    Our first Short of Season 3! There are nine more, each focused on a National Historic Site or National Park, administered by Parks Canada. We filmed them in English and French, a first for us! Be sure to stick to the end for a pretty lengthy bonus tale that relates to the Napoleonic Wars and Lake Ontario. Thanks for watching!

      We thought about clarifying that in the moment but decided to keep it simple. If we make a choice like that, to side with pacing/simplicity/comprehension over exposition, we usually point that out in the description--which we did in this case. Thanks for watching!

      @Canadiana  2 роки тому +4

      We've had a massive Banff-focused episode in our back-pocket for years now, we even did some scouting and preliminary filming a couple of years ago during a conference. But unfortunately it just didn't fit with the logistics of Season 3. We also leaned much more towards National Historic Sites rather than National Parks since they don't see the same amount of attention in general. Depending on how this season goes, Banff, and Alberta in general, would be one of the central focuses of a fourth season.

      I live in part of Maine that was British until after the revolution, and yeah, same here. There are MASSIVE, arrow straight pines here and there, and to this day we've always called them "Kings Pine".
      I do the dad thing and tell my kids why every time we see one. The ridge behind my house has hundreds of em all in one area, so I get lots of chances... it's a dense enough concentration that I suspect they were selected and planted back in the day just for mast wood, but who knows.

    I worked in Rouge Park taking groups on hikes and planting trees to restore the degraded parts of the forest! I was told it was heavily logged, and that all the trees were newer growth, but it was fascinating to hear the story behind exactly how and why it was degraded so heavily!

    I grew up in Scarborough in the seventies. As kids we rode our bikes to the Rouge river. It was about a 45 minute bike ride. We were then out in the “country”. As teenagers we rode our motorcycles and cars there. This was where we partied. Such a great experience for kids living in urban neighbourhoods. I am a little shocked that we were never taught about the British using the Rouge forest for ship building.

      Those networks are more concerned with rewriting Canadian history than they are with presenting it as it is.

    If I were a Canadian educator, I'd be using your mini-docs in my Canadian history classes to supplement my instruction. These are high quality, magnificent productions, and there is sooo much Canadian history - the good and the bad - that Canadians deserve to know.
    If you haven't already, you should consider applying to *Heritage Canada* and the *Canada Council for the Arts* for funding grants which would allow you to produce more content more frequently. Heck I'd even suggest you approach the CBC to co-produce/air half hour (or longer) documentaries (just make sure you keep control of the project). The CBC's *_Canada: A People's History_* series (2000-2001) was a huge disappointment in that it didn't delve into the detailed depths of Canadian history.
    Seriously, you and your crew are 'diamonds in the rough'.

      There's about 250,000 known lakes in Ontario alone, and oddly exact figures are difficult as some are inaccessible by land and require aerial identification. Some have dried up or drained naturally, and some smaller bodies of water have increased in size enough to be considered lakes.

    My first home near Milton Ontario was an old log cabin built in 1837. I saw the land deed and I can confirm that it reserved for the Crown, any Gold or Silver mine on the property and all White Pine trees.
    Co-incidentally, the logs used to build the home were: White Pine. In consideration of the Royal Navy’s role in securing the defence and wealth of G. B. then and for the previous 300 years, I’m not at all surprised White Pine masts were valued as much as they were.

    I know this season is about national parks, but one day could you do a (maybe mini) episode on the town of Collingwood, Ontario? They had a unique way of launching ships called the side launch and built many of the British and Canadian ships of WWI and WWII. Or perhaps an mini-episode on The H.M.S Nancy which played a crucial part in the war of 1812 before sinking in the Nottawasaga river and becoming a very cool museum and reinactment location. They also built an island around a the ship wreck. Anyways I just found this channel and I love it! Keep it updude!

      We will absolutely keep it in mind. We have a list of over 100 sketched out episodes, all across the country, that we hope to make in the future. We have been directed by many viewers towards stories of all sizes, so we jot them down. Ontario is a province we have barely tapped--same for Alberta--so it wouldn't surprise us to be filming something in or about Collingwood down the line.
      Only a couple of episodes this season focus on National Parks, most include the wide variety of National Historic Sites that cover the nation. We filmed in over 150 locations, many of which are neither National Historic Sites or Parks!

      A slide launch is not a new technology, many ship yards use that method

      @@JS-jh4cy Correct, but the side launch is a major part of Collingwood history and they arguably perfected it. I suppose I misspoke (mistyped?) when I said it was unique, though at the time there were very few shipyards still employing the method,

    This was fascinating - history I never knew about. I lived in Toronto in the 80s and often hiked and cycled through many trails in the Rouge Valley never knowing about its historical significance regarding Napoleon. Thanks for this documentary.
