Saving Our History One Photo At Time: Cruising Ontario 125

The province of Ontario, Canada, is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2023. To mark this milestone, the Ontario Heritage Trust has launched a new initiative called Cruising Ontario 125. This ambitious project aims to document the province's rich history and diverse heritage through the power of photography.

The Cruising Ontario 125 Project

Cruising Ontario 125 is a collaborative effort between the Ontario Heritage Trust, the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation, and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. The project invites Ontarians to submit their photographs of historical sites, landmarks, and events that have shaped the province's identity.

The Importance of Preserving Our History

Preserving our history is essential for understanding who we are and where we come from. It helps us to appreciate the sacrifices and achievements of our ancestors and to learn from their mistakes. By documenting our past, we can ensure that it is not forgotten and that future generations can benefit from its lessons.

Photography is a powerful tool for preserving history. Photographs can capture moments in time and provide a glimpse into the lives of people who lived before us. They can also document the changes that have occurred in our communities and landscapes over time.

How to Participate in Cruising Ontario 125

Participating in Cruising Ontario 125 is easy. Simply submit your photographs to the project website. You can submit up to five photographs, and each photograph must be accompanied by a brief description of the historical site, landmark, or event that it depicts.

The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2023.

Examples of Cruising Ontario 125 Photographs

The Cruising Ontario 125 project has already received a number of submissions from across the province. Here are a few examples of the photographs that have been submitted:

• A photo of the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie, Ontario, which was built in 1927 and connects Canada to the United States.
• A photo of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Ontario, which is one of the largest museums in Canada and houses a collection of over six million objects.
• A photo of the Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, which is home to a vast wilderness area and is a popular destination for camping, hiking, and canoeing.

The Cruising Ontario 125 project is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Ontario's rich history and diverse heritage. By submitting your photographs to the project, you can help to preserve our province's past and ensure that it is not forgotten.

We encourage all Ontarians to participate in this project and to share their love of history with the world.
