The next time the camera was picked up was for the birth of the youngest child, Cecilia."

Millie gives a piano recital at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, followed by shots of the Chen family at home after the concert. Camera: Edward Tzen-hwa Chen.
In this piano recital, Millie was nervous as usual to perform publicly. She was grateful to be wearing her mother’s handmade skirt that was long enough to hide her trembling knees. Mavericks in many ways, Edward and Chia-chi (parents) always encouraged their children to participate in diverse cultural experiences. Millie and Cecilia both trained in the arts and later continued to take part in the arts professionally and in daily life."

She can be seen laying in the grass kicking up her feet and winking at the camera."

3 J.P Birthday 1 year Old 1976 : Part 1 of 4
Part of Home Made Visible collection
Item consists of an Argentine-Chilean family’s home movie featuring a party with adults and children dancing, footage of and from the top of the CN tower, a child playing around the house and pool, and a child playing with a soccer ball wearing a 1978 Argentina Championship t-shirt.
Project and donor(s) contributed description follows: "These clips show episodes from Jean-Pierre Marchant's childhood in the mid-1970s Montreal. His parents were immigrants, recently arrived from Argentina and Chile. Throughout Jean-Pierre's childhood, they documented the family's life with a Super 8 camera (and would later switch to video). These clips depict him as a playful child, trips, and well-attended birthday parties. Looking back, Jean-Pierre recognizes that these parties were a big opportunity for the adults to get together and celebrate. The Marchants mostly socialized with people from similar backgrounds, and Jean-Pierre says that 'it was important for my parents, who were trying to make a life in a new place, to associate with others who spoke their language'."
