Welcome to Picturing Place. This photography exhibit invites you into the personal perspectives of local residents as they explore and express their connections to Hamilton Harbour. Through photography and storytelling, participants reflect on the harbour’s past, present, and imagined future—revealing a layered landscape of memory, meaning, and possibility. At the heart of these images are stories of a community—its reflections, hopes, and evolving relationship with the harbour it calls home.

Join us for a kick-off event on Saturday, May 24 from 10 am to noon in the HFM York Blvd Event Space for a celebration of Hamilton Harbour with the photographers. The exhibit runs during market hours until June 25th.

This exhibit is part of a research project conducted through the University of Waterloo’s School of Environment, Resources & Sustainability, in partnership with Conservation Halton. It is supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Insight Development Grant granted to Dr. Rob de Loe.
