📷⛵️The Rideau Canal has been a photo-worthy landmark for nearly 200 years. This summer, the Elgin and Area Heritage Society invites you to explore the history of the canal through archival photos, on display at the Red Brick School in Elgin!

Discover the canal through the lenses of photographers like Clifford Pennock, who captured the waterway at a time when it was still an important transportation corridor. But from the beginning, the canal also served as a place for locals and visitors to play, fish and enjoy the outdoors. All of this was captured by local photographers of the day, offering a unique glimpse into the past.

You can get more info about the exhibition and the Red Brick School at www.eah.ca

You don’t need a fancy camera to take great nature photos—you just need to know where to go.

One of the best places in the region to find interesting plants and wildlife is Limerick Forest 🌲🌲🌲 With over 6000 hectares spread over four large consolidated tracts of property and numerous smaller, unconsolidated tracts located across the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Limerick Forest is a ideal place to find inspiration.
