Scenes Across The Country

 The corridor to and from the Canadian History Hall is lined with a series of images from across the country. Some, such an an activity, are widespread. Others are specific locations. They are done with mirror and a white overlay that has a very artistic effect. This first one is of Inuit drum dancers.

Here we have the Rideau Canal.

Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia is an idyllic spot.

Signal Hill is found in St. John's in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Our Lady of Victory Church is in the Northwest Territories.

Here we have a Metis cemetery at Batoche in Saskatchewan.

Next is an activity that speaks to me- mountain climbing.

The Saamis Teepee is in Alberta.

This depicts the Caribou Monument in Bowring Park in Newfoundland and Labrador.

And this lighthouse is in Prince Edward Island.

Inside the main hub of the Hall, a video screen shows a multitude of images from across Canadian history. A close eye will note Queen Elizabeth II. Also present, Jean Chretien with Nelson Mandela, who was made an honorary citizen of the country here at the Museum.

The Hall is divided into three galleries, and the first starts looking at things from the earliest times, with oral histories of the First Peoples, as well as archaeology.
