On this week’s episode of THAT’S AWSM! we’re hanging out with 12 year old Cree Kiya and TV host/activist Sarain Fox! From tackling the open road in a motorcycle to soaring through the sky, there’s nothing these two can’t do, as long as they stick together! With Sarain driving and Kiya in the sidecar, these two will learn about all sorts of interesting things on the highway of life, and with the wind beneath their wings, they won’t just be shooting for the stars, they might actually reach them!
During World War II, gliders were used to transport soldiers in to enemy territory. Powerless and stealthy, the design of a glider was inspired by the movement of winged animals. Today gliders are used for fun! Plane gliding is a popular sport, even making it to the Olympics in 1936, and glider enthusiasts can join clubs and participate in competitions.
Kiya and Sarain tried out plane gliding at the “Association de vol à voile Champlain”

Motorcycles are any motor vehicle on two or three wheels – if you hit four wheels, you’ve gone too far! The first motorcycle was created in the late 1800’s, and while today’s motorcycles are powered by combustion (just like a car), the first motorcycles were actually powered by steam! With tons of different kinds, from small scooters to huge bikes, motorcycles have become hugely popular, with riders forming clubs and riding alone as well as in groups for fun.

You may recognize him from his roles on Blackstone and Delmer & Marta, or you may have heard that he’s produced a few films and web series himself, but it’s time to get to know DARCY WAITE as host of That’s AWSM! Outgoing, sporty, goofy, warm, and entertaining, Darcy is down to try any and all of our AWSM activities… unfortunately he doesn’t often get to! He can recite every single line from every Will Ferrell movie ever made, and isn’t too crazy about vegetables, but there is nothing he loves more than meeting teens from communities all over Canada and helping them live their best AWSM lives – which makes him the perfect guy for the job!
