER.
The animation shows the design for the mining tunnel climber.
Angelica says MINERS USED
TO USE EXPLOSIONS
TO GET TO
THE MINERALS UNDERGROUND.
AFTER THAT,
THEY'D DIG TUNNELS
TO GET EVEN DEEPER.
TO STAY SAFE, THEY'D BUILD
TRESTLES; THESE PIECES.
An animation shows a wooden frame.
She says SO THE NEW TUNNELS
DON'T COLLAPSE.
Michael says WE ARE GOING TO PUT TOGETHER
OUR FIRST TRESTLE
AND WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS
ARE INCREDIBLY LARGE SCREWS
AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING
TO ASSEMBLE IT OKAY?
THAT AND GLUE.
THE ONLY DOWN SIDE TO
POLYURETHANE GLUE,
YOU GET IT ON YOUR SKIN,
IT STAYS ON FOR A WEEK.
IT'S AWFUL.
Teagan says I DID NOT WANT
THAT GLUE ON MY SKIN.
Michael says BASICALLY
PULL THE TRIGGER.
Teagan says THE GLUE GUN THAT WE USED
WAS UNLIKE ANY THAT
I'VE USED BEFORE.
IT WAS MORE LIKE A PUMP.
Michael says ONE, TWO, THREE.
They put a wooden piece on top of another,
Michael says CLOSE IN THAT GAP.
PERFECT.
THERE YOU GO.
Teagan drives the screws in.
Michael says LIKE A PRO.
HOLY SMOKES.
Lachlan says SHE SEEMED TO KNOW
WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
Michael says THAT'S IT.
NICE.
Teagan says WE TOOK A DRILL
WITH A VERY LONG BIT PIECE.
The bit piece is about 15 inches long.
Lachlan says IT WAS ABOUT THIS LONG.
Teagan says THEN WE MADE A GIGANTIC
SKINNY HOLE IN THE WOOD.
Michael says ALL RIGHT.
Teagan says AND WE ALSO USED
A LONG SCREW LIKE BOLT
TO CONNECT THE TWO
PIECES TOGETHER.
Michael says THAT'S IT.
HALF TURN AT A TIME.
Teagan says IT'S GETTING HARDER.
Michael says THAT'S PROGRESS.
Lachlan says DO YOU NEED HELP?
Teagan says NO THANKS.
ALMOST DONE.
Michael says ALL RIGHT
HERE'S NUMBER TWO ALL RIGHT.
AFTER THAT THERE'S ONLY
22 MORE, SO DON'T WORRY.
ALL RIGHT, HAVE FUN.
SEE YOU GUYS IN A BIT.
Teagan says WHAT?
LET'S SEE IF THE HOLE
IS ALREADY DONE.
Michael says DON'T FORGET THE WASHER!
(music plays)
(music plays)
(music plays)
Aly says I DROVE A TRUCK
TO DROP OFF ROCKS.
Michael says SO THESE
ARE GOING TO BE THE ROCKS
FOR OUR BIG CLIMBER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
PERFECT.
Angelica says I ALMOST GOT
A LITTLE BIT TOO CLOSE.
I SAID STOP.
(music plays)
Michael says PERFECT.
Angelica says ALY, MICHAEL AND ME,
WE WERE A GREAT TEAM.
Dominique says THE GIVER TEAM
WAS WORKING SO HARD
THAT MICHAEL AND I DECIDED
TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BREAK.
[SANDRA]
Sandra is in her thirties, with long straight brown hair in a ponytail. She wears a black tank top and white shorts.
She says HELLO!
The kids say HI!
Sandra says COME ON, COME ON.
Teagan says WE GOT TO GO TO SANDRA'S FARM
AND DIG FOR GOLD
LIKE THEY DID IN THE OLDEN DAYS.
Sandra says SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING
SOME GEM MINING TODAY
AT THE SOUNDERS FARM
MINING COMPANY.
SPRINKLE LIKE THAT.
EXACTLY.
Each kid works with their own pan.
Mattias says WE PUT THE PAN
IN THE WATER
AND THEN WE SHAKED IT
AROUND A LOT
AND THEN THE SAND
WOULD GO OUT THE BOTTOM
OF THE LITTLE HOLES.
Angelica says AND YOU LIFT IT BACK UP
AND YOU COULD SEE
LIKE EMERALDS, GOLD.
I'M GETTING QUITE A FEW.
Aly says I'M GETTING HUGE GEMS.
Dominique says THREE, TWO, ONE.
Teagan says I FOUND A TON OF JEWELS.
BIG PIECES, GOLD,
SMALL ONES.
Mattias says DID I FIND DIAMONDS?
IS THIS DIAMOND?
Dominique gives him a brochure and says HERE YOU GO.
YOU COULD FIND OUT. CHECK.
Sandra says I THINK THAT'S A QUARTZ.
Mattias says I'M PRETTY SURE I
FOUND A DIAMOND.
Sandra says WHOA!
THAT'S HUGE.
Angelica shows a big black rock.
Aidan says IT LOOKS LIKE MARS.
Sandra says A LITTLE SALTY?
Lachlan licks a rock and says KIND OF.
[LAUGHS]
Michael says FOLLOW ME.
LET'S GO EVERYBODY.
Sandra says GO, GO, GO.
One of the kids says THEY ALSO HAD
A MASSIVE TRAMPOLINE
THAT WE COULD ALL JUMP ON.
Dominique says AND FALL ON.
They all start jumping on the trampoline.
[ALL SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
[ALL SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Angelica says THE FIELD TRIP
WAS AWESOME.
Mattias says IT WAS REALLY FUN.
Aly says OUTDOOR CLASSROOM.
An animation shows the design for the outdoor classroom.
Angelica says MICHAEL AND ALY AND I
WORKED ON ONE OF THE BENCHES.
Michael says ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE TO CUT
SOME NOTCHES IN THE BOTTOM.
WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY?
Angelica says I WAS A LITTLE BIT SCARED
BUT I WANTED TO DO IT.
YEAH.
IT WAS SCARY AND EXCITING.
Michael helps her use a circular saw to cut a pole.
Michael holds a chisel against the wood and Aly hits it with a hammer to make a wedge.
Michael says SPARE MY HAND THE AGONY.
ALTHOUGH I SENSE IT'S COMING.
Aly says I DIDN'T THINK I'D
HIT MICHAEL AT ALL.
Michael says ALL RIGHT, THERE WE GO,
THAT WAS IT.
I FELT THAT ONE.
THAT WAS GOOD.
OH YES. ALL RIGHT.
EXCELLENT.
ALL RIGHT GOOD.
HOW'S IT FITTING?
The girls fit a beam in the wedge.
Michael says OH PERFECT!
AND THAT WILL BE OUR BENCH
WHEN WE FLIP IT OVER.
Aly says I THINK THE BENCHES
ARE GOING TO LOOK REALLY GOOD.
(music plays)
(music plays)
A kid says MINERAL BENCH.
An animation shows the design for the mineral bench.
Dominique says ARE THESE THE MINERALS
YOU GUYS HAD FROM THIS MORNING?
Aidan and Mattias say YES.
Aidan says WE TRIED TO REPLICATE
THEM ONTO THE WALL.
Mattias says WE PUT A LOT OF TAPE
TO MAKE THE ROCKS, LIKE, SHOW.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING
TO LOOK LIKE SPACE.
Dominique says AND WHEN WE TAKE
OFF THE TAPE,
WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE
IT WITH WHITE,
SO IT'S GOING TO LOOK
LIKE THERE'S A SHIMMER.
Mattias says I'VE NEVER SPRAY PAINTED BEFORE.
I FEEL REALLY PUMPED UP.
Dominique says PERFECT.
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
The kids take the tape off.
Mattias says IT'S GOING TO BE
LOOKING REALLY AWESOME.
(music plays)
Teagan says END OF DAY ONE!
Aidan says THIS HAS BEEN
AN AMAZING DAY.
Michael says END OF DAY ONE AND THANK
GOODNESS FOR THIS GIVER TEAM.
THEY REALLY DUG IN.
THE GIVER TEAM STARTED BUILDING

BUT WE GOT A LOT TO DO TOMORROW
SO I'LL SEE YOU THEN.
Angelica says I CAN'T WAIT FOR DAY TWO!
A kid says DAY TWO.
Mattias says BEGINNING OF DAY TWO.
Teagan says WE'RE BUILDING
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES AND YUKON.
Michael says BEGINNING OF DAY TWO.

THE TEACHER'S STAGE.
I LOVE USING POWER TOOLS.
Michael says YOU WANT TO GIVE

Aidan says THE BIT KEPT ON
SLIPPING OFF THE SCREW
SO IT KEPT ON MAKING
LITTLE HOLES EVERYWHERE
BUT I FINALLY GOT IT.
Michael says NICE TECHNIQUE.
NICELY DONE.

BY THE WAY.
A kid says MINING TUNNEL CLIMBER.
Michael says EVERYBODY LIFTING.

They all lift a trestle.
Michael says OKAY. TA-DA.
NICELY DONE, NICELY DONE.
Lachlan says THEN WE GOT TO

GOOD SHARING BOYS.
THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT.
Mattias says SERIOUSLY?

Michael says THAT'S THE NEXT
PART OF IT,
AND IT'S A PRETTY AMAZING
TOOL THAT DOES IT.
WE'RE GOING TO USE THAT.
Mattias says THAT'S GIGANTIC.
Michael says THAT IS GIGANTIC!
Mattias says I'M SCARED.
Michael says SCARED?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
LOOK AT IT. IT'S CUTE.
THIS THING'S AWESOME.
Lachlan says ME AND MATTIAS
HAD TO DECIDE
OVER WHO WAS GOING TO
USE THE DRILL FIRST
BECAUSE WE BOTH
KIND OF DIDN'T WANT TO.
They play rock, paper, scissors.
Mattias wins.
Michael says YOU GET TO CHOOSE
WHO'S GOING FIRST.
Mattias says SO I SAID I'LL GO FIRST.
AND IT KEPT ON
GOING LIKE, DZZ-DZZ.
IT WAS DRILLING
INTO THE GROUND.
THERE WAS A LOT OF DUST.
IT'S EASY.
Lachlan takes his turn.
Michael says ALL RIGHT.
THERE WE GO.
JUST THAT EASY.
A kid says MINING CART SPRINGY.
Aidan says ANGELICA AND I
WERE WORKING AS A TEAM
TO PUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS
IN THE HOLES FOR THE SPRINGS
TO HOLD THE SPRINGS
ONTO IT
SO IT CAN ROCK
FORWARD AND BACKWARDS.
Michael says THOSE ARE SOME PRETTY
FANCY NAILS YOU GOT THERE.
Aidan says THANKS.
Michael holds the structure in place and says MY JOB IS
THE EASY JOB, FYI.
SO I GOT THE SPRINGS.
Aidan says OH GOSH.
Michael says YOU GUYS GOT THAT?

Aidan says IT LOOKS JUST LIKE MY DESIGN.
UH-OH, UH-OH, UH-OH.

A kid says BREAK TIME!
Teagan says WITH DOMINIQUE,
WE PLAYED A GAME.
Dominique says BASICALLY WE'RE GOING

FOR IF YOU WERE GOING TO
HAVE A CAREER IN MINING.
The kids have to crawl under some police tape wrapped around trees.
Dominique says GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
Mattias says WE HAD TO
LIKE CRAWL UNDER THE LITTLE
LIKE GIVER CAUTION SIGNS,
AND THEN WE HAD TO CRAWL
ALL THE WAY TO OUR HELMETS
AND WE HAD TO PUT IT ON.
Dominique says PUT YOUR HAND TO
YOUR KNEE AND YOU TURN.
HAND ON THE KNEE!
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
Mattias says THEN WE HAD TO CRAWL ALL THE WAY
TO OUR BUCKET OF TREASURE.
Dominique says ONCE YOU FIND YOUR LOOT.
Mattias says IT WAS A REALLY
GOOD LIKE, WORKOUT.
Dominique says WHAT DID YOU GUYS FIND?
Angelica says TREASURE!
Mattias says THERE WAS GOOD STUFF
IN THAT BUCKET.
Lachlan says DIAMONDS! MERCI!
Teagan says HALFWAY THROUGH DAY TWO.

NONE OF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE
WITHOUT OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS.
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
AMAZING.
Dominique says WE'RE GETTING
CLOSER TO FINISHING
OUR NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
AND YUKON PLAYGROUND.
Angelica says MY MURAL!
An animation shows the design for Angelica’s mural.
Angelica says I WANT TO MAKE A MURAL
THAT CELEBRATES THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVED IN CANADA
BEFORE CANADA WAS CANADA.
IN YELLOWKNIFE,
WE HAVE LOTS OF WOODS
AND THE CARIBOU WITH THE MOON
REPRESENTS THE GWITCHIN.
MOST OF MY FAMILY
IS GWITCHIN.
GWITCHIN PEOPLE
THEY NEED
LIKE TREES
FOR AIR AND WOOD.
THEY DRINK THE WATERS FROM
THE LAKE BECAUSE OUR LAKES
ARE HUMONGOUS SO IT DOESN'T
CARE, WHOEVER PEES IN IT.
Dominique laughs and says I'M GOING TO NEED YOU GUYS
TO DO SOME BOB ROSSING FOR ME.
Dominique, Angelica and Lachlan start painting on the canvas.
Dominique says WE CAN DO
A LITTLE FLOWERS.
ANYTHING YOU WANT.
YEAH IT'S OKAY IF
YOU GET UNDER IT.
WE'RE GOING TO ADD
SOME MOUNTAINS.
WE'RE GOING

Angelica says LIKE THAT?
Dominique says THAT'S AWESOME.
YEAH, GO!
NOW NOT TOO MUCH.
YOU DON'T WANT IT TO LEAK,
JUST A BIT HERE.
(music plays)
A kid says OUTDOOR CLASSROOM.
Aly and Lachlan paint a board with chalkboard paint.
Aly says I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD
MAKE A CHALKBOARD OUT OF PAINT.
Michael says OKAY, AND NO LUMPS.
DON'T FORGET.
WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND YOU SEE
SORT OF A BLOTCHY OR A LUMPY.
SQUEEZE IT OUT.
IT'S LIKE WE'RE PAVING A ROAD,
WITH PAINT ROLLERS.
EXCEPT IT'S PAINT.
IT'S NOT LIKE
PAINTING AT ALL.
(music plays)
(music plays)
Michael says LOVELY.
WE'RE GOING TO SIT HERE
AND WATCH PAINT DRY.
CONCENTRATE.
IT DRIES FASTER.
Lachlan says THIS IS GETTING
VERY BORING.
Michael says YOU KNOW,
WE CAN TAKE A BREAK.
LET'S TAKE A BREAK,
WE'LL COME BACK IN TEN MINUTES
AND WE'LL DO
THE NEXT COAT OKAY?
Teagan says I THINK THAT THE BEST
THING I DID TODAY
WAS WHEN I DROVE
THE BOBCAT.
IT'S FUN.
Michael says YEAH.
Teagan says I DROVE OVER WOOD,
POSTS,
INTO ROCKS.
YEAH, AFTER I DROVE INTO
A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF
I THINK I GOT
THE HANG OF IT.
(music plays)
(music plays)
Michael says THEN WE MET MY FRIEND ERIC
FROM CANADA'S ROYAL MINT.
THEY MAKE THE STUFF YUKON
AND NORTHWEST TERRITORIES MINE
INTO MONEY.
Eric is in his thirties, clean-shaven and with short wavy brown hair. He wears jeans and a pink shirt.
Eric says WE TAKE THOSE RAW MINERALS
THAT COME OUT OF THE GROUND
AND WE ACTUALLY
PURIFY THEM.
Aidan says WHEN THEY GET IT THERE
THEY HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP
AND THEN THEY MAKE
THE COINS OUT OF IT.
Angelica says IF IT'S GOLD,
HOW CAN YOU SHAPE IT INTO THIS?
Eric says ROLL IT OUT.
ALMOST LIKE COOKIE DOUGH
AND THEN WE CUT OUT
THOSE SHAPES
AND THEN WE ACTUALLY STAMP
DOWN THE DESIGN ON THEM
AND THEN THAT'S HOW YOU END UP
WITH A COIN LIKE THAT
THAT'S THAT SHAPE
WITH THAT DESIGN ON IT.
Mattias says AND HE SHOWED US
A LOT OF LIKE COINS
THAT ARE MADE OUT
OF GOLD AND SILVER.
Eric says HERE'S ACTUALLY
ANOTHER NEAT LITTLE COIN
THAT WE DID RECENTLY.
IT'S ACTUALLY GOT A MAZE
BUILT INTO IT
SO AS YOU TILT THE COIN,
YOU ACTUALLY
NAVIGATE THE MAZE.
Mattias says ERIC GAVE US EACH A COIN
FOR WORKING SO HARD
ON THE PLAYGROUND.
Angelica says THANKS.
Eric says WELL THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR HAVING ME
AND I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
THIS PLAYGROUND ONCE IT'S DONE.
A kid says MINING PAN SWING.

YOU GUYS ARE STRONG.
They lift a metal structure.
Michael says ALL RIGHT. SLOW.
THAT'S IT.

Mattias says IT'S SO HOT

Teagan says WE TRIED BY OURSELVES
BUT WE COULDN'T DO IT
SO WE ASKED SOME
VOLUNTEERS TO COME.
Michael says NOW WE'RE GOING TO STAND
IT UP A LITTLE BIT
AND WE'RE
GOING TO PUSH.
Lachlan hangs from the structure and says I DIDN'T WANT TO LET GO
BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE PRETTY FUN.
Teagan says OH, LACHLAN.
Mattias says I WANNA TRY THAT!
THAT WAS FUN!
Michael says GOOD JOB.
I LOVE THIS THING.
