Student artwork to celebrate the spirit of living in Saugeen Shores is now on display at the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre.
On Monday, the Town officially opened the 25th Anniversary Student Artwork Exhibit titled “The Spirit of Living in Saugeen Shores.”
The works will be available for in-person viewing until September 2, 2024 or digitally through the Town’s 25th Anniversary webpage.
Earlier this year, the town invited Port Elgin and Southampton students in Grades 5 and 10 to participate by submitting artwork, and submissions were received from St. Joseph’s Catholic School, Port Elgin.
“Town Council would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all Saugeen Shores students who, through their individual creativity, portrayed the spirit of living in our community in their artwork,” said Mayor Luke Charbonneau.
Angie Wilke’s Grade 5/6 class is taking part in the project, and the students' work has been photographed to be digitally stored in the community time capsule.
The Town of Saugeen Shores, with support from the Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce, sponsored this time capsule project to capture local memories, photographs, and items commemorating the last 25 years since the amalgamation of Saugeen Township with the towns of Port Elgin and Southampton. This endeavor was made possible by the generous donation of the locally crafted time capsule by Mayor Luke Charbonneau and family.
