  in

• 3:31
  So
• 3:32
  hi
• 3:32
  Kira.
• 3:33
  Hi.
• 3:33
  How's
• 3:34
  it
• 3:34
  going?
• 3:35
  Good.
• 3:35
  How
• 3:35
  about
• 3:35
  you?
• 3:36
  Excellent.
• 3:37
  Excellent.
• 3:38
  So
• 3:38
  I
• 3:38
  know
• 3:39
  today
• 3:39
  our
• 3:39
  conversation
• 3:40
  is
• 3:40
  all
• 3:40
  around
• 3:41
  Canmore
• 3:42
  and
• 3:42
  the
• 3:43
  significance
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  Canmore
• 3:44
  Bow
• 3:45
  Valley
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  Banff
• 3:46
  national
• 3:47
  park
• 3:48
  area
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  what
• 3:49
  it
• 3:49
  meant
• 3:49
  to
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  and
• 3:50
  what
• 3:50
  it
• 3:51
  means
• 3:51
  to
• 3:51
  you.
• 3:52
  And
• 3:53
  so
• 3:53
  I
• 3:53
  just
• 3:54
  thought
• 3:54
  we
• 3:55
  would
• 3:55
  start
• 3:55
  with
• 3:56
  just
• 3:56
  discussing
• 3:57
  your
• 3:58
  first
• 4:00
  recollection
• 4:01
  or
• 4:01
  thoughts
• 4:02
  on
• 4:03
  what
• 4:03
  you
• 4:03
  thought
• 4:03
  of
• 4:04
  all
• 4:04
  your
• 4:04
  visits
• 4:04
  and
• 4:05
  continued
• 4:05
  visits
• 4:06
  to
• 4:06
  Canmore.
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  think
• 4:08
  the
• 4:09
  first
• 4:09
  thing
• 4:09
  when
• 4:09
  I
• 4:09
  think
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  Canmore
• 4:11
  is
• 4:11
  that
• 4:12
  it's
• 4:12
  like,
• 4:12
  it
• 4:12
  was
• 4:13
  like
• 4:13
  a
• 4:13
  coming
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  age
• 4:14
  for
• 4:14
  me.
• 4:14
  It's
• 4:14
  where
• 4:14
  I
• 4:14
  grew
• 4:15
  up.
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  always
• 4:16
  said
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  Canmore
• 4:17
  was
• 4:17
  my
• 4:18
  second
• 4:18
  home.
• 4:19
  It
• 4:19
  was
• 4:19
  my
• 4:19
  home
• 4:19
  away
• 4:19
  from
• 4:20
  home.
• 4:21
  And
• 4:21
  so
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  was
• 4:22
  able
• 4:23
  to
• 4:23
  just
• 4:23
  step
• 4:23
  back
• 4:24
  from
• 4:24
  reality
• 4:24
  and
• 4:25
  just
• 4:26
  learn
• 4:27
  who
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  was
• 4:27
  and
• 4:28
  what
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  liked
• 4:29
  without,
• 4:29
  you
• 4:29
  know,
• 4:30
  worrying
• 4:30
  about
• 4:30
  school
• 4:31
  or
• 4:31
  worrying
• 4:31
  about
• 4:31
  what
• 4:31
  was
• 4:32
  going
• 4:32
  on
• 4:32
  at
• 4:32
  home.
• 4:33
  So
• 4:34
  when
• 4:34
  you
• 4:34
  say
• 4:35
  what
• 4:35
  you
• 4:36
  liked,
• 4:37
  in
• 4:38
  what
• 4:38
  manner,
• 4:38
  what
• 4:39
  was
• 4:39
  it
• 4:40
  that
• 4:40
  you
• 4:40
  liked
• 4:40
  or
• 4:41
  you
• 4:41
  Learned.
• 4:42
  Well,
• 4:43
  first
• 4:43
  of
• 4:43
  all,
• 4:43
  the
• 4:44
  people
• 4:44
  in
• 4:44
  Canmore
• 4:45
  are
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  lot
• 4:45
  more
• 4:45
  chill.
• 4:46
  They're
• 4:47
  very
• 4:47
  laid
• 4:47
  back
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  love
• 4:48
  that
• 4:48
  about
• 4:49
  them.
• 4:49
  And
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  lot
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  them
• 4:49
  are
• 4:50
  honestly
• 4:50
  tourists
• 4:50
  too.
• 4:51
  So
• 4:51
  you're
• 4:51
  meeting
• 4:51
  people
• 4:52
  from
• 4:52
  all
• 4:52
  over
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  world
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  then
• 4:54
  obviously
• 4:54
  you're
• 4:55
  surrounded
• 4:55
  by
• 4:55
  like
• 4:56
  beautiful
• 4:56
  mountains
• 4:58
  that
• 4:58
  just
• 4:59
  have
• 4:59
  a
• 4:59
  peaceful
• 5:00
  demeanor
• 5:01
  about
• 5:01
  them
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  you're
• 5:03
  able
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  do
• 5:03
  things
• 5:04
  that
• 5:04
  you
• 5:04
  can't
• 5:04
  do
• 5:04
  in
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  city.
• 5:05
  Right.
• 5:06
  So
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  know
• 5:07
  you,
• 5:08
  you
• 5:08
  did
• 5:08
  many
• 5:09
  things.
• 5:09
  And
• 5:10
  so
• 5:10
  maybe
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  can
• 5:11
  tell
• 5:11
  me
• 5:12
  what
• 5:14
  special
• 5:14
  activities
• 5:16
  stick
• 5:16
  out
• 5:16
  in
• 5:16
  your
• 5:16
  mind
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  you
• 5:17
  can
• 5:17
  do
• 5:18
  in
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  mountains
• 5:18
  that
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  really
• 5:19
  can't
• 5:19
  do
• 5:20
  in
• 5:20
  other
• 5:21
  areas.
• 5:22
  Yeah,
• 5:23
  for
• 5:23
  starters,
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  can
• 5:24
  go
• 5:24
  skiing
• 5:25
  and
• 5:26
  snowboarding
• 5:26
  on
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  mountains.
• 5:28
  It's
• 5:28
  not
• 5:28
  quite
• 5:28
  the
• 5:29
  same
• 5:29
  when
• 5:29
  you're,
• 5:30
  you're
• 5:30
  skiing
• 5:31
  on
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  hill,
• 5:31
  it's
• 5:32
  like
• 5:32
  maybe
• 5:32
  30
• 5:33
  seconds
• 5:33
  long
• 5:33
  and
• 5:33
  then
• 5:34
  you're
• 5:34
  back
• 5:34
  on
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  chairlift
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  it's,
• 5:36
  it's
• 5:36
  not
• 5:37
  very
• 5:37
  long
• 5:37
  lived.
• 5:38
  It's
• 5:38
  just
• 5:38
  like
• 5:39
  one
• 5:40
  done
• 5:40
  kind
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  thing,
• 5:41
  right?
• 5:41
  A
• 5:41
  little,
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  little
• 5:42
  air
• 5:42
  in
• 5:42
  your
• 5:43
  hair
• 5:43
  and
• 5:43
  then
• 5:43
  you're
• 5:43
  done.
• 5:44
  You're
• 5:44
  done.
• 5:44
  You
• 5:44
  don't
• 5:45
  even
• 5:45
  get
• 5:45
  wind
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  you're
• 5:46
  at
• 5:46
  the
• 5:47
  bottom.
• 5:48
  Hiking,
• 5:50
  there's
• 5:50
  not
• 5:51
  as
• 5:51
  many
• 5:52
  hikes.
• 5:53
  And
• 5:54
  being
• 5:55
  able
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  just
• 5:55
  climb
• 5:56
  up
• 5:56
  a
• 5:56
  mountain
• 5:56
  and
• 5:57
  reach
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  top
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  like
• 5:58

• 5:58
  down
• 5:58
  at
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  beautiful
• 5:59
  town
• 6:00
  below
• 6:00
  you
• 6:01
  and
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  rivers.
• 6:03
  Can
• 6:03
  you,
• 6:04
  can
• 6:04
  you
• 6:04
  think
• 6:04
  of
• 6:04
  a
• 6:05
  special
• 6:05
  hike
• 6:06
  that
• 6:07
  stands
• 6:07
  out?
• 6:07
  And
• 6:08
  even
• 6:09
  though
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  return
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  Canmore
• 6:10
  over
• 6:11
  and
• 6:11
  over
• 6:11
  again,
• 6:12
  you
• 6:12
  think,
• 6:13
  I
• 6:13
  think
• 6:13
  I'd
• 6:13
  like
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  go
• 6:14
  do
• 6:14
  that
• 6:14
  hike
• 6:14
  again.
• 6:15
  There's
• 6:15
  actually
• 6:16
  two.
• 6:16
  So
• 6:17
  one
• 6:17
  of
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  easier
• 6:18
  ones
• 6:18
  is
• 6:18
  called
• 6:18
  Grassy
• 6:19
  Lakes.
• 6:19
  I've
• 6:19
  been
• 6:19
  there
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  few
• 6:20
  times.
• 6:21
  You
• 6:21
  can
• 6:22
  go
• 6:22
  like
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  main
• 6:22
  route
• 6:23
  or
• 6:23
  there's
• 6:23
  like
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  more
• 6:25
  difficult
• 6:25
  terrain,
• 6:26
  I
• 6:26
  want
• 6:26
  to
• 6:26
  say.
• 6:27
  And
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  brings
• 6:27
  you
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  side
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  mountain.
• 6:29
  You
• 6:29
  can
• 6:29
  see
• 6:29
  like
• 6:30
  Mount
• 6:30
  People
• 6:30
  climbing
• 6:31
  up
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  mountains.
• 6:32
  There's
• 6:32
  lakes,
• 6:33
  obviously
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  name,
• 6:34
  and
• 6:35
  then
• 6:35
  there's
• 6:36
  also
• 6:36
  Ha
• 6:36
  Ling,
• 6:37
  which
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  did
• 6:37
  climb
• 6:37
  when
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  think
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  was
• 6:38
  about
• 6:38
  12
• 6:39
  with
• 6:39
  my
• 6:39
  grandpa,
• 6:39
  my
• 6:39
  papa,
• 6:40
  who's
• 6:40
  here
• 6:40
  with
• 6:41
  me.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  yeah,
• 6:42
  we
• 6:43
  ended
• 6:43
  up
• 6:43
  summoning
• 6:43
  that
• 6:44
  mountain,
• 6:44
  which
• 6:44
  is
• 6:45
  one
• 6:45
  of
• 6:45
  like
• 6:45
  my
• 6:45
  greatest
• 6:46
  accomplishments
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  this
• 6:47
  day,
• 6:47
  I
• 6:47
  want
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  say.
• 6:48
  Yeah,
• 6:48
  that
• 6:48
  was
• 6:48
  a
• 6:49
  lot
• 6:49
  of
• 6:49
  fun.
• 6:49
  It
• 6:50
  was
• 6:50
  very
• 6:50
  last
• 6:50
  minute
• 6:51
  too.
• 6:51
  It
• 6:52
  was,
• 6:52
  it
• 6:52
  was.
• 6:53
  And
• 6:53
  I,
• 6:53
  I'm
• 6:54
  not
• 6:54
  sure
• 6:54
  if
• 6:54
  we
• 6:54
  had
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  right
• 6:55
  footwear.
• 6:56
  And
• 6:56
  I
• 6:56
  would
• 6:57
  suggest
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  people,
• 6:57
  if
• 6:58
  they
• 6:58
  are
• 6:59
  out
• 6:59
  in
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  Camor
• 7:00
  area
• 7:00
  and
• 7:00
  decide
• 7:00
  to
• 7:01
  do
• 7:01
  Ha
• 7:01
  Ling,
• 7:01
  they
• 7:02
  make
• 7:02
  sure
• 7:02
  they're
• 7:02
  wearing
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  right
• 7:03
  footwear.
• 7:04
  For
• 7:04
  sure.
• 7:04
  Yeah.
• 7:05
  And
• 7:05
  bring
• 7:05
  lots
• 7:05
  of
• 7:06
  water.
• 7:06
  Lots
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  water.
• 7:07
  Absolutely.
• 7:08
  Maybe
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  raincoat
• 7:09
  too,
• 7:09
  because
• 7:10
  somehow
• 7:10
  it's
• 7:10
  always
• 7:10
  Raining
• 7:11
  at
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  top.
• 7:12
  Tr.
• 7:13
  True.
• 7:14
  And
• 7:14
  like
• 7:14
  you
• 7:14
  said,
• 7:15
  Grassy
• 7:15
  lakes
• 7:16
  is
• 7:16
  pretty
• 7:16
  remarkable
• 7:17
  because
• 7:18
  when
• 7:18
  you
• 7:18
  hike
• 7:18
  up
• 7:19
  to
• 7:19
  about
• 7:20
  maybe
• 7:21
  three
• 7:21
  quarters
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  way
• 7:22
  up
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  mountain,
• 7:22
  all
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  a
• 7:23
  sudden
• 7:23
  there's
• 7:23
  these
• 7:23
  two
• 7:24
  small
• 7:24
  lakes
• 7:25
  right
• 7:25
  in
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  middle
• 7:26
  of
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  mountains.
• 7:27
  Pretty
• 7:27
  spectacular.
• 7:28
  And
• 7:29
  with.
• 7:30
  With
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  colors
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  water,
• 7:32
  pretty
• 7:32
  amazing.
• 7:33
  The
• 7:34
  whole
• 7:34
  idea
• 7:35
  behind
• 7:35
  the
• 7:36
  adventures
• 7:36
  of
• 7:36
  Caboose,
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  Rocky
• 7:38
  Mountain
• 7:38
  Bear
• 7:39
  all
• 7:39
  started
• 7:40
  because
• 7:42
  you
• 7:43
  had
• 7:43
  these
• 7:44
  two
• 7:44
  stuffies
• 7:45
  named
• 7:46
  Georgia
• 7:47
  and
• 7:47
  George,
• 7:48
  and
• 7:49
  they
• 7:49
  came
• 7:50
  on
• 7:50
  adventures
• 7:51
  with
• 7:51
  us.
• 7:52
  So
• 7:52
  maybe
• 7:52
  describe
• 7:53
  what
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  remember
• 7:54
  about
• 7:55
  that.
• 7:55
  George.
• 7:56
  And
• 7:57
  first
• 7:57
  it
• 7:57
  was
• 7:58
  Georgia,
• 7:58
  and
• 7:59
  then
• 7:59
  George,
• 7:59
  her
• 8:00
  brother.
• 8:00
  What
• 8:00
  do
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  remember
• 8:01
  about
• 8:01
  that?
• 8:02
  Yeah,
• 8:02
  so
• 8:03
  I
• 8:03
  was,
• 8:03
  like,
• 8:04
  in
• 8:04
  daycare
• 8:04
  at
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  time.
• 8:05
  And
• 8:06
  what
• 8:06
  they
• 8:06
  did
• 8:06
  is
• 8:06
  they
• 8:06
  would
• 8:07
  rent
• 8:07
  out
• 8:07
  these
• 8:07
  stuffies.
• 8:08
  They'd
• 8:08
  let
• 8:08
  you
• 8:08
  take
• 8:08
  them
• 8:08
  on
• 8:09
  trips.
• 8:09
  And
• 8:09
  the
• 8:10
  whole
• 8:10
  idea
• 8:10
  was
• 8:10
  so
• 8:11
  that
• 8:11
  these
• 8:11
  stuffies
• 8:12
  could
• 8:12
  see
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  whole
• 8:13
  world,
• 8:13
  you
• 8:13
  know,
• 8:14
  whether
• 8:14
  they
• 8:14
  were
• 8:14
  going
• 8:15
  to
• 8:15
  Cancun
• 8:16
  on
• 8:16
  a
• 8:16
  beautiful
• 8:16
  tropical
• 8:17
  vacation
• 8:18
  or,
• 8:18
  like
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  mountains.
• 8:19
  And
• 8:20
  they
• 8:20
  came
• 8:20
  with
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  little
• 8:21
  suitcase
• 8:22
  filled
• 8:22
  with
• 8:22
  clothes
• 8:23
  that
• 8:23
  you
• 8:23
  could
• 8:23
  change
• 8:23
  out
• 8:24
  their
• 8:24
  clothes
• 8:24
  throughout
• 8:24
  the
• 8:25
  trip.
• 8:26
  And
• 8:27
  I
• 8:27
  don't
• 8:27
  know,
• 8:27
  I
• 8:27
  like,
• 8:28
  loved
• 8:28
  stuffies
• 8:28
  growing
• 8:29
  up.
• 8:29
  So
• 8:29
  being
• 8:30
  able
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  bring
• 8:31
  this.
• 8:32
  This
• 8:33
  little
• 8:33
  stuffy
• 8:33
  on
• 8:33
  an
• 8:34
  adventure
• 8:34
  with.
• 8:35
  With
• 8:35
  me
• 8:35
  was
• 8:36
  just
• 8:36
  so
• 8:36
  special.
• 8:37
  Right.
• 8:37
  It
• 8:38
  was
• 8:38
  like
• 8:38
  having
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  friend
• 8:39
  along.
• 8:39
  Exactly
• 8:40
  right.
• 8:40
  And
• 8:41
  I
• 8:41
  still
• 8:41
  remember
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  first
• 8:42
  time
• 8:43
  we
• 8:43
  went
• 8:43
  to
• 8:43
  Canmore
• 8:44
  together
• 8:44
  is
• 8:44
  just
• 8:45
  you,
• 8:45
  me,
• 8:46
  and
• 8:46
  Georgia.
• 8:47
  And
• 8:47
  I
• 8:47
  remember
• 8:48
  how
• 8:49
  concerned
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  were
• 8:49
  about
• 8:50
  Georgia,
• 8:50
  and
• 8:50
  we
• 8:51
  had
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  make
• 8:51
  sure
• 8:52
  she
• 8:52
  was
• 8:52
  buckled
• 8:52
  in
• 8:53
  in
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  backseat
• 8:54
  with
• 8:54
  you.
• 8:54
  Oh,
• 8:54
  yeah.
• 8:55
  She
• 8:55
  was
• 8:55
  one
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  us.
• 8:56
  She
• 8:56
  was
• 8:57
  definitely
• 8:57
  one
• 8:57
  of
• 8:57
  us.
• 8:58
  So
• 8:58
  we
• 8:59
  definitely
• 8:59
  had
• 8:59
  to
• 8:59
  make
• 9:00
  sure
• 9:00
  she
• 9:00
  was
• 9:00
  safe
• 9:00
  and
• 9:01
  sound.
• 9:02
  And
• 9:02
  then
• 9:02
  when
• 9:02
  we
• 9:03
  got
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  Canmore,
• 9:04
  it
• 9:05
  was.
• 9:05
  Tell
• 9:06
  me
• 9:06
  about,
• 9:07
  like,
• 9:07
  what
• 9:08
  triggered
• 9:09
  this
• 9:09
  whole
• 9:09
  idea
• 9:10
  that
• 9:10
  we
• 9:10
  needed
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  take
• 9:11
  her
• 9:11
  to.
• 9:12
  Like,
• 9:12
  we
• 9:12
  went
• 9:12
  and
• 9:13
  went
• 9:13
  to
• 9:14
  so
• 9:14
  many
• 9:14
  different
• 9:15
  places
• 9:15
  with
• 9:15
  her.
• 9:16
  Yeah.
• 9:16
  So
• 9:17
  can
• 9:17
  you
• 9:17
  remember
• 9:17
  back
• 9:18
  when
• 9:18
  you
• 9:18
  were
• 9:19
  younger
• 9:19
  and
• 9:20
  actually
• 9:20
  doing
• 9:20
  all
• 9:21
  that?
• 9:22
  Vaguely.
• 9:22
  Yeah.
• 9:22
  But
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  think
• 9:23
  what
• 9:23
  was
• 9:23
  going
• 9:23
  through
• 9:23
  my
• 9:24
  mind
• 9:24
  was
• 9:24
  like,
• 9:24
  I
• 9:25
  need
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  introduce
• 9:26
  this
• 9:26
  stuffy
• 9:26
  to
• 9:27
  as
• 9:27
  many
• 9:27
  adventures
• 9:28
  as
• 9:28
  possible
• 9:28
  possible.
• 9:28
  Like,
• 9:29
  she
• 9:29
  needs
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  see
• 9:29
  all
• 9:29
  these
• 9:30
  things.
• 9:30
  She.
• 9:31
  She
• 9:31
  needs
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  be
• 9:32
  able
• 9:32
  to
• 9:32
  go
• 9:32
  back
• 9:32
  and
• 9:33
  tell
• 9:33
  her
• 9:33
  stuffy
• 9:34
  friends
• 9:34
  exactly
• 9:34
  what
• 9:35
  she
• 9:35
  saw
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  what
• 9:35
  she
• 9:35
  experienced.
• 9:37
  For
• 9:37
  sure.
• 9:38
  And
• 9:38
  it
• 9:38
  is
• 9:39
  amazing
• 9:39
  how
• 9:39
  many
• 9:40
  different
• 9:40
  places
• 9:41
  we
• 9:41
  went.
• 9:41
  Yeah.
• 9:42
  And
• 9:42
  think
• 9:42
  about,
• 9:42
  like,
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  other
• 9:43
  kids
• 9:43
  that
• 9:44
  took
• 9:44
  her
• 9:44
  on
• 9:44
  trips
• 9:45
  too.
• 9:45
  Right.
• 9:45
  She's
• 9:46
  probably
• 9:46
  a
• 9:46
  lot
• 9:46
  more
• 9:47
  traveled
• 9:47
  than
• 9:47
  most
• 9:48
  people.
• 9:48
  Exactly,
• 9:49
  exactly.
• 9:50
  And
• 9:51
  do
• 9:51
  you
• 9:52
  remember
• 9:53
  taking
• 9:54
  her
• 9:54
  to
• 9:54
  the
• 9:55
  Canmore
• 9:56
  Folk
• 9:57
  Festival?
• 9:57
  I
• 9:57
  know
• 9:58
  that
• 9:58
  folk
• 9:59
  festival
• 9:59
  is
• 9:59
  quite
• 10:00
  famous.
• 10:00
  I
• 10:00
  think
• 10:00
  it's
• 10:01
  now
• 10:01
  being.
• 10:02
  It's
• 10:02
  the
• 10:02
  oldest
• 10:02
  folk
• 10:02
  festival
• 10:03
  in
• 10:03
  Alberta.
• 10:04
  Been
• 10:04
  running
• 10:05
  for
• 10:05
  over
• 10:05
  40
• 10:06
  years.
• 10:06
  Do
• 10:06
  you
• 10:06
  remember
• 10:06
  taking
• 10:07
  her
• 10:07
  to
• 10:07
  the
• 10:07
  folk
• 10:08
  festival
• 10:08
  the
• 10:08
  first
• 10:08
  time?
• 10:09
  Kind
• 10:10
  of.
• 10:10
  I
• 10:10
  mean,
• 10:10
  I
• 10:11
  was
• 10:11
  young
• 10:11
  at
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  time,
• 10:12
  but
• 10:13
  I
• 10:13
  do
• 10:13
  remember
• 10:14
  that
• 10:15
  she
• 10:15
  was
• 10:15
  getting
• 10:16
  pretty
• 10:16
  thirsty,
• 10:17
  so
• 10:17
  I
• 10:17
  had
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  give
• 10:17
  her
• 10:17
  some
• 10:18
  lemonade
• 10:18
  to
• 10:18
  cool
• 10:19
  her
• 10:19
  down.
• 10:19
  It
• 10:20
  was
• 10:20
  pretty
• 10:20
  hot
• 10:20
  outside.
• 10:22
  Yeah,
• 10:22
  she
• 10:22
  came
• 10:23
  everywhere
• 10:23
  with
• 10:23
  me.
• 10:23
  She
• 10:23
  saw
• 10:24
  lots
• 10:24
  of
• 10:24
  live
• 10:25
  bands,
• 10:25
  live
• 10:25
  artists.
• 10:26
  She
• 10:27
  saw
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  vendors.
• 10:29
  Yeah,
• 10:30
  it's
• 10:30
  pretty
• 10:30
  neat,
• 10:31
  for
• 10:31
  sure.
• 10:31
  So
• 10:32
  what
• 10:32
  would
• 10:33
  you
• 10:33
  think
• 10:34
  was
• 10:34
  one
• 10:34
  of
• 10:34
  your
• 10:35
  favorite
• 10:35
  moments
• 10:36
  with
• 10:36
  her
• 10:36
  at
• 10:36
  the
• 10:37
  Canmore
• 10:37
  Folk
• 10:38
  Festival?
• 10:39
  Just
• 10:39
  sitting
• 10:39
  in
• 10:40
  our
• 10:40
  chairs,
• 10:40
  enjoying
• 10:41
  our
• 10:41
  drinks,
• 10:42
  our
• 10:42
  food,
• 10:43
  and
• 10:43
  watching
• 10:43
  the
• 10:44
  live
• 10:44
  performers.
• 10:45
  I
• 10:45
  think
• 10:45
  she
• 10:45
  actually
• 10:45
  liked
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  people
• 10:47
  on
• 10:47
  stilts,
• 10:48
  too.
• 10:48
  They
• 10:48
  were
• 10:49
  quite
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  lot
• 10:49
  taller
• 10:50
  than
• 10:50
  her.
• 10:51
  Me
• 10:51
  too.
• 10:52
  That's
• 10:52
  so
• 10:53
  true.
• 10:53
  That's
• 10:53
  so
• 10:54
  true.
• 10:54
  And
• 10:55
  you
• 10:55
  know,
• 10:55
  it's
• 10:56
  interesting
• 10:56
  too,
• 10:56
  when
• 10:57
  we
• 10:57
  think
• 10:57
  back
• 10:58
  to
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  Cammor
• 10:58
  Folk
• 10:59
  Festival
• 11:00
  and
• 11:00
  you
• 11:00
  introduced
• 11:01
  her
• 11:01
  to.
• 11:02
  Like
• 11:03
  you
• 11:03
  said,
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  people
• 11:04
  in
• 11:04
  Camor
• 11:05
  tend
• 11:05
  to
• 11:05
  be
• 11:05
  very
• 11:05
  friendly,
• 11:06
  laid
• 11:06
  back.
• 11:06
  And
• 11:07
  a
• 11:07
  lot
• 11:07
  of
• 11:07
  times
• 11:07
  they're,
• 11:08
  they're,
• 11:08
  they're.
• 11:09
  They
• 11:09
  were
• 11:09
  tourists
• 11:09
  like
• 11:10
  us.
• 11:10
  And
• 11:11
  I
• 11:11
  remember
• 11:11
  when
• 11:12
  we
• 11:12
  went
• 11:12
  to
• 11:12
  the
• 11:12
  Camel
• 11:13
  Folk
• 11:13
  Festival,
• 11:13
  we
• 11:14
  met
• 11:14
  a
• 11:14
  couple
• 11:14
  named
• 11:15
  Linda
• 11:15
  and
• 11:16
  Tom,
• 11:16
  and
• 11:16
  they
• 11:16
  were
• 11:17
  from
• 11:17
  Portland,
• 11:18
  Oregon.
• 11:18
  Do
• 11:19
  you
• 11:19
  remember
• 11:19
  that?
• 11:19
  Of
• 11:20
  course
• 11:20
  I
• 11:20
  remember
• 11:21
  that.
• 11:22
  We
• 11:22
  actually
• 11:23
  met
• 11:23
  them.
• 11:24
  I
• 11:24
  believe
• 11:24
  it
• 11:24
  was
• 11:25
  the
• 11:25
  first
• 11:25
  day
• 11:25
  on
• 11:25
  the
• 11:26
  Friday
• 11:26
  we
• 11:27
  were
• 11:27
  waiting
• 11:27
  in
• 11:27
  line
• 11:28
  and
• 11:28
  they
• 11:28
  ended
• 11:29
  up
• 11:29
  sitting
• 11:29
  beside
• 11:30
  us.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:31
  they
• 11:31
  had
• 11:31
  a
• 11:32
  granddaughter
• 11:32
  around
• 11:32
  the
• 11:33
  same
• 11:33
  age.
• 11:33
  So
• 11:33
  we
• 11:33
  started
• 11:34
  talking
• 11:35
  and
• 11:35
  never
• 11:36
  stopped.
• 11:36
  We
• 11:36
  still
• 11:36
  keep
• 11:36
  in
• 11:37
  contact
• 11:37
  with
• 11:38
  them
• 11:38
  to
• 11:38
  this
• 11:38
  day.
• 11:39
  My
• 11:40
  grandparents
• 11:40
  went
• 11:40
  and
• 11:41
  visited
• 11:41
  them
• 11:41
  in
• 11:41
  Portland.
• 11:43
  We're
• 11:43
  really
• 11:43
  good
• 11:43
  friends.
• 11:44
  We,
• 11:44
  like
• 11:44
  spent
• 11:44
  the
• 11:44
  rest
• 11:44
  of
• 11:45
  the
• 11:45
  festival
• 11:45
  with
• 11:45
  them.
• 11:46
  We
• 11:46
  played
• 11:47
  Uno
• 11:47
  in
• 11:47
  line.
• 11:48
  We
• 11:48
  always
• 11:48
  stuck
• 11:49
  together.
• 11:49
  We
• 11:49
  watched
• 11:49
  the
• 11:50
  bands
• 11:50
  together.
• 11:52
  Definitely
• 11:52
  a
• 11:52
  lot
• 11:53
  of
• 11:53
  fun.
• 11:53
  And
• 11:53
  like
• 11:53
  you
• 11:53
  said,
• 11:54
  there's
• 11:54
  a
• 11:54
  lasting
• 11:55
  friendship
• 11:56
  that
• 11:57
  has
• 11:57
  been
• 11:58
  going
• 11:58
  on
• 11:58
  for,
• 11:59
  oh,
• 11:59
  well
• 12:00
  over
• 12:00
  ten
• 12:00
  years
• 12:01
  now,
• 12:01
  so.
• 12:02
  And
• 12:02
  I
• 12:02
  think
• 12:02
  that's
• 12:03
  also
• 12:03
  like
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  beautiful
• 12:04
  thing
• 12:04
  about
• 12:05
  the
• 12:05
  festival.
• 12:06
  You're
• 12:06
  just.
• 12:06
  Everyone
• 12:07
  is
• 12:07
  so
• 12:07
  calm
• 12:07
  and
• 12:08
  laid
• 12:08
  back
• 12:08
  that
• 12:09
  you
• 12:09
  have
• 12:09
  the
• 12:09
  chance
• 12:09
  to
• 12:10
  talk
• 12:10
  to
• 12:10
  strangers.
• 12:11
  And,
• 12:12
  you
• 12:13
  know,
• 12:13
  whether
• 12:13
  it's
• 12:13
  someone
• 12:14
  that's
• 12:14
  like
• 12:14
  you
• 12:15
  meet
• 12:15
  in
• 12:15
  the
• 12:15
  line
• 12:16
  or
• 12:16
  somebody
• 12:16
  like
• 12:16
  in
• 12:17
  the
• 12:17
  bathroom
• 12:17
  line,
• 12:18
  like
• 12:18
  anywhere,
• 12:18
  you
• 12:18
  know,
• 12:19
  you
• 12:19
  can
• 12:19
  just
• 12:20
  chit
• 12:20
  chat.
• 12:21
  Yeah,
• 12:22
  Fast
• 12:22
  friends.
• 12:23
  Exactly.
• 12:24
  Which
• 12:24
  is
• 12:24
  like
• 12:25
  not
• 12:25
  that
• 12:26
  common.
• 12:26
  These.
• 12:26
  A
• 12:26
  lot
• 12:26
  of
• 12:26
  people
• 12:27
  are
• 12:27
  like,
• 12:27
  maybe
• 12:27
  Internet
• 12:28
  friends,
• 12:28
  but
• 12:29
  it's
• 12:29
  not
• 12:30
  super
• 12:30
  common.
• 12:30
  You
• 12:30
  just
• 12:31
  meet
• 12:31
  a
• 12:31
  stranger
• 12:32
  out
• 12:32
  and
• 12:32
  about,
• 12:32
  that
• 12:32
  becomes
• 12:33
  a
• 12:33
  lifelong
• 12:33
  friend.
• 12:34
  So
• 12:35
  out
• 12:35
  of
• 12:35
  this,
• 12:36
  the.
• 12:36
  Out
• 12:36
  of
• 12:36
  the.
• 12:38
  I
• 12:38
  guess
• 12:38
  you
• 12:39
  might
• 12:39
  call
• 12:39
  it
• 12:41
  the
• 12:42
  seedling.
• 12:43
  I
• 12:43
  don't
• 12:43
  know
• 12:44
  seedling,
• 12:44
  because
• 12:44
  I'm
• 12:44
  thinking
• 12:45
  about
• 12:45
  the
• 12:45
  forest
• 12:46
  and
• 12:46
  the
• 12:46
  mountains.
• 12:47
  But
• 12:47
  you
• 12:47
  know,
• 12:47
  this
• 12:48
  whole
• 12:48
  idea
• 12:49
  that
• 12:49
  Georgia
• 12:50
  and
• 12:50
  George
• 12:51
  actually
• 12:51
  then
• 12:52
  helped
• 12:53
  us
• 12:53
  develop
• 12:53
  our
• 12:54
  Own
• 12:54
  idea,
• 12:56
  which
• 12:56
  is
• 12:56
  Caboose
• 12:57
  the
• 12:58
  Rocky
• 12:58
  Mountain
• 12:58
  Bear.
• 12:59
  And
• 13:00
  can
• 13:00
  you
• 13:00
  remember
• 13:00
  how
• 13:01
  that
• 13:01
  all
• 13:02
  started?
• 13:03
  So
• 13:03
  it
• 13:03
  actually
• 13:03
  started
• 13:03
  in
• 13:04
  a
• 13:04
  coffee
• 13:04
  shop
• 13:04
  in
• 13:05

  Very

  on
• 13:06
  brand
• 13:07
  to
• 13:07
  the
• 13:07
  whole
• 13:07

  we're

  know,

  we

  should.

  to

  people
• 13:23
  that.

  To
• 13:28
  do
• 13:28
  the
• 13:28
  same
• 13:28
  thing

• 13:30
  get
• 13:31
  off
• 13:31
  their
• 13:31
  screens
• 13:32
  and
• 13:33
  be
• 13:33
  able
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  enjoy
• 13:34
  life
• 13:34
  and,
• 13:34
  you
• 13:34
  know.
• 13:35
  Get
• 13:36
  out
• 13:36
  in
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  great
• 13:36
  outdoors.
• 13:37
  Yeah.
• 13:37
  Whether
• 13:38
  it's
• 13:38
  like,
• 13:38
  you
• 13:39
  know,
• 13:39
  in
• 13:39
  your
• 13:39
  town
• 13:40
  or
• 13:40
  maybe
• 13:40
  even
• 13:40
  go
• 13:41
  to
• 13:41
  the
• 13:41
  Rocky
• 13:42
  Mountains.
• 13:43
  I'm
• 13:43
  trying
• 13:44
  to
• 13:44
  remember
• 13:44
  back
• 13:45
  to
• 13:45
  when
• 13:45
  we
• 13:45
  went
• 13:45
  to
• 13:46
  the
• 13:46
  coffee
• 13:46
  shop,
• 13:47
  and
• 13:47
  I
• 13:47
  think
• 13:48
  by
• 13:48
  that
• 13:48
  time
• 13:49
  you
• 13:49
  were
• 13:50
  no
• 13:50
  longer
• 13:51
  involved
• 13:51
  in
• 13:51
  the
• 13:52
  daycare.
• 13:53
  No,
• 13:53
  and
• 13:53
  I
• 13:54
  think
• 13:54
  we
• 13:54
  were.
• 13:54
  We
• 13:55
  talked
• 13:55
  to
• 13:55
  ourselves.
• 13:56
  We
• 13:56
  talked
• 13:57
  between
• 13:57
  you
• 13:57
  and
• 13:57
  me
• 13:58
  and
• 13:58
  thought,
• 13:58
  oh,
• 13:59
  you
• 13:59
  know
• 13:59
  what?
• 13:59
  We
• 14:00
  no
• 14:00
  longer
• 14:00
  have
• 14:01
  Georgia
• 14:02
  or
• 14:02
  George
• 14:02
  to
• 14:03
  accompany
• 14:03
  us,
• 14:03
  but
• 14:04
  we
• 14:04
  have
• 14:04
  to
• 14:05
  now
• 14:05
  have
• 14:06
  our.
• 14:06
  Bring
• 14:06
  our
• 14:07
  own
• 14:07
  friend
• 14:07
  or
• 14:07
  our
• 14:08
  own
• 14:08
  new
• 14:09
  family
• 14:09
  member.
• 14:10
  Yeah.
• 14:10
  We
• 14:10
  have
• 14:10
  the
• 14:10
  memories
• 14:11
  and.
• 14:12
  Right.
• 14:12
  I
• 14:12
  think
• 14:12
  we're
• 14:13
  ready
• 14:13
  to
• 14:13
  bring
• 14:13
  on
• 14:14
  a
• 14:14
  new
• 14:14
  buddy.
• 14:15
  A
• 14:15
  new
• 14:16
  buddy.
• 14:16
  So
• 14:16
  we
• 14:16
  came
• 14:17
  up
• 14:17
  with
• 14:18
  Caboose
• 14:18
  the
• 14:18
  Rocky
• 14:19
  Mountain
• 14:19
  Bear.
• 14:20
  And
• 14:21
  at
• 14:21
  the
• 14:22
  time,
• 14:22
  did
• 14:22
  you
• 14:23
  even
• 14:23
  know
• 14:23
  what
• 14:23
  a
• 14:23
  caboose
• 14:24
  was?
• 14:25
  No,
• 14:26
  probably
• 14:26
  not.
• 14:27
  No.
• 14:27
  I
• 14:27
  can
• 14:28
  remember
• 14:28
  we.
• 14:29
  We
• 14:30
  had
• 14:30
  my
• 14:30
  dad's
• 14:31
  old.
• 14:32
  Your
• 14:32
  great
• 14:32
  grandfather's
• 14:33
  old
• 14:34
  train
• 14:34
  set,
• 14:35
  and
• 14:35
  at
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  end
• 14:36
  of
• 14:36
  the
• 14:36
  train
• 14:37
  there
• 14:38
  was
• 14:38
  a
• 14:38
  caboose.
• 14:38
  And
• 14:39
  I
• 14:39
  think
• 14:39
  we
• 14:39
  got
• 14:40
  around
• 14:40
  to
• 14:40
  talking
• 14:41
  because
• 14:41
  you
• 14:41
  said,
• 14:41
  what
• 14:42
  is
• 14:42
  that?
• 14:42
  Because
• 14:43
  in
• 14:43
  Canmore,
• 14:45
  it
• 14:45
  has
• 14:45
  a
• 14:46
  main
• 14:46
  railway
• 14:47
  line
• 14:47
  and
• 14:47
  the
• 14:48
  trains
• 14:48
  ran
• 14:49
  through
• 14:49
  it
• 14:49
  constantly,
• 14:50
  but
• 14:50
  you
• 14:51
  never
• 14:51
  saw
• 14:51
  a
• 14:51
  caboose
• 14:52
  at
• 14:52
  the
• 14:52
  end.
• 14:52
  And
• 14:52
  I
• 14:53
  know
• 14:53
  you
• 14:54
  came
• 14:54
  to
• 14:54
  me
• 14:54
  and
• 14:54
  said,
• 14:55
  what's
• 14:55
  a
• 14:55
  caboose
• 14:56
  at
• 14:57
  the
• 14:57
  end
• 14:57
  of
• 14:57
  this
• 14:57
  train?
• 14:58
  Or
• 14:58
  what
• 14:58
  is
• 14:58
  that?
• 14:59
  And
• 14:59
  I
• 14:59
  said,
• 14:59
  oh,
• 14:59
  that's
• 14:59
  a
• 14:59
  caboose.
• 15:00
  And
• 15:01
  then
• 15:01
  we
• 15:01
  got
• 15:01
  talking
• 15:01
  about
• 15:02
  it
• 15:02
  and
• 15:03
  it
• 15:03
  just
• 15:03
  seemed
• 15:04
  to
• 15:05
  somehow
• 15:06
  turn
• 15:06
  into
• 15:07
  this
• 15:07
  whole
• 15:08
  idea
• 15:08
  that
• 15:08
  that
• 15:08
  would
• 15:09
  be
• 15:09
  a
• 15:09
  good
• 15:09
  name
• 15:09
  for
• 15:10
  our
• 15:11
  own
• 15:11
  special
• 15:12
  friend.
• 15:12
  Exactly.
• 15:14
  And
• 15:15
  do
• 15:15
  you
• 15:16
  remember,
• 15:17
  I
• 15:18
  know
• 15:18
  we
• 15:18
  wrote
• 15:19
  the
• 15:19
  first
• 15:19
  story
• 15:20
  together
• 15:20
  and
• 15:22
  then
• 15:22
  all
• 15:22
  of
• 15:22
  a
• 15:22
  sudden
• 15:23
  our
• 15:23
  minds
• 15:24
  kind
• 15:24
  of
• 15:24
  ran
• 15:25
  wild
• 15:25
  because
• 15:26
  then
• 15:26
  we
• 15:26
  thought,
• 15:27
  oh,
• 15:27
  we
• 15:27
  got
• 15:27
  so
• 15:27
  many
• 15:28
  other
• 15:28
  stories
• 15:29
  to
• 15:29
  get
• 15:29
  down
• 15:30
  on
• 15:30
  paper.
• 15:30
  Do
• 15:31
  you
• 15:31
  remember
• 15:31
  that?
• 15:32
  Oh,
• 15:32
  yeah,
• 15:32
  for
• 15:33
  sure.
• 15:33
  We
• 15:33
  just
• 15:33
  started
• 15:33
  talking.
• 15:34
  We're
• 15:34
  like,
• 15:34
  hey,
• 15:35

• 15:35
  you
• 15:35
  remember
• 15:35

• 15:36

• 15:36

• 15:36

• 15:36
  sledding?
• 15:37
  Do
• 15:37
  you
• 15:37
  remember
• 15:37
  when
• 15:37
  we
• 15:38
  went.
• 15:38
  We
• 15:39
  went
• 15:39
  horseback
• 15:40
  riding
• 15:40
  in
• 15:40
  the
• 15:40
  winter.
• 15:42
  And
• 15:42

• 16:52
  So
• 16:53
  that's
• 16:53
  what
• 16:53
  we're
• 16:53
  trying
• 16:53
  to
• 16:54
  do.
• 16:54
  So
• 16:54
  we
• 16:54
  hope
• 16:54
  you'll
• 16:55
  listen
• 16:55
  to
• 16:56
  more
• 16:56
  of
• 16:57
  these
• 16:58
  stories
• 16:58
  behind
• 16:58
  the
• 16:59
  stories
• 16:59
  as
• 17:00
  we
• 17:00
  continue
• 17:01
  to
• 17:02
  roll
• 17:03
  out
• 17:03
  the
• 17:03
  Adventures
• 17:04
  of
• 17:04
  Caboose,
• 17:04
  the
• 17:05
  Rocky
• 17:05
  Mountain
• 17:05
  Bear.
• 17:06
  Is
• 17:06
  there
• 17:06
  anything
• 17:06
  you
• 17:07
  else
• 17:07
  like
• 17:07
  to
• 17:07
  add?
• 17:08
  I
• 17:08
  think
• 17:08
  something
• 17:09
  important
• 17:09
  that
• 17:09
  we
• 17:09
  could
• 17:09
  also
• 17:10
  mention
• 17:10
  is
• 17:10
  that
• 17:11
  Georgia
• 17:11
  and
• 17:11
  George,
• 17:12
  they.
• 17:12
  They're
• 17:12
  siblings,
• 17:13
  but
• 17:14
  they
• 17:14
  weren't
• 17:14
  the
• 17:14
  same
• 17:14
  animal.
• 17:15
  Georgia
• 17:15
  was
• 17:15
  a
• 17:15
  bunny
• 17:16
  and
• 17:17
  George
• 17:17
  was
• 17:17
  a
• 17:17
  bear.
• 17:18
  And
• 17:18
  so
• 17:18
  within
• 17:19
  these
• 17:19
  stories,
• 17:19
  you'll
• 17:19
  see
• 17:20
  family
• 17:20
  members,
• 17:21
  and
• 17:21
  they're
• 17:22
  not
• 17:22
  all
• 17:22
  necessarily
• 17:22
  the
• 17:23
  same

  just.
• 17:25
  That
• 17:25
  just
• 17:26
  shows

  diversity
• 17:27
  and
• 17:27
  that
• 17:27
  just
• 17:27
  shows
• 17:27
  the
• 17:28
  different
• 17:28
  people
• 17:28
  we've
• 17:28

  or
• 17:32
  path
• 17:32
  of
• 17:32
  life
• 17:32
  or
• 17:33
  the
• 17:33
  trail
• 17:33
  along
• 17:34
  the
• 17:34
  way.

  Good.

  Very
• 17:36
  good
• 17:36
  point,

• 17:40
  take
• 17:40
  yourself
• 17:41
  back,
• 17:41
  if
• 17:41
  you
• 17:41
  can,
• 17:42

  mind

  is

  talking

  about.
• 17:54
  Just

  And

  in

  mind

  all
