TEMPORARY EXHIBITION

All Along the Waterfront

May 18, 2022 - May 22, 2023

The preservation of the world’s most integral natural resource – water - is a significant international issue that has recently seen a resurgence amongst global youth. At a time when water levels in Niagara-on-the-Lake have continuously risen over several years, and the uncertainty of how this will affect our geography, our economy and our general livelihoods can be alarming, this exhibition aims to raise awareness of how our waterways - the Niagara River and Lake Ontario – have shaped the history of our community. An understanding of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s lasting relationship and dependence on its water will help us ensure its protection for future generations.
