This episode was so funny! Do you know how long it took me to make that robot head… a long time… with a little advice from the crew!

Darcy Waite

Oh man, and Rylan did you see my dance moves, I practiced those for hours, and I think they turned out prettttty amazeballs.

Ana Golja

Someone sent me this video of you talking about the terminator Darcy LOL – also wish I was there to see that epic boat!

Darcy Waite

Don’t worry Ana, we’re gonna meet up with you soon enough, there will be more epic things to see!

Rylan

Hey Darcy, do you know what I love about this epic tree decoration from our set?

Darcy Waite

Rylan

Darcy Waite

Ok I’ll take the hint!

SRA Motocross

If you live in the city it doesn’t mean you can’t learn to do motocross, there are tracks just outside of most cities in Canada where you can book in for lessons and learn to let your inner racer fly! Motocross got its start in Europe around 1924 and was brought over to North America shortly after that. As equality movements gained momentum in the 60s, women became more and more active in the sport. The first national competition for women was held in 1974, known as the Powder Puff National Championships. Well, female motocross drivers are no Powder Puffs, so thankfully the name of the competition was changed the following year to the Women’s Motocross Nationals. Those drivers are so fierce, even Beyoncé would approve!

Here’s where Ana & Rylan gave it a try!

Icebreaker

Opera de Montreal

The Opera de Montreal is a landmark in Montreal, with its costume department being one of the reasons people go to see their productions. The costumes are elaborate and contain intricate details that cannot even be seen from the audience… but the costume designers and creators are artists, and take their craft very seriously. It can take 4 people up to a month to make some of the more complicated costumes! Getting to go behind the scenes into the warehouse where all these fabulous costumes are kept is a dream come true. Rows and rows of racks, mannequins wearing dresses that would make your arms weary is all in a day’s tour. Check out what the opera has coming up next!

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!
