I helped work on this. I did have a VHS copy, long lost, and it was available at the Pointe-Claire Library at the time, but I haven't seen it in about 37 years. My hats off to Brandon and Danielle, it is far better than I remembered.

Thank you Jason, for bringing this 38 year old documentary back into the forefront. Grass roots and oral history of our seniors is so important even to this day. The seniors I work with, have so may interesting stories and life experiences and it's imperative that we get them down while we still can.

Very interesting and enjoyable video. First time seeing it. Imagine the points of view from summer vacationers. West Island playground. Loved it 👍

That was lovely. I was at MacDonald Elementary from grade 5 to 7, (very early sixties, I guess) when we moved to Pte Claire. So, this is really nice to see what was going on around us at the time. But Valois Bay was locally known as Pooey Louis, though I learned to sail at SS Venture, I think it was called. Yeah, one didn't swim in Valois Bay and one went to great pains not to dump the FJ's we were learning in. Though in Ste Annes, we did dive off the side of the Ste Anne's locks. We didn't do that too often.

I really enjoyed this. When that video was shot in 1985, my mother was 69 and had moved with my step-father to the Okanagan in B.C. But she moved to Valois from NDG with her family at the age of 7 (ca. 1923)...and would have had some of those memories. She's been gone almost 20 years, so I can't ask her, but I'm sure that piece would have touched her heart. Thank you.

I love this! And great to see my friend Liz Thompson's West Island Gazette story from 1985!
