Parks Canada hired 32 student videographers to spend the summer of 2010 in Canada's National Parks and create
short videos to describe the parks and their experiences in the parks. The result was an amazing cross section of
images and stories that celebrate the special places Parks Canada has the privilege of protecting and preserving for
all Canadians. More than 900 applications were received for these summer jobs, and the talent that came to work for
Parks Canada has energized Parks Canada Agency efforts to renew and invigorate its programs designed to
develop public awareness and appreciation of Canada's Parks and historic places. This presentation will describe
"Canada's Greatest Summer Jobs"; will outline the challenges and the opportunities presented by such a national
campaign; and will explore the results of this initiative. Participants will be shown some of the final video clips
completed by the students, and will be invited to discuss the impact of online tools and new media in programs, such
as this, that are designed to engage Canada's youth.

Briefly comment on the assumptions around the terms in the title
The words – protect and present, public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment and present and future generation are in bold because these are like integrating into one another.
Because of how easy it is to generate digital images and videos, we often overlook some of the basic planning and thinking that needs to be part of the pre-production work in getting ready to do the filming. Thinking through who you are targeting with this also will help you choose your best shots.
However, NFU’s student was not a film or communications student which meant we have a lot of footage – some great shots – but no completed projects
