We’re excited to share our short film “To the Top,” which highlights one of Canada’s favourite winter activities – tobogganing! If you’re looking for motivation to pull out the old wooden sled or the GT snow racer to take your son, your daughter, your niece or nephew, your friend’s kids or maybe just yourself out for some good ol’ fashioned winter fun, this film is for you. Shot in the Canadian Rockies with students from Banff Elementary School, we hope you can share this film to help inspire kids right across Canada to head outside and find oodles of fun in the snow!
There are two versions of this short film – one that has lyrics that are a bit more “hardcore”. If you don’t feel your students are up for that, we have an instrumental version that will do the trick!
