This used to be one of my favourite things to see on TV as a kid. It ranks right up there with Mr. Dressup - he kicked butt.

A young girl who loves to dance and is ready to marry chooses a log driver over his more well-to-do, land-loving competition. Driving logs down the river has made him the best dancing partner to be found. This lighthearted, animated tale is based on the song The Log Driver's Waltz by Wade Hemsworth. Kate and Anna McGarrigle sing to the music of the Mountain City Four.

Classic Canadiana. Thanks for posting this.
I remember driving back to Toronto back in the late 70s. I heard on the radio "that as of today there would be no more log drivers on the Ottawa river". It felt like it was a part of Canadian history....finished. It really hurt.
