Canon Creator Lab | The Public Landscape
In partnership with Niagara Artists Centre, Canon Canada is launching a new initiative designed to support creative exploration and community engagement through the art of photography. Together, they’re bringing hands-on Canon Creator Lab experiences to Niagara, offering guided photo walks and workshops that celebrate both local landscapes and emerging talent.
Using professional Canon gear, participants will have the opportunity to explore their creativity, connect with their community, and learn from experienced local instructors whether starting with the basics or upgrading existing skills.
THE PUBLIC LANDSCAPE
Port Dalhousie – Lakeside Park Beach, Carousel, Lighthouses

From the hand-carved, Charles I.D. Looff original carousel in Lakeside Park to the beachy shores of Lake Ontario offering a clear view of downtown Toronto, Port Dalhousie is nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario and Martindale Pond.
Established as a small village in the early 1800s, Port Dalhousie quickly grew into a bustling community and hub for shipping and trade with the opening of the Welland Canal and the burgeoning maritime industry. Soon after, steamships would bring hundreds of thousands of visitors a year to the Port Dalhousie scenic waterfront’s sandy beaches and flourishing amusement park.
Port Dalhousie and the waterfront have undergone many transformations since William Hamilton Merritt opened the Welland Canal in 1829, with the iconic lighthouses, the piers and other canal remnants and Lakeside Park Carousel call backs to the community’s heritage. Today, Port Dalhousie remains a must-visit part of the St. Catharines experience with some of the best restaurants, bars and shops in Niagara.
