“Then And Now” Photo Contest
Part of the Live our Heritage project is a photo contest. The theme is ‘Then and Now’ as we explore our journey from the past to the present. All photos will become part of the final exhibit that will happen during September of 2022. We want to see Métis in all its beauty from THEN to how it has changed to NOW! The only restriction that we have is that you do not trespass on private property. Please ask permission or take your photo from the road. Please contact Micheline Williams (581-814-2186 to share them via USB key or by email mwilliams@heritagelsl.ca ) with subject: LOH Photo Contest.
