Title: Transport Canada celebrates 80 years of leadership in transportation
The Transport Canada corporate banner flies into a white background and fades out.
Soft music begins, fade into an old television set in a 70s decor. On the television we see four scenes, one after the other:
- very old black and white footage of a speeding steam train
- black and white footage of a man running towards airplanes
- vintage colour footage of a man and two children wearing life jackets
- vintage colour footage of a man walking towards his car and entering it.
The music gets a little louder during a full screen shot of a present-day father and his two daughters sitting in a kitchen eating breakfast. A little girl reaches for a cereal container. The mother steps in from behind with a pot of coffee and a plate of pastries.
Music gets louder as a rapid series of images of different modes of modern transportation follow one another:
- a flying plane viewed from the ground
- a container ship at sea
- a maritime port
- a moving train
- air cargo being loaded
- large shipping trucks moving on a highway with trains in the background
- a bird's eye view of a major city's busy road network
- airport security personnel screening boxes
- a tanker truck moving along a highway
- a woman seated next to the driver, looking towards the back seat of a car
- passengers on a plane
- business men and women working while riding a train
- a subway stop
- Vancouver's Sky Train
- a cyclist biking on a mountain road
- a plane taking off
Music gets louder for dramatic effect as we see:
- parachutists jumping out of a plane
- a snowmobiler in the mountains
- a person kayaking river rapids
- Three ATV drivers waiting for others to cross a bridge over a river
- Two people in a canoe wearing life jackets
- a car driving along the coast
- a man using a GPS as he steers a small boat
- a family on a train
- a driver fastening his seatbelt
- a city train at a snow-covered crossing
- helicopters taking off
- a commercial fishing boat returning to port
- an airport employee using screening equipment
- equipment scanning containers in a maritime port
- construction vehicles
Music continues as we see Transport Canada employees working in:
- a vehicle safety testing facility
- an office where employees look at floor plans
- a construction site beneath a large bridge
- another vehicle safety testing facility
The last scene is a group of employees standing outside of the Transport Canada headquarters building in Ottawa.
Music stops – screen goes to black, then music starts very softly again as the ribbons from the Transport Canada 80th anniversary logo flow gently.
