Traditionally April 1st heralds the opening of #SP

Traditionally April 1st heralds the opening of #SPARKPhotoFestival. While we await the Festival in September we take a #TBT look at the @newcanadianscentre Newcomer Children's Photography Project exhibit from 2017. The goal of the workshops, a collaboration between SPARK and the NCC, was to inspire young people to explore and connect with Canadian culture, language and the environment through hands-on photographic instruction and activity. View the Virtual Exhibit through the temp link in our bio and @newcanadianscentre blog.
