Connections made at exhibit

The response to the Home Children Canada exhibit at Creemore Log Cabin was intense and totally engaging.

We had visitors who shared their family stories as well as those who learned for the first time about this story in Canada’s history.

One of the most special moments was when a connection was made between the “Girl in the Painting” (Eliza’s story) and Bella (at left), both 13 years of age and history came alive.

Michele McKenzie is deputy CEO of Clearview Public Library.
