Oh, my Gord! From 1996, it's another full episode of Canada's answer to The Street, "Sesame Park"! Okay, so it's only the first full ep I've been able to share, but that currently makes a total of two online, so yeah! :-) The other one is from 2000 (bit.ly/2WhYygN), thanks to @FragglevisionReturns. This ep stars Basil the Polar Bear (Bob Stutt), Louis the Otter (Pier Kohl), Dodi (Noreen Young), the retired bush pilot in the opening credits, Chaos the kitten (Karen Valleau), Katie (Trish Leeper), the gal in the wheelchair, and Ray (Derek Ritschel). I saved this many moons ago with no name attached and only just noticed it had disappeared from here again. Much thanks to the original nameless uploader.
Sweet bookends of different CBC Playground bumpers and assorted CBC education computer graphics. Kinda cool to see. So, don't push Stop too soon! They start at 28:05. Bless the original uploader for keeping them in.
No idea which clips are repeats, of course. All "new" to us! There's a definite writing theme overall, with a side order of picnics and rain. On the street, we find Louis writing a poem with Basil's help and Super Katie helping Ray write a letter to his sister. Otherwise, here's what you'll find.
MUPPET STUFF: The Martians (aka Yip-Yips; Jerry Nelson, Red, and Martin P. Robinson, Blue) spot a leaky faucet through a kitchen window (repeat, 1992); Prairie Dawn (Fran Brill) directs Grover (Frank Oz) in a production of "Singin' In The Rain" (repeat, 1992); Dodi tries to get Chaos to read the word, "No", but she refuses, saying, "No!".
CARTOONS: Ten adorable bugs gather for a picnic that's almost rained out; Adam rides a bike and goes on a picnic in the Yukon snow; aliens land in a meadow, have a picnic, then take off leaving all their trash behind (they're forced back to clean up); Enviroman, a tiny caped crusador puts an end to Otto the hippo's water wasting; two computer animations for the letter M using arts and crafts supplies (not Canadian, the theme's very familiar) and a variety of different fonts in the second one (again, sounds familiar); a pastoral scene goes through a thunderstorm and we're rewarded with a rainbow; Wet and Dry with a man under a faulty umbrella; a French cartoon of an elephant shielding some forest creatures from the rain.
FILMS: Let's Go To The Beach (just a guess), has plucky Canuck kids frolicking at their local beach no matter what the weather; "Somebody Writes Everything", a song about, well, different modes of writing; a trip around the sights of Magdalen Islands, Quebec, ending with an elephant-shaped rock in the water; French song ("Oui, Oui, Oui" maybe) over a live-action film of a boy and his father putting together a large puzzle of his baby sister's face as she watches and gnaws on some pieces.

NOTE: The animation for the Enviroman cartoon reminded me of Richard Condie's wacky and wonderful NFB cartoon, "The Big Snit", from 1985. Enjoy.
