Transcript
An animated Parks Canada logo of a beaver fades in and out.
[paddle dipping, loon calling]
A wooden oar dips into blue water. The water ripples as a man with short grey hair, and wearing a lifejacket, paddles along an inlet. Behind him are shores lined mainly with evergreens.
[sticks snapping, feet landing]
A hiking boot steps on moss. A sneaker hops on a play structure.
[clicking]
Hands flick on a lighter and light a camp stove.
[laughter, trunk closing]
At a campsite, a young woman laughs as she shuts the trunk of her vehicle.
A woman wearing a plaid shirt strolls a path through the woods. As she passes evergreens, her fingertips trace along the rough surface of their bark.
A stick clangs against a metal play structure. The canoeist paddles toward a tree-covered mountain in the distance across an inlet. The pale morning sky is reflected in the water’s glassy surface.
At a picnic table, water from a camp kettle is poured into a metal mug.
A woman chops wood with an axe.
The sun shimmers on calm water.
[song begins: flute playing over the rhythm of park sounds]
At a Visitor Centre, a young girl plays with a true-or-false interactive exhibit.
[sizzling]
On a camp stove, an egg fries in a frying pan.
A kettle is lifted off an open flame. Then, two women clink mugs over breakfast.
[loon calling]
Morning mist rises off the ocean.
A group of children ride their bikes on a road through the campground.
At a playground, three kids pile onto a zipline together.
[beads falling]
Beads make a clacking noise on bicycle spokes, and a child hits a metal post with a stick.
[tent zipping, door closing]
A family takes the stairs up to their Ôasis accommodation in the woods. The young boy and girl smile as they close the door of the tear-shaped hut mounted on stilts.
[water splashing]
A rock splashes in water.
At the Visitor Centre, a young girl counts whale vertebrae on display.
A hiker arrives at a lookout and peers through a telescope.
Stretches of old growth forest extends down to coves and inlets.
[canopy branches creaking]
Towering trees sway beneath a blue sky.
Two hikers, one using a walker and the other using a cane, stroll across a wooden pedestrian bridge that crosses a calm river.
They reach a path through the woods.
At a campsite, young people pitch a tent.
Later that night, they laugh around a campfire as they roast marshmallows.
[tent zipping]
In the darkness, they zip themselves into their tent.
Autumn leaves float on water. A downy woodpecker perches on a branch.
A man stands on the porch of his oTENTik canvas cabin. On the lawn in front of the accommodation, his partner sits in a muskoka chair sipping from a mug.
Later, they stand at the water’s edge. The man has his arm around the woman as he points across the bay.
[loon calling]
The couple kayaks across the water.
People hike a trail along a rocky bluff.
They pause at the edge of a ridge to view a vast maze of inlets and coves winding through lush boreal forest.
