The music video for the song was filmed at two different high schools.(Brandon White)
High school students from the Northern Saskatchewan communities of Stanley Mission and La Ronge have come together to create a song and music video.
Lock The Door is the name of the track by collaborative band Capybara Mission
, which features students from Churchill Community School in La Ronge and Rhoda Hardlotte Memorial Keethanow High School in Stanley Mission.
The idea for the collaboration came after Eliza Doyle, a music teacher in Stanley Mission, came across a call for applications from the Saskatchewan Festival of Words for schools in the north to engage in a lyrical workshop.
