HANOMANSING.
CANADIANS SEIZE THE LONG LAST
WEEKEND OF SUMMER, BUT ARE WE
DOING IT SAFELY?
>>> WHY WILL WE LIKELY SEE
ANOTHER RISE IN CORONAVIRUS
CASES SOON?
>> THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN THIS
TWO-WEEK SURGE IN CASES.
>> Ian: THE MESSAGE IS WE'RE NOT
OUT OF THE WOODS YET.
A DOCTOR WEIGHS IN ON HOW TO GET
THAT MESSAGE THROUGH.
(♪♪♪)
>> THERE'S FIRE ON ALL SIDES,
ALL AROUND US.
>> Ian: AS FIRES RAGE ACROSS
CALIFORNIA, HUNDREDS OF TRAPPED
CAMPERS ARE RESCUED.
>>> CATCHING A WAVE AND A NEW
PROSPECTIVE.
>> I AM CONFIDENT BECAUSE I KNOW
WHAT I CAN DO OUT THERE.
>> Ian: THERE AREN'T MANY BLACK
SURFERS IN NOVA SCOTIA.
THE PEOPLE TRYING TO CHANGE
THAT.
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(♪♪♪)
>>> MILLIONS OF CANADIANS HAVE
BEEN OUT ENJOYING THEIR LAST
SUMMER-LONG WEEKEND, BUT WITH
COVID-19 NUMBERS RISING THERE
ARE CONCERNS THAT SOME PEOPLE
ARE LETTING THEIR GUARD DOWN,
ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE.
(♪♪♪)
NORMALLY A CROWDED DANCE PARTY
ON THE BEACH IS JUST A SIGN OF
SUMMER FUN, BUT IN 2020 IT'S
BECOME A SYMBOL OF FLOUTING
PANDEMIC RULES.
HEALTH OFFICIALS WARNING AGAIN
AND AGAIN, CLOSE CONTACT,
ALCOHOL AND CORONAVIRUS ARE A
BAD MIX.
TALIA RICCI LOOKS AT HOW
CANADIANS ARE RESPONDING THIS
LONG WEEKEND.
>> Reporter: LABOUR DAY
WEEKEND SIGNALS THE END OF
SUMMER FOR MANY CANADIANS.
>> WE'RE RELAXING, YEAH, HAVING
LUNCH TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: HEALTH OFFICIALS
HOPED PEOPLE WOULD ENJOY IT BY
MAINTAINING SOCIAL DISTANCING
AND STICKING WITH PEOPLE IN
THEIR OWN BUBBLE.
>> ANYTHING THAT ANYONE CAN DO
INDIVIDUALLY TO REDUCE THE RISK
TO THEMSELVES, OF TRANSMISSION
IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR LABOUR
DAY.
>> Reporter: BUT THAT WASN'T
THE CASE AT THIS TORONTO BEACH
SATURDAY NIGHT.
PEOPLE PARTYING WITHOUT MASKS,
NO SOCIAL DISTANCING, AND
DANCING IN TIGHT QUARTERS.
(♪♪♪)
THE MAJORITY OF ONTARIO'S CASES
CONTINUE TO BE IN TORONTO, PEEL
REGION AND OTTAWA.
WITH OUTBREAKS AT WEDDINGS AND A
TORONTO CHURCH WHO HAVE SERIOUS
DOUBTS THAT HEALTH MEASURES ARE
EVEN NECESSARY.
>> YOU EXPECT ME TO STUDY THIS.
>> Reporter: ONE EXPERT SAYS
THAT THERE'S BEEN A SPIKE IN
CASES ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OF THE
LONG WEEKENDS THIS SUMMER.
>> THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN THIS KIND
OF TWO WEEKS AFTERWARDS WITH A
GROWTH IN CASES.
YOU KNOW, THE SEPTEMBER-LONG
WEEKEND IS NO DIFFERENT, OTHER
THAN THE FACT THAT WE GET A BIT
MORE MOBILITY AMONGST PEOPLE.
>> THE TREND IS IN CANADA IN
PARTICULAR IS THAT PEOPLE ARE
TRAVELLING WITHIN 500 KILOMETRES
OF THEIR HOME.
>> Reporter: A TREND NOTED BY
AN UPTICK IN AIRBNB BOOKINGS.
ENJOYING THAT LAST SLICE OF
SUMMER OUTSIDE OF THE CITY COMES
WITH RISKS.
>> WHEN YOU'RE AT THE CABIN AND
YOU'RE SHARING A LOT OF THE SAME
OBJECTS AND WE'RE PRETTY MUCH IN
EACH OTHER'S FACES.
>> Reporter: CASE NUMBERS HAVE
INCREASED ALSO IN OTHER
PROVINCES WITH A RISE IN
COVID-19 IMPACTING YOUNG PEOPLE.
>> I'M NOT SUPER WORRIED.
I GUESS THAT I'M JUST -- I'M A
MILLENNIAL.
I DON'T THINK THAT I'LL BE
AFFECTED THAT MUCH.
>> WE DON'T WANT IT TO PREVENT
US, YOU KNOW, FROM ENJOYING
PHYSICALLY OUR LIVES.
>> Reporter: BEFORE THE
WEATHER COOLS DOWN AND A
POTENTIAL SECOND WAVE BRINGS
PEOPLE INDOORS AGAIN.
TALIA RICCI, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Ian: NOW WHETHER IT'S COVID
FATIGUE OR JUST MAYBE
OVERCONFIDENCE, IT'S CLEAR NOT
EVERYONE IS LISTENING TO SAFETY
MESSAGES.
SO HOW DO WE GET THAT MESSAGE
THROUGH TO CANADIANS, ESPECIALLY
YOUNG CANADIANS?
JOINING US NOW IS INFECTIOUS
DISEASES SPECIALIST DR. ALLISON
McGEER.
AND HOW CAN WE BETTER REACH
PEOPLE IN THEIR 20s,
DR. McGEER?
>> I THINK THAT PUBLIC HEALTH IS
DOING A REMARKABLE JOB OF
REACHING PEOPLE.
AND, YES, WE'RE SEEING AN
INCREASE IN CASES BUT IT'S NOT A
DRAMATIC INCREASE.
THAT MEANS THAT ALMOST EVERYBODY
IS LISTENING, EVEN PEOPLE IN
$20s.
WE JUST NEED TO KEEP IT UP.
>> Ian: AND YET WE DEFINITELY
HEAR PEOPLE FRUSTRATED, SAYING
THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD GET THE
POLICE HANDING OUT TICKETS AND
BREAK UP GROUPS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU DON'T BELIEVE
MORE TOUGHER ENFORCEMENT IS
NECESSARY?
>> NO, I'M IN THE BONNIE HENRY
SCHOOL OF THOUGHT.
I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT MORE
ENFORCEMENT MUCH OF THE TIME IS
GOING TO HELP.
THIS IS ABOUT US BEING IN THIS
TOGETHER AND WORKING TOGETHER ON
THIS.
WE'VE SEEN THAT BEING REMARKABLY
EFFECTIVE AND I THINK THAT MOST
OF THE TIME WE DON'T NEED LAW
ENFORCEMENT, WE JUST NEED MORE
MESSAGING.
>> Ian: A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE
DR. HENRY SCHOOL, THAT'S FOR
SURE.
DR. McGEER, REALLY NICE TO
HAVE YOU ON THE PROGRAMME.
>> PLEASURE TO TALK TO YOU, IAN.
>> Ian: LET'S LOOK AT IT BY THE
NUMBERS TONIGHT.
B.C. AND ALBERTA NOT REPORTING
BUT MANITOBA UP SLIGHTLY WITH
29.
ONTARIO REPORTING MORE THAN 100
NEW CASES FOR 11 STRAIGHT DAYS
NOW.
158 TODAY.
AND FROM QUEÉBEC, MORE THAN 200
NEW CASES FOR FIRST TIME SINCE
JUNE.
QUÉBEC WAS ONE OF THE FIRST
PROVINCES TO REOPEN SCHOOLS.
THERE HAVE BEEN COVID-19 CASES
AMONG STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, BUT
THE PROVINCE SAYS THAT IT IS
UNDER CONTROL.
AS JAELA BERNSTIEN TELLS US, THE
REST OF THE COUNTRY IS WATCHING
CLOSELY.
>> Reporter: IT WAS ALL SMILES
ON THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES IN
QUÉBEC, BUT NOW THE PROVINCE IS
REPORTING 46 SCHOOLS HAVE CASES
AND IT COULD BE MORE.
>> WE NEED CORRECT INFORMATION,
BUT WE ALSO NEED IT AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE TO MOVE ON IT AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
SIMPLY BECAUSE IN THIS CASE TIME
IS CASES.
>> Reporter: DR. MATTHEW
OUGHTON IS ONE OF THE DOCTORS
WHO SIGNED A LETTER TO THE
QUÉBEC GOVERNMENT CALLING THE
BACK-TO-SCHOOL PLAN AS
INADEQUATE.
>> A LOT WILL BE WATCHING QUEÉBC
VERY CLOSELY AND AS I MENTIONED
BEFORE, I'M HOPING THEY'RE GOING
TO WATCH US AND TO LEARN WHAT TO
DO CORRECTLY AND HOW TO EMULATE
US AND NOT WATCHING US AS A
CAUTIONARY TALE.
>> Reporter: IF ALBERTA, THREE
SCHOOLS HAVE REPORTED COVID.
ONE SASKATCHEWAN SCHOOL IS
SWITCHING TEMPORARILY TO ONLINE
LEARNING BECAUSE A TEACHER
TESTED POSITIVE.
BUT ONTARIO'S EDUCATION MINISTER
SAYS PARENTS SHOULDN'T WORRY
ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OTHER
REGIONS.
>> WE HAVE UNIQUE
DIFFERENTIATORS IN THIS PROVINCE
THEY DO NOT.
I WOULDN'T DRAW A PARALLEL THAT
ALL THINGS ARE EQUAL.
>> Reporter: THOSE ASSURANCES
AREN'T COMFORTING TO THE
TEACHERS WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT
THE RISK TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
>> I'VE HAD TO TRY TO THINK OF
WAYS THAT I COME HOME, I GO
STRAIGHT TO MY ROOM OR STRAIGHT
TO THE BATHROOM AND TAKE A
SHOWER AND THEN COME SEE MY
FAMILY.
LIKE, I CAN'T JUST GO AND SAY,
HI, HOW ARE YOU.
>> Reporter: IT'S A MATTER OF
FACT, EXPERTS SAY, THAT SOME
SCHOOLS WILL HAVE CASES OF
COVID.
THE THING TO WATCH IS DOES IT
SPREAD?
>> AND IT WILL BE HARD TO KEEP
OUT OF THE SCHOOLS BUT ONCE IT'S
INTRODUCED INTO THE SCHOOLS CAN
THESE PROTOCOLS PREVENT THE
DISEASE FROM BEING TRANSMITTED
FROM PERSON-TO-PERSON?
AND, OBVIOUSLY, EVERYONE IS
HOPING THAT IT CAN.
IT'S JUST UNCLEAR AT THIS POINT
HOW ROBUST THESE PROTOCOLS ARE.
>> Reporter: IF INDIVIDUAL
CASES BECOME OUTBREAKS IN
SCHOOLS, THAT'S WHEN THERE'S A
PROBLEM.
JAELA BERNSTIEN, CBC NEWS,
MONTRÉAL.
>> Ian: AROUND THE WORLD OTHER
COUNTRIES ARE STRUGGLING TO
CONTAIN COVID-19, ESPECIALLY
INDIA, SET TO OVERTAKE BRAZIL AS
THE SECOND MOST AFFECTED NATION.
>> I THINK THAT IT'S VERY, VERY
SOMETHING TO BUILD UPON, AND
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
>> Ian: A NEW RECORD WITH 90,632
NEW CASES.
WITH 4.1 MILLION CONFIRMED SO
FAR.
MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY THAT THIS
SURGE IS DUE TO INCREASED
TESTING AS PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
SEE A SECOND WAVE.
BRITAIN TOO IS HAVING A NEW
SPIKE.
>> WE CAN USE AND WE WILL USE
LOCAL LOCKDOWNS IF THAT IS WHAT
IS NECESSARY, BUT THE FIRST LINE
OF DEFENCE FOR EVERYBODY IS TO
FOLLOW THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING.
>> Ian: THE U.K. REPORTED JUST
UNDER 3,000 NEW COVID-19 CASES
TODAY.
FIGURES NOT SEEN IN FOUR MONTHS.
THE MAJORITY OF THEM YOUNG
PEOPLE.
A TREND THAT WE'RE SEEING MORE
AND MORE AROUND THE WORLD.
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ALSO
SAYING HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
DEATHS REMAIN LOW.
>>> CUSTOMS AND BORDER SERVICES
CANADA REMINDING PEOPLE AREAD OF
THE LONG WEEKEND THAT THE
U.S.-CANADA BORDER REMAINS
CLOSED TO NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL.
CBSA REPORTS MORE THAN 18,000
PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO CROSS INTO
CANADA SINCE MARCH AND WERE
TURNED BACK.
MOST WERE U.S. CITIZENS, MOST
HOPING TO SHOP, SIGHTSEE OR TO
VISIT FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
>>> THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IS
SET TO INTENSIFY THIS WEEK AND
WITH THE ELECTION ROUGHLY EIGHT
WEEKS AWAY, PAUL HUNTER TELLS US
THAT THINGS ARE BOUND TO GET
ESPECIALLY NASTY.
>> THIS IS FOR TRUMP 2020!
>> Reporter: AND SO IT IS IN
THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE,
THE HOMESTRETCH FINALLY.
CELEBRATED THIS WEEKEND WITH
TRUMP-FLAGGED BOATS RACING ON
RIVERS IN MULTIPLE STATES.
THOUGH THINGS DIDN'T GO WELL FOR
ALL OF THEM, A HANDFUL SOMEHOW
SANK IN WATERS OFF TEXAS, IT'S
CLEAR THAT DONALD TRUMP AND JOE
BIDEN CAMPAIGN MACHINES ARE
GEARED TO GO FOR WHAT PROMISES
TO BE AN UGLY DIVISIVE,
POTENTIALLY VIOLENT CONTEST.
THIS WEEK COMES THE LATEST
TELL-ALL BOOK ON THE PRESIDENT
FROM TRUMP'S ONE-TIME PERSONAL
LAWYER, MICHAEL COHEN, NOW A
FELON.
CONVICTED OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE
CRIMES AND OF LYING TO CONGRESS.
NOW WARNING TRUMP WILL DO
ANYTHING TO WIN.
>> I BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD EVEN
GO SO FAR AS TO START A WAR IN
ORDER TO PREVENT HIMSELF FROM
BEING REMOVED FROM OFFICE.
>> Reporter: BUT THE TALK THIS
WEEKEND IS ALL ABOUT AMERICAN
WARS PAST, WITH MULTIPLE REPORTS
THAT WHILE ON A VISIT TO EUROPE
IN 2018, TRUMP PRIVATELY CALLED
U.S. SOLDIERS "LOSERS" AND
"SUCKERS" FOR BEING KILLED IN
ACTION.
PUTTING TRUMP LOYALISTS TODAY ON
DEFENCE.
>> THIS PRESIDENT SUPPORTS THE
MILITARY IN AN UNBELIEVABLE WAY.
HE'S CREATED MORE FUNDING TO
REBUILD THE MILITARY.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
HE CAMPAIGNED ON AND HE
DELIVERED.
>> Reporter: THEN THERE'S THE
SUGGESTION BY TRUMP OF A
FAST-TRACKED COVID VACCINE BY
NOVEMBER, A BOOST FOR TRUMP'S
RE-ELECTION.
SAID TODAY THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN ON
ITS LIKELY SAFETY --
>> I WOULD NOT TRUST DONALD
TRUMP.
I WOULD NOT TAKE HIS WORD FOR
IT.
HE WANTS US TO INJECT BLEACH.
NO, I WILL NOT TAKE HIS WORD.
>> Reporter: DONALD TRUMP IS
LAGGING BEHIND IN MOST POLLS.
THEN AGAIN, THAT'S ROUGHLY WHERE
HE WAS THIS TIME FOUR YEARS AGO.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Ian: UNREST OVER POLICE
BRUTALITY CONTINUED THIS WEEKEND

PEOPLE MARCHED LAST NIGHT IN
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, THE POLICE
CHIEF SAID THAT SOME WERE
OUTSIDE AGITATORS.
AND JACOB BLAKE, SHOT BY POLICE,
HAS SPOKEN PUBLICLY FOR THE
FIRST TIME FROM HIS HOSPITAL
BED.

YOUR LIFE BUT YOUR LEGS,
SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO MOVE
AROUND AND MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE
TO BE TAKEN FROM YOU LIKE THIS,

AND HIS WIFE, LORETTA, SURVIVED.
BOTH BELOVED HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHERS.
>> HE WAS AMAZING AND HE MADE
EVERY CLASS FUN AND ALL OF OUR
CLASSES WERE GAMES.
>> FOR EVERYBODY IT DOESN'T FEEL
REAL.
>> IT DOESN'T FEEL REAL AT ALL.
>> THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS
COULD HAPPEN TO SUCH A
REMARKABLE FAMILY.
>> Reporter: THEIR FOUR
CHILDREN, SAM, AND ADELAIDE AND
JOSEPH.
SAM WAS NOT HOME THE NIGHT OF

STABBED IN EIGHT SEPARATE

HATE OR GANGS OR TERRORISM.
THE SUSPECT IS STILL AT LARGE.
>>> UP TO A MILLION PEOPLE
MARCHED IN THE STREETS OF M MINK
AFTER THE ELECTION OF LONG-TIME

CITIES AS ONE FIRE CAPTAIN PUT
IT.
TODAY THERE WAS A DRAMATIC
RESCUE FROM THE SIERRA NATIONAL
FOREST IN CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL
VALLEY.
THE FAST-MOVING CREEK FIRE CUT
OFF THE ONLY ROAD TO A POPULAR
RECREATION SITE AND TRAPPED MORE
THAN 200 PEOPLE.
BRIAR STEWART SHOWS US HOW THEY
MADE IT OUT.
>> I WANTED TO SHOW YOU, IF WE
MAKE IT OUT OF THIS,
[indiscernible]
>> Reporter: FOR JEREMY
REMINGTON AND MORE THAN 200
OTHERS, THE LONG WEEKEND CAMPING
TRIP IN CALIFORNIA'S SIERRA
NATIONAL FOREST BECAME A HELLISH
NIGHTMARE WHEN THE ONLY ROAD OUT
BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
>> WELL, WE HAVE NO CELL OR
PHONE RECEPTION AND SUPPOSEDLY
THERE'S NOBODY COMING.
>> Reporter: BUT HELP DID
ARRIVE.
HOURS LATER A CHINOOK HELICOPTER
LANDED.
THROUGH THE NIGHT THE NATIONAL
GUARD AIRLIFTED CAMPERS OUT.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE MADE
IT OUT ALIVE, ACTUALLY.
>> Reporter: TODAY REMINGTON
TOLD CBC NEWS THAT HE WAS ON THE
LAST FLIGHT.
>> SO WE COULD SEE OUT ON BOTH
SIDES AND IT WAS JUST
DEVASTATION.
EVERYTHING AS FAR AS YOU COULD
SEE WAS BURNED.
AND IT WASN'T JUST LIKE A LITTLE
FIRE.
IT LOOKED LIKE ARMAGEDDON OR
SOMETHING.
>> Reporter: ALL OF THE
CAMPERS AT THE RECREATIONAL SITE
WERE AIRLIFTED OUT BUT DOZENS
WERE INJURED.
>> THEY WERE DOING WHAT THEY
COULD TO RESCUE THEMSELVES AND
MAKE THEMSELVES SAFE.

INJURIES, INCLUDING BROKEN
BONES, LACERATIONS, SCRAPES,
BRUISES, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

KILOMETRES.
IT'S ONE OF SEVERAL CURRENTLY

THE WHOLE TIME THAT I WAS
FIGHTING THE FIRE I WAS
PETRIFIED.
>> Reporter: IN PAST MONTH,
CALIFORNIA HAS SEEN
UNPRECEDENTED FIRES AND WITH THE
TEMPERATURES NEAR 49º CELSIUS IN
SOME AREAS THIS LONG WEEKEND,
THE WEATHER WON'T HELP THE CREWS
TO CONTAIN THE FIRES ALREADY

IT WILL ONLY INCREASE THE RISK
THAT OTHERS COULD IGNITE.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Ian: TODAY MARKS A LANDMARK
ANNIVERSARY IN CANADA'S ROCKY
RELATIONSHIP WITH INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES.
IT IS A QUARTER CENTURY SINCE
THE IPPERWASH CRISIS, A
FLASHPOINT OVER LAND RIGHTS THAT
CLAIMED THE LIFE OF DUDLEY
GEORGE.
IN THE INTERVENING YEARS THERE'S
BEEN POSITIVE STEPS IN THE NAME
OF RECONCILIATION, BUT AS ELLEN
MAURO TELLS US, THE FIGHT OVER
TERRITORY THAT DUDLEY GEORGE
BEGAN IS FAR FROM OVER.
>> HE WAS ALWAYS MAKING
EVERYBODY LAUGH.
>> Reporter: FOR CAROLYN
GEORGE-MANDOKA, EVEN THE HAPPY
MEMORIES ARE PAINFUL, DRAGGING
HER BACK TO THE NIGHT THAT HER
BROTHER WAS KILLED.

IN MY LIFE AND IT'S LED ME TO
NOT BE TRUSTFUL OF POLICEMEN.
I CAN SEE THEM AND JUST GO RIGHT
INTO A PANIC.
>> Reporter: DUDLEY GEORGE WAS
SHOT BY AN O.P.P. SNIPER IN A

HE WAS PART OF A GROUP OCCUPYING
LAND IN AND AROUND IPPERWASH
PROVINCIAL PARK, LAND TAKEN FROM
THE THEN STONY POINT FIRST
NATION FOR USE AS A MILITARY
TRAINING BASE DURING THE SECOND
WORLD WAR.
THE GOVERNMENT'S PROMISE TO
RETURN THE LAND AFTER THE WAR
WENT UNFULFILLED.
CHIEF JASON HENRY WAS JUST 15
YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE
STANDOFF.
THE PAIN OF THAT DAY AND DECADES
OF LOSS, HE SAYS, LINGERS.
>> WE'VE LOST SO MUCH.
WE'VE LOST LANGUAGE, WE'VE LOST
CULTURE, WE'VE LOST IDENTITY.
AND THAT IS DUE TO THE LOSS OF
LAND.
>> Reporter: A DEAL WAS
REACHED TO RETURN THE LAND IN
2015, BUT IT IS STILL COVERED
WITH UNEXPLODED BOMBS THAT WILL
TAKE DECADES FOR THE DEPARTMENT
OF NATIONAL DEFENCE TO CLEAR.
STILL THERE ARE DOZENS LIVING IN
THE OLD MILITARY CAMP,
SELF-DESCRIBED LAND DEFENDERS
LIKE PIERRE GEORGE, DUDLEY'S
BROTHER.
>> Reporter: NO RUNNING WATER?
>> NOPE.
>> Reporter: HE AND OTHERS
HERE COPING WITH DELAPIDATED
HOUSING AND HARDSHIPS TO BE ON
THE LAND HIS BROTHER DIED FOR.
PIERRE DROVE DUDLEY TO THE

ONE IN HIS LEG.
I HAD MY MOMENT, I CAN'T HELP
IT.
>> Reporter: CHIEF HENRY SAYS
THAT THERE ARE PLANS TO BUILD
BETTER HOUSING IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE GOVERNMENT.
HE'S OPTIMISTIC BUT CAUTIOUS.
>> TRUST IS EASILY LOST AND
WE'VE HAD A LONG TIME OF NOT
HAVING TRUST OF CANADA.
VERY DIFFICULT TO REGROW THAT.
>> Reporter: NO ONE KNOWS THAT
MORE THAN CAROLYN
GEORGE-MANDOKA.
>> GOVERNMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO
GIVE IT BACK AND I GUESS THEY
SUPPOSED THAT WE'D JUST FORGET
ABOUT IT.
YOU DON'T FORGET ABOUT IT,

TORONTO.
>> Ian: MORE THAN 9,000
CANADIANS HAVE DIED AFTER
CONTRACTING COVID-19.
AND WE'VE BEEN BRINGING YOU SOME
OF THEIR STORIES AS TOLD BY
THEIR LOVED ONES.
TONIGHT A DAUGHTER REMEMBERS HER
FATHER WHO DIED BACK IN APRIL.
>> MY NAME IS LEAH SALVAGE AND I
LOST MY FATHER, GEORGE, TO
COVID-19 ON APRIL 12, 2020.
HE WAS 69 YEARS OLD.
MY DAD WAS A BIG PERSONALITY WHO
DIDN'T GO HALFWAY ON ANYTHING.
HE WAS THE CHIEF PSYCHOLOGIST AT
THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL BOARD IN
ONTARIO AND IN HIS RETIREMENT HE
DEVELOPED A PASSION FOR
PHOTOGRAPHY AND TRAVEL.
MY DAD GREW UP IN EAST YORK
GETTING HIS UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE
AT YORK UNIVERSITY AND A JOINT
MASTERS AND PH.D AT UNIVERSITY
OF TORONTO.
HE MET MY MOM IN GRAD SCHOOL AND
THEN MOVED TO PETERBOROUGH.
THOUGH I KNEW ABOUT MY DAD'S JOB
GROWING UP IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER
HIS DEATH THAT I REALISED HOW
MUCH HIS WORK IMPACTED PEOPLE.
HE WAS INVOLVED IN WORK FOR
CHILDREN AT-RISK OF ABUSE AND
INVOLVED IN CRISIS SITUATIONS
DEALING WITH THINGS LIKE SCHOOL
SHOOTINGS AND SCHOOL DEATHS.
GROWING UP MY DAD LOVED TO
TRAVEL.
THEY TOOK US ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY IN OUR SUPER OLD POP-UP
CAMPER.
WHEN HE AND MY MOM RETIRED THEY
TOOK TRAVELLING TO A WHOLE NEW
LEVEL.
COMBINING IT WITH A PASSION FOR
PHOTOGRAPHY THEY WENT TO RUSSIA
AND PERU AND GREECE AND SO MANY
PLACES THAT I COULDN'T KEEP UP.
MY DAD LOVED POSING FOR
PICTURES.
HE'D SAY THAT IT WAS PROOF THAT
HE WAS THERE.
I DON'T THINK THAT WE MADE IT
EASY FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT HE
WOULD HAVE LIKED.
I REMEMBER ON AN EPIC CAMPING
TRIP TO THE WEST COAST WE FOILED
HIS PLANS FOR A PICTURE OF MILE
ZERO.
IT WAS ALL HE TALKED ABOUT.
15 YEARS LATER HE FINALLY GOT
THAT PICTURE.
NOW THAT HE'S GONE I'M JUST
STARTING TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW
IMPORTANT HAVING THOSE MEMORIES
ARE AND I'M SO THANKFUL THAT HE
WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THEM FOR US.
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WILL
REMEMBER MOST ABOUT MY DAD ARE
HIS SENSE OF HUMOUR, HIS
COMMITMENT TO FAMILY AND JUST
HOW MUCH HE ENJOYED BEING A
GRANDFATHER.
>> Ian: THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC
WE HAVE BEEN GATHERING THESE
STORIES OF CANADIANS WHO HAVE
DIED AFTER CONTRACTING COVID-19.
YOU CAN FIND THEM AT
CBC.CA/REMEMBERED.
>>> STILL AHEAD, UNIVERSITIES
WELCOME STUDENTS FOR A VERY
DIFFERENT KIND OF SCHOOL YEAR.
>> BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO
RIGHT NOW IS CONVERT MY BASEMENT
SPACE INTO A LITTLE WORKING
SPACE FOR ME.
>> Ian: HOW THE INCOMING CLASS
FEELS ABOUT THEIR FIRST YEAR
AFTER GRADUATING FROM HIGH
SCHOOL DURING THE
>> I'M SCARED, I'M NERVOUS, I'M
HOPEFUL, BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE
YET.
>> Ian: YOU MIGHT REMEMBER BACK
IN MAY THAT I SPOKE TO THREE
GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
ABOUT CANCELLED CLASSES, VIRTUAL
PROMS, AND WHAT THEY WERE
EXPECTING IN THE YEAR AHEAD.
NOW WE'RE CHECKING IN WITH THEM
AGAIN AS THEY GET READY TO BEGIN
UNIVERSITY.
CAMPUS LIFE IN A PANDEMIC.
(♪♪♪)
THREE STUDENTS, THREE PROVINCES,
AND AT LEAST ONE THING IN COMMON
-- UNCERTAINTY.
>> I'M TRYING TO CONVERT MY
BASEMENT INTO A WORKING SPACE
FOR MYSELF.
>> Ian: JUST FROM OUTSIDE OF
VANCOUVER SHE'S STARTING AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA,
BUT WILL BE DOING HER CLASSES
FROM HOME.
LOGAN IS FROM AMHURST, NOVA
SCOTIA, IS HEADED TO NEARBY NEW
BRUNSWICK FOR MATHEMATICS.
ALL OF HIS CLASSES ARE ONLINE
BUT HE'S CHOOSING TO LIVE IN
RESIDENCE.
>> NICE.
>> TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I'M
GETTING READY TO PLOUFFE TO
LONDON.
>> Ian: AND MADISON IS FROM
BARRIE, AND SHE'LL BE ON CAMPUS
IN LONDON, ONTARIO.
A MIX OF ONLINE AND IN PERSON.
I SPOKE WITH THEM A FEW DAYS AGO
AND BEGAN BY ASKING MADISON HOW
SHE FELT ABOUT THE BIG MOVE.
>> I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
BECAUSE I AM VERY CLOSE WITH MY
FAMILY, SO MOVING AWAY IS A BIG
DEAL.
I THINK THAT I'LL MISS MY FAMILY
BUT I THINK THAT IT'S A GOOD
STEP FOR ME.
AND IT WILL BE A NEW ADVENTURE.
RESIDENCE THIS YEAR IS VERY
DIFFERENT THAN LAST YEAR.
SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENS.
>> Ian: AND LOGAN, YOU ARE ONLY
ABOUT 15 KILOMETRES, HOW ARE YOU
FEELING?
>> IT'S NOT SUPER FAR BUT IT'S
GOOD TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND
I'M EXCITED TO TAKE ON A NEW
STEP OF INDEPENDENCE.
IT WAS DAUNTING AT FIRST
THINKING OF LEAVING THIS PLACE,
THIS HOME THAT I HAVE BEEN IN MY
ENTIRE LIFE.
BUT KNOWING THAT MY FAMILY IS
HERE IS IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD.
>> Ian: YOU'LL BE AT HOME AND
NOT TOO FAR FROM U.B.C. IN
VANCOUVER BUT STILL AT HOME.
WHY?
>> I ALWAYS WANTED TO LIVE ON
RESIDENCE BUT SINCE EVERYTHING
IS ONLINE THIS SEMESTER IT
DIDN'T MAKE SENSE FINANCIALLY
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS ONLINE AND
I LIVE SO CLOSE TO U.B.C.
ANYWAYS.
ALSO THE FACTOR THAT NONE OF MY
FRIENDS ARE LIVING ON CAMPUS
PLAYED INTO MY DECISION.
BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO RIGHT
NOW IS TO CONVERT MY BASEMENT
SPACE INTO A LITTLE WORKING
SPACE FOR ME.
AND SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO
HAVE THAT SPACE BECAUSE IT'S
SORT OF GOING TO BE MY VERSION
OF A DORM, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO
BE AT CAMPUS.
>> Ian: FROM AN ACADEMIC
STANDPOINT, HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT HAVING CLASSES ONLINE
ONLY?
>> YEAH, JUST FOR ME, I ALWAYS
DREAMED ABOUT THAT UNIVERSITY
EXPERIENCE.
JUST LIKE BEING PART OF A BIG
LECTURE HALLS AND JUST LIKE
MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND HAVING
STUDY GROUPS.
SO NOT HAVING THAT FOR THE FIRST
SEMESTER IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE
BIT DIFFICULT.
AND I FEEL THAT I'M GOING TO
LOSE A LITTLE BIT OF MY
MOTIVATION JUST STARING AT A
COMPUTER SCREEN.
BUT I'M GOING TO HOPE FOR THE
BEST.
IT'S THE BEST OF WHAT WE CAN DO
RIGHT NOW.
>> Ian: NOW, MADISON, YOU HAVE A
BLEND OF ONLINE CLASSES AND
IN-PERSON CLASSES.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
>> SO I FOUND THAT THIS YEAR
SINCE THE END OF MY GRADE 12
YEAR GOT PUT ONLINE I GOT TO
NOTE HOW TO USE THE ONLINE
SYSTEM.
I WISH EVERYTHING WAS IN CLASS
BUT IT IS GOOD TO KNOW -- A LOT
OF PEOPLE I KNOW THAT ALL OF
THEIR CLASSES ARE ONLINE.
SO IT'S REASSURING TO KNOW THAT
I WILL BE ABLE TO GO INTO CLASS
SOMETIMES AND ASK THE TEACHERS
AND GET TO KNOW THE TEACHERS AND
FIGURE OUT THE MATERIAL WITH A
HANDS ON EXPERIENCE.
>> Ian: AND, LOGAN, AGAIN FOR
YOU A BLEND OF IN-CLASS AND
ONLINE, RIGHT?
>> IT'S TECHNICALLY A BLEND BUT
I'M NOT TAKING ANY IN-PERSON
COURSES THIS YEAR, WHICH IS
PROBABLY A GOOD THING, I THINK.
I'D RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
BUT WE'LL SEE HOW THE SPRING
GOES.
>> Ian: SO THIS IS INTERESTING.
YOU'LL DO ONLINE CLASSES AND YOU
HAVE MADE THE DECISION THOUGH TO
MAKE THE RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVE
FROM HOME TO MOUNT ALISON
UNIVERSITY.
SO WHY GO TO RESIDENCE, EVEN
THOUGH YOUR CLASSES ARE ALL
GOING TO BE ONLINE?
>> WELL, RESIDENCE IS AN
EXPERIENCE IN AND OF ITSELF.
THERE'S STILL PEOPLE THERE AND I
CAN STILL MAKE ALL OF THE NEW
FRIENDS AND THE PROGRAMMES THAT
I'M IN.
IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE CAN'T
GET TOGETHER AND WATCH A LECTURE
IN A STUDY SPACE TOGETHER.
I CAN STILL LEARN
COLLABORATIVELY, EVEN IF IT'S
ONLINE.
LIKE, AS LONG AS WE MAINTAIN THE
SAFETY MEASURES.
>> Ian: TWO OF YOU ARE HEADING
INTO CAMPUS, MADISON AND LOGAN
LOGAN -- AND, MADISON, I'LL ASK
YOU THIS FIRST -- HOW DO YOU
FEEL IN TERMS OF SAFETY WHEN IT
COMES TO COVID?
>> WELL, THEY HAVE PUT IN GOOD
PROTOCOLS AND ALL STUDENTS HAVE
WENT THERE AND WE DO A TWO-WEEK
QUARANTINE AND ALL GETTING
TESTED BEFORE THE LOCALS COME
INTO THE SCHOOL.
WHICH IS GOOD TO KNOW.
AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL
WE HAVE TO WEAR A MASK ANYTIME
WE LEAVE OUR DORM.
AND I FEEL THEY ARE TAKING THE
SAFETY PROTOCOLS BUT IT IS STILL
NERVE-RACKING BECAUSE IT'S A BIG
UNIVERSITY AND I FEEL THAT IF
ONE PERSON GETS IT, IT COULD
SPREAD VERY FAST.
>> Ian: AND THE RISK OF
INFECTION, AS YOU KNOW, CAN
COME, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST FROM
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS BUT
EASILY FROM A STUDENT INFECTED
WITHIN CANADA.
IT'S REALLY EASY IT SEEMS FOR
STUDENTS TO FORGET TO, LET'S
SAY, KEEP THEIR DISTANCE.
DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT?
>> YES, DEFINITELY SCARY.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW THAT I KNOW
WHAT TO DO AND I KNOW HOW TO
KEEP MY DISTANCE.
SO I FEEL LIKE IF I DO WHAT I
NEED TO DO, I FEEL THAT I CAN
KEEP MYSELF SAFE AND I HOPE THAT
OTHERS WILL DO THE SAME.
>> Ian: LOGAN, WHAT ABOUT YOU IN
TERMS OF COVID SAFETY?
>> I KNOW THAT MOUNT ALISON, THE
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND
STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF OUR ATLANTIC
BUBBLE AND THE STUDENTS OUTSIDE
OF THOSE REGIONS HAVE ALREADY
COME TO CAMPUS AND ARE
SELF-ISOLATING.
IN FACT, WE HAD A TESTED CASE A
COUPLE DAYS AGO AT MOUNT ALISON
UNIVERSITY.
BUT I'M REALLY CONFIDENT THAT
THINGS WILL BE OKAY.
>> Ian: I GUESS TO ALL THREE OF
YOU, YOU KNOW, WHEN I SPOKE TO
YOU LAST YOU WERE LOOKING
FORWARD TO GRADUATION AND NOW
HERE YOU ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON
YOUR FIRST YEAR AT UNIVERSITY.
AND TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU CAN
SPEAK FOR YOUR CLASSMATES, YOU
KNOW, FOR THE INCOMING
UNIVERSITY CLASS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, MAYBE SOME LAST
THOUGHTS THERE.
>> I DO THINK THAT THIS IS A
TIME OF UNCERTAINTY AND IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO KIND OF
NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS BECAUSE
WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT
EXPERIENCE THAT EVERYONE ELSE
HAS GOTTEN IN PREVIOUS YEARS.
BUT, I MEAN, THERE'S ALSO A
POSITIVE TO THIS.
I THINK THAT ONLINE CLASSES
COULD BE USED TO OUR ADVANTAGE
AS WELL BECAUSE YOU'RE WORKING
ON YOUR OWN SCHEDULE NOW, SO I
THINK THAT ONLINE CLASSES ARE
GOOD.
AND I'M GOING TO JUST STAY
OPTIMISTIC AND HOPE FOR THE
BEST.
>> Ian: MADISON?
>> YES, SO I FEEL THE SAME.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A
NEW ADVENTURE AND IT'S SOMETHING
NEVER DONE BEFORE.
SO I FEEL THAT OUR GENERATION IS
GOING TO LEARN AND, LIKE, NO ONE
REALLY KNOWS HOW IT'S GOING TO
GO BECAUSE IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE.
SO IT'S LIKE AN ADVENTURE AND IT
WILL BUILD CHARACTER AND WE'LL
LEARN AND IT WILL BE OKAY, BUT,
YEAH, I'M EXCITED.
>> Ian: LOGAN, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
>> LIKE MADISON I'M LUCKY, VERY
FORTUNATE, I'VE GOT SOME GREAT
ABILITY TO LIVE IN RESIDENCE AND
TO STILL BE THERE DESPITE ONLINE
CLASSES.
I THINK THAT ONLINE CLASSES IS A
GREAT TOOL, BUT IT'S GOOD TO
HAVE THE IN-PERSON ELEMENT AS
WELL TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH PEOPLE AND LEARN
COLLABORATIVELY.
>> Ian: I WILL TELL YOU, WHEN I
WENT TO UNIVERSITY A LONG, LONG
TIME AGO I HAD THE SAME SENSE OF
EXCITEMENT THAT YOU GUYS DID.
DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT
IT'S NICE TO HEAR -- IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU GUYS FEEL PRETTY
OPTIMISTIC.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR KEEPING
US UPDATED.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US
AGAIN.
>> Ian: GOOD LUCK.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Ian: WHEN WE COME BACK,
CATCHING WAVES AND CHANGING
ATTITUDES.
>> I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAD
SEEN VISIBLE FOR YEARS AND WE
THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> Ian: HOW A NOVA SCOTIA SURF
CLUB IS CONNECTING YOUNG BLACK
>> I'M JOSH BLOCH.
TOMORROW ON CBC'S DAILY NEWS
PODCAST "FRONTBURNER," AS INDIA
PASSES FOUR MILLION COVID-19
CASES, WITH A RECORD 90,000 ON
SUNDAY, A REPORT ON THE GROUND
ABOUT WHY IT'S STILL REOPENING.
SUBSCRIBE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR
PODCASTS.
>> Ian: FOR MANY CANADIANS THIS
LONG WEEKEND MARKS THE
UNOFFICIAL END OF SUMMER.
PERHAPS ONE LAST CHANCE TO HIT
THE BEACH.
ON A STRETCH OF NOVA SCOTIA
COASTLINE, SURFING IS BREAKING
DOWN BARRIERS.
OUR TOM MURPHY NOW ON HOW A
PROGRAMME PROMOTING INCLUSION IS
RIDING A WAVE OF SUCCESS.
>> YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR BOARDS?
>> GET SUITED UP.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
>> YOU GOOD?
>> GET IN THERE AND DO YOUR
THING.
[laughter]
>> Reporter: TUESDAYS ARE THE
BIG DAY.
>> YOU BET, BUDDY.
>> Reporter: SUITS ON, BOARDS
WAXED.
AND SOME OF ATLANTIC CANADA'S
BEST SURFERS.
>> NICE WAVES.
>> Reporter: READY TO IMPART
THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE OCEAN
SWELLS.
>> SUPER MAN, PUSH TOWARDS ME.
>> Reporter: THIS IS
MARTINIQUE BEACH ON NOVA
SCOTIA'S EASTERN SHORE.
>> THIS WAY TO THE BEACH!
>> Reporter: IT'S A PERFECT
PLACE TO LEARN THE COASTAL SPORT
FOR THE KIDS OF NORTH PRESTON.
A COMMUNITY CLOSE TO THE BEST
SURF BEACHES, BUT NOT
TRADITIONALLY PART OF THE
SURFING COMMUNITY.
THAT IS STARTING TO CHANGE.
>> HAVE YOU EVER SURFED BEFORE?
HAS ANYONE TRIED IT, NO?
EXCITED, NERVOUS?
>> EXCITED.
>> ANYONE NERVOUS?
IT'S OKAY TO BE NERVOUS.
>> Reporter: AN INITIATIVE
SPECIFICALLY FOR THE KIDS FROM
THE HISTORIC BLACK COMMUNITY OF
NORTH PRESTON, THE NORTH PRESTON
SURF PROGRAMME IN ITS SECOND
YEAR.
>> OUR THIRD SAFETY RULE -- YOU
OPENED THIS -- WHAT IS THE
DISTANCE THAT WE WANT TO STAY
BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER?
>> Reporter: 8-YEAR-OLD
KATRELLE IS A VETERAN STUDENT.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO GET HIT BY
THE BOARD.
>> Reporter: WHAT ARE YOU
FEELING WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE
SURFING?
>> I FEEL CONFIDENT BECAUSE I
KNOW WHAT I CAN DO OUT THERE.
>> Reporter: WHAT CAN YOU DO
OUT THERE?
>> I CAN STAND UP, I CAN KNEEL
DOWN, I CAN JUMP OVER BIG WAVES.
I'M JUST LIKE A DAREDEVIL ON THE
OCEAN.
>> Reporter: IT'S EXACTLY THAT
KIND OF EXCITEMENT THAT FUELS
DURRELL BORDEN, ONE OF NOVA
SCOTIA'S FEW EXPERIENCED BLACK
SURFERS AND THE PROGRAMME
DIRECTOR.
>> I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE
SEEN PHYSICALLY FOR YEARS AND WE
THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT
IF THERE WAS MORE THAN JUST
MYSELF AND A FEW IN THE WORLD.
FOR ME, I'M SUPER PROUD TO EVEN
JUST BE PART OF THIS PROGRAMME.
BECAUSE WATER HAS -- THE OCEAN
ITSELF HAS A TRANSFORMATIONAL
THING TO IT.
WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE WITH THE
KIDS, THERE'S A WHOLE DEGREE TO
IT THAT IT ISN'T ABOUT THE
SURFING AND IT'S JUST ABOUT THE
KIDS BEING COMFORTABLE IN WHO
THEY ARE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING TO SEE.
AND THE SMILES AND THE JOY AND
SURFING BRINGS IT OUT.
>> Reporter: IT'S HARD NOT TO
FEEL STOKED JUST WATCHING.
>> WOO!
>> Reporter: THESE SURFERS ARE
HOOKED.
ANOTHER MORNING, NOT THE HOT,
SUNNY KIND.
THIS IS NORTH PRESTON, 40
MINUTES INLAND.
CO-FOUNDERS OF THE NORTH PRESTON
SURF PROGRAMME DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
EACH OTHER TWO YEARS AGO.
>> YOU READY?
LET'S GO.
HIGH-FIVE.
>> Reporter: BETH SAW A GAP IN
HER SURF WORLD.
SO SHE REACHED OUT FOR EXPERTISE
AS A RESIDENT OF NORTH PRESTON
AND AN ADVOCATE FOR ITS YOUNG
PEOPLE.
>> MY VISION IS THAT THE YOUNG
PEOPLE AND THE CHILDREN HERE IN
NORTH PRESTON CAN GO FAR AND
WIDE.
THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT I'VE BEEN
ABLE TO DO.
I'VE TRAVELLED A LOT AND SAW A
LOT OF THINGS IN THE WORLD, BUT
I ALWAYS HAVE A HOME TO COME
BACK TO.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE CREATED SO
WE CAN MEET HERE AND GO AND
EXPLORE SOMETHING AND COME BACK
HOME.
AND TIME TO SAY HOW WAS THAT.
>> Reporter: A SIMPLE QUESTION
THAT CAN LEAD TO A CRITICAL
CONSIDERATION.
>> YOU KNOW, WITH SEGREGATION,
AND WITH THE VIOLENT HISTORY OF
CROSSING THE WATERS, THE
TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE, SO
THESE ARE REALLY BIG ISSUES
THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE KIND OF
WITH THE SURF PROGRAMME
OVERCOMING.
AND WE'RE NOT JUST ACTUALLY
TALKING ABOUT THAT, WE'RE
LOOKING AT WHERE WE'RE AT NOW
AND THEN IN SOME WAYS HEALING
FROM THAT PAST TRAUMA.
SEE YOU AT THE BEACH.
>> Reporter: FOR THOSE KIDS
WHO DON'T HAVE A RIDE, LAMIA AND
BETH GIVE THEM A LIFT.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: BUT TWO YEARS IN,
THE PROGRAMME IS BECOMING MORE
POPULAR.
NOW EVEN THE PARENTS WANT TO GO
TOO.
>> THE COMMUNITY IS COMING
TOGETHER AND IT ACCURATELY
DESCRIBES IT.
EVERY WEEK IT FEELS LIKE MAGIC.
JUST WATCHING ALL OF THOSE KIDS
CATCHING WAVES AND WATCHING
THEIR PARENTS WATCH THEM CATCH
WAVES.
>> GO, GO, GO.
>> IT'S SOMETHING THAT EVERY
CHILD SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO.
>> IT'S BEEN INSANE TO WATCH HER
PROGRESSION.
WE'VE KIND OF FORMED A REALLY
FUN TEAM AND SHE'S RIPPING.
YEAH, IT'S GREAT.
>> I GOT IT!
>> Reporter: INEVITABLY, A DAY
OF SURFING LEADS TO A LITTLE
TIME IN THE SAND.
>> IT'S BEEN PRETTY FUN PLAYING
IN THE WATER AND IT TURNS INTO
YOU JOKE AROUND AND YOU FIND OUT
A LOT ABOUT EACH OTHER.
AND THEN THROUGH SURFING ALONE
THE CHALLENGES -- YOU BECOME
GOOD FRIENDS, RIGHT?
THERE YOU GO.
(♪♪♪)
>> REALLY EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE
AND TO KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING
SOMETHING PHENOMENAL HERE AND
THE SENSE OF CHANGING, YOU KNOW,
A GENERATION OF -- A HISTORY.
>> Reporter: AND THE KIDS?
THEY'RE JUST EXCITED ABOUT THE
NEXT WAVE.
(♪♪♪)
TOM MURPHY, CBC NEWS, MARTINIQUE
BEACH, NOVA SCOTIA.
>> Ian: I COULD WATCH THAT STORY
AGAIN.
THAT WAS FANTASTIC.
>>> AN ENDANGERED KILLER WHALE
WHOSE STORY OF LOSS BROKE WORLDS
AROUND THE WORLD HAS BECOME A
MOTHER AGAIN.
SHE WAS SPOTTED NEAR VICTORIA
YESTERDAY.
WITH HER A CALF THEY BELIEVE
THAT WAS BORN ON FRIDAY.
TWO YEARS AGO J-35 MADE
HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD WHEN
SHE CARRIED A DEAD CALF FOR 17
DAYS IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
A JOURNEY THAT THE EXPERTS
LABELLED AS A TOUR OF GRIEF.
HER NEW CALF IS SAID TO BE,
QUOTE, HEALTHY AND PRECOCIOUS.
>>> UP NEXT IN OUR "MOMENT," A
PANDEMIC WAS NOT GOING TO STOP A
LONG-TIME TRADITION FOR THE
ROUGHRIDERS.
BUT FIRST --
>> FIRST ACE OF THE MATCH FOR
THE CANADIAN.
>> Ian: THAT IS DENIS SHAPOVALOV
AT THE U.S. OPEN TONIGHT DOING
HIS PART IN WHAT HAS BEEN AN
HISTORIC WEEK FOR CANADIAN
TENNIS.
FOR THE FIRST TIME THREE
CANADIAN MEN MADE IT TO THE
SECOND WEEK OF A GRAND-SLAM
TOURNAMENT.
THERE'S AUGER-ALIASSIME
YESTERDAY, JUST 20 YEARS OLD AND
HE'S THE YOUNGEST PLAYER STILL
IN THIS.
>> HE CAN CLOSE IT OUT.
VASEK POSPISIL ALSO MADE THE
CUT.
>> A FITTING WAY TO END IT!
>> Ian: TODAY THOUGH THE
TOP-SEEDED SERBIAN PLAYER NOVAK
DJOKOVIC WAS DISQUALIFY BECAUSE
HE ANGRILY HIT A BALL THAT ENDED
UP STRIKING A LINE JUDGE.
THAT COULD LEAVE THE FIELD OPEN
FOR AN UPSET, MAYBE BY A
>> GO, RIDERS!
WOO!
>> Ian: THIS DRIVE THRU EVENT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN CELEBRATING THE
56th ANNUAL LABOUR DAY CLASSIC
MATCH-UP BETWEEN THE BLUE
BOMBERS AND THE ROUGHRIDERS.
FOR SOME AN ANNUAL TRADITION NOW
BROKEN THANKS TO COVID-19.
THIS YEAR IT'S JUST GAINOR AND
OTHER TEAM ICONS AND SOME SIGNED
MERCH HANDED OUT AT A SAFE
DISTANCE.
THE SASKATCHEWAN GOVERNMENT ALSO
DECLARING TODAY ROUGHRIDERS DAY
BUT FOR RIDER NATION THERE'S NO
WAY TO SUGARCOAT THIS, THE VOID
IS REAL, IT'S DEEP.
SO WE ASKED SOME FANS TO TELL US
HOW THEY FILLED IT AND THEIR
RESPONSE IS TONIGHT'S "MOMENT."
(♪♪♪)
>> GO, RIDERS, GO!
WOO!
I'D RATHER BE AT THE BANJO BOWL
AND THE LABOUR DAY CLASSIC.
INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE STADIUM
AND GETTING INTO OUR SEASON
TICKET SEATS WE HAVE COME HOME
TO REMINISCE ABOUT THE 2013 GREY
CUP WIN.
>> INSTEAD OF FOOTBALL THIS LONG
WEEKEND WE'RE JUST HANGING OUT
AS A FAMILY AND MISSING
FOOTBALL.
>> I'M HERE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO SEE THE CFL TO GO AWAY.
>> IT SUCKS THAT WE CAN'T GO TO
RIDER GAMES BUT WE'RE
CELEBRATING BY GOING TO A
DRIVE-THRU CELEBRATION AT THE
STADIUM WITH THE PLAYERS AND THE
GIVEAWAYS.
IT'S NOT THE SAME AS A GAME BUT
IT'S THE NEXT BEST THING.
>> WE DROVE TO CHECK OUT THE FAN
DRIVE-THRU EVENT.
IT WAS AWESOME.
>> GO, RIDERS.
>> GO, RIDERS.
>> GO, RIDERS
>> GO, RIDERS, GO!
>> Ian: IS THERE ANY DOUBT THAT
THEY ARE THE MOST DEVOTED AND
COLOURFUL IN THE COUNTRY AND IS
THERE ANY DOUBT THAT IS A
RIDICULOUS THING TO SAY.
BECAUSE FOR SPORTS FANS AND
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF OTHER TEAMS
THAT ARE MAD AT ME.
SO I'LL HAVE TO JUST LIVE WITH
THAT.
>>> THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
SEPTEMBER 6th.
GOOD NIGHT.
