An ENTIRE era of CBC Kids is currently Lost Media. Does anyone remember the era where the set was a garden in a geodesic dome? It lasted from December 2005 to September 3, 2007. The hosts were Patty, Kush, Joyce, Holly and Mark. A few set photos are online, but that’s it.
I’m honestly shocked that it’s gone this long without being found at all. The sad thing is I actually had some of it. In August 2007, my dad actually taped “The Saveums” (a show I’d watched on the block when I was younger) as a joke, telling me to put the tape on top of the VCR on and see what was on it. It started mid-episode but had quite a bit of CBC Garden footage afterwards, I think all the way to the credits (there was I think at least one other show on the tape).
Anyways, I taped over it almost immediately, assuming it was dispensable…and then just a few weeks later, CBC Kids went through an overhaul and EVERYTHING changed except for Patty. I’d seen a few ads about it, but wasn’t sure if it was just a new interstitial series or what…at the very least, I didn’t expect such a drastic change. Back in September 2003, following Get Set For Life (which itself was Lost Media for quite a while) getting an overhaul. you’d still sometimes see Alyson and Michael’s old bumpers, which was nice (I think the block got an overhaul a few months later, though).
Well, I was really depressed about the changes then since I had just started to properly be introduced to the garden dome era (I’d barely watched CBC Kids since December 2003). Now, it’s 2024 and it’s STILL missing!! But I believe recordings ARE out there. Hopefully this thread will help find them.

I noticed that there isn’t even a page for this on the Lost Media wiki, no wonder it hasn’t been found.
I tried making a page for it today and someone moved it to the sandbox. I moved it back, since it was meant to be a main article and not in the sandbox, and they deleted it, apparently because it was a stub.

I keep trying to create a page for this on the lost media wiki and it keeps getting deleted. And the person who deleted it doesn’t even have a talk page I can communicate with them on.

they are just harassing you or a troll. Report them to staff

I think it was a staff member. Their problem was that the article was a stub and didn’t have sources, but there isn’t a lot of official sources for some of the info online, and I included the basic info that I think was necessary (what it was, the time it was shown, how lost it was).

You'll have to do more research, then.
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."

Unfortunately there isn’t a ton of articles about it online.
Unfortunately with obscure channel block idents and such, there isn’t much that can be done aside from the upload of home recordings during the airing of the material. As for the article, you will need to have sources for the article to be accepted and posted on the Wiki. If there is any known information about the block, I would link the places you got that from as a source to start. Articles without sources or that rely on information that is only hearsay cannot be published as there is nothing providing any kind of evidence or information about the topic. Even existence unconfirmed pieces of media have sources such as Reddit discussions or mentions of the material outside of the LMW. I’ll do a little digging myself and I will see what I can come up with tonight.

Hopefully this will help.
Mr Dressup was still on the CBC as late as 07?
It hurts.
No, it wasn’t on at that point. For the longest time I assumed it was removed in December 2005…until some years ago when I discovered it had, in fact, stayed on the block until September of 2006. I was shocked by that.
For at least 11 years now, I have been on the hunt for the 2005-2007 era of Kids CBC. I'm referring to the garden dome one with not just Patty as host, but the other four hosts: Joyce, Kush, Mark, and Holly. As of 2024, it still hasn't been found at all.
The earliest search efforts date back to a March 25, 2011 post on PacificDomes that showed a picture of you and the four other regional hosts at the time, as well as an overhead photo of what the set looked like. eventdome.wordpress.com/kids-cbc-dome/
I was pretty much the only one who remembers the intro, as I first watched Kids CBC back in at least 2006. From what I can recall from memory, the intro showed Patty flying a plane to the dome, where she then pulled the other hosts out of a TV. Other interstitials I remember from the era were "Cooking with Kush", "Music with Mark", "Hobbies with Holly" and of course "Painting with Patty". (I dunno if Joyce had one though or if one exists, but I think it might've been called "Journaling with Joyce" idk). I also recall the block signing off with the credits with a panning shot of the set in the background. I'm not sure what other segments I remember from the era, as my memory is quite hazy. I also recall Dot (the animated character that first appeared in 2003) appearing in the intro at least twice.
I then later discovered two segments from the same era, that being the aforementioned "Painting with Patty" and the "Nap Rap".
And I first heard about the "Hobbies with Holly" being the name of a segment after discovering a video that was posted in May 2013 on Holly Bernier's Facebook page: fb.watch/t55cR7iQbU/
A user on Reddit also told me about a lost Kids CBC show called "You're It!". It was basically where you put the hosts, including the animated character Dot, and their short segments into a 30-minute show with a different theme each week. The show combined animation, live-action, puppetry, music, and movement to educate and entertain the viewers.
Overall, I am honestly quite shocked that this certain era of Kids CBC has fallen through the cracks, given how many other obscure eras manage to make their way online, such as the Care Force era from 2007 and the Get Set for Life eras from 2000-2003. If anyone could find any "Kids CBC 2005-2006" stuff, then that's a good start.
