For years, the Canada Vignettes were a welcome part of Canadian TV and none of the live action ones had more charm and love than this particular one.
It's a wonderful snapshot of Canadian urban life in the 1970's at its best. There is something special to see this film paying tribute and giving voice to these volunteers who gave their time to ensure the safety of school children, set to a gentle Arlo Guthrie like ballad. Combine this with the footage of children of that era with charming antics of their own and it brings back fond memories of a time of a more compassionate Canada that is sorely missed today.
