So YouTube has approved Sophie’s Video with full audio. Sophie, a Grade Seven student, put the video together showing shots of the Pekisko and Kananaskis areas along the Southeastern Slopes of Alberta in response to a presentation made by her father, Curtis, to her class. The video shows the beauty of the region where Petro-Canada wants to put a pipeline and the ugly downside of industrial activity in areas nearby.

You may or may not remember that YouTube removed the audio when we first posted it in January because we didn’t have Joni Mitchell’s approval. Well, it took a while, but we got it! Joni saw the video and approved Sophie’s use of her music on the video – for free. We looove Joni Mitchell!

So here’s the video with sound!

WOOT!
