At dusk, in a skateboard park, a teenager exits a building and heads towards the camera. He’s holding a microphone in his hand.
Pierre-Alexandre Thompson
Hi! My name is Pierre-Alexandre. I’m 17 years old and I come from Odanak.
Opposite the young man, to the northwest, a young girl runs out from behind a structure and moves towards the camera, microphone in hand.
Geneviève Descheneaux Lauzon
Well, hello! I'm Genevieve. I’m 16 years old and I also come from Odanak.
From the east, a young man emerges from another structure and also heads towards the camera. Geneviève hands him her microphone.
Keven Lamothe
Hello! My name is Keven Lamothe. I'm 15 years old. I live in Pierreville.
From the southwest, another young girl appears. She moves around a structure and heads towards the camera. Pierre-Alexandre hands her his microphone.
Katherine Dutil
Hello! I'm Katherine Dutil. I’m 15 years old and I come from Odanak as well!
Pierre-Alexandre Thompson
Where’s the fifth person?
Geneviève Descheneaux Lauzon
I don't know?
Pierre-Alexandre Thompson
Hey! Fifth person!
Geneviève Descheneaux Lauzon
Hey! Where are you? Come on! We’re waiting for you! Oh! Yeah!
Riding a moped, a fifth person arrives from the southeast. She bypasses the park’s structures and stops between Pierre-Alexandre and Geneviève, facing the camera.
Délya Gamelin Rainvile
Hello! My name is Délya Gamelin Rainvile. I’m 14 years old and I come from Odanak.
Katherine Dutil
Here we are, uh, at the skatepark.
Geneviève Descheneaux Lauzon
In Pierreville, at the bottom of the hill.
Keven Lamothe
It is a good place where young people like us can meet; people aged 15, 14, 17 and over.
Katherine Dutil gives the microphone back to Pierre-Alexandre.
Pierre-Alexandre Thompson
Uh, we come here to chat. We come here to chat, have fun, talk about this and that. And, uh, some people... they don’t just come for, uh...
Katherine Dutil
Chatting?
Pierre-Alexandre
For, uh, yeah, not just to chat, let's just say, uh, not very legal.
Délya Gamelin Rainvile
Yeah. And what you don't know eh... Well, the square over there, where it's like white eh, paler eh, well it was a pool.
Geneviève Descheneaux Lauzon
Yeah!
Pierre-Alexandre Thompson
But now it's concrete.
[Laughter]
Délya Gamelin Rainvile
And that, well, that's the old “skatepark” eh...
Geneviève et Katherine Dutil
Park!
Délya Gamelin Rainvile
And it's a little rusty, isn't it?
Geneviève
It's still there, so it's not that old.
Délya Gamelin Rainvile
No, but, uh, it should be knocked down!
[Laughter]
Katherine Dutil
Seems to me that we don't just come here...
Délya Gamelin Rainvile
Yeah.
Geneviève Descheneaux Lauzon
Yeah. Where is it?
Keven Lamothe
Yeah.
Pierre-Alexandre Thompson
Yeah. Seems to me we're... the youth centre, huh?
Katherine Dutil
Yes, that’s it!
Keven Lamothe
Yeah.
Délya Gamelin Rainvile
Yeah.
Keven Lamothe
Hey!
Pierre-Alexandre Thompson
Want to go show them?
Geneviève Descheneaux Lauzon
We'll show you. Let's go gang!
Katherine Dutil
Let's go!
Keven Lamothe
Let’s go!
The five teenagers leave together heading south-east.
