Simple Plan documentary looks back on 25 years of music and memories
Canadian pop-punk band Simple Plan is opening up about the ups and downs that shaped their career in new documentary, Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd.
The film marks more than 25 years of music for the Montreal-born band.
'It's been an incredible ride, and I just feel so lucky to be here,' drummer Chuck Comeau said in an interview with CTV Atlantic's Katie Kelly.
'It was a process not only for our fans, but for ourselves - to have a moment to look back and be proud of ourselves,' said lead guitarist Jeff Stinco said.
The documentary pulls back the curtain on the group's journey from high school friends to international success, exploring the personal and professional challenges that came with growing up in the spotlight.

'It's about hardship. It's about hard work, and it's about a lot of beauty as well,' said Stinco. 'There's a very human relationship between four guys that met in high school and have a very complex dynamic.'
While The Kids in the Crowd is a celebration of their legacy, it doesn't shy away from the more awkward moments either.
'I realized that I made some very bad fashion decisions throughout the years,' said Stinco.
Simple Plan is currently touring and shows no signs of slowing down. The brand new documentary Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd is available now.

Bowring Park celebrates Peter Pan statue's 100th anniversary
The Peter Pan statue in Bowring Park holds memories of childhood, says Gaylynne Gulliver, chair of the Bowring Park Foundation, who helped organize a two-day festival to celebrate the statue's 100th year in the park. "I think it's a part of the memory of everybody who grew up in this area of the province," Gulliver told CBC News. The festival included face painting, crafts, music and storytelling. The statue was first erected in 1925 by Sir Edgar Rennie Bowring. It was dedicated to Bowring's three-year-old granddaughter, Betty Munn, who died on the SS Florizel after in sank in the ocean near Cappahayden in 1918. The statue is a duplicate of the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens in London, England. There are only six other replicas across the world, including the one in St. John's. Gulliver says the statue is about remembrance and love. "It's a symbol of … eternal youth and childhood and the child in all of us," said Gulliver. Local storyteller Dennis Flynn also attended the event and told stories about the park and the statue's history.

But this statue in Bowring Park is 100 years young 9 minutes ago The statue was erected in 1925 in Bowring Park in the west end of St. John's. It's a duplicate of the one in Kensington Gardens in London, England. The CBC's Julia Israel has the story of how it came to be and the sweet story behind it. He said his favourite story is about two monkeys named Josephine and Gus that used to live in the park. In 1955, they got away, and Gus was lured back with a bunch of bananas, Flynn said. Flynn says the statue's claim to fame is having two dedications — one to Betty Munn and the other to all the children of Newfoundland and Labrador. And, he says, it was important for people of all ages to come to the park for the event, considering the challenging times in the world.
