This year, the collection brings together a stunning array of images from seven provinces and two territories, offering a panoramic view of the nation’s sprawling beauty.
The 2024 series presents a selection of nine different locations, each depicted through the lens of Canadian photographers.
These sites include the rugged peaks of Tongait KakKasuangita SilakKijapvinga in Torngat Mountains National Park by Michael Winsor, and the serene flows of Tehjeh Deé in Nááts’įhch’oh National Park Reserve captured by Colin Field. Mike Grandmaison showcases the vibrant sunflowers of Altona, Manitoba, while James Stevenson transports viewers to the serene Galiano Island in British Columbia. The sacred Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac is elegantly framed by Ladislas Kadyszewski, and Sander Meurs highlights the historical Point Prim Lighthouse in Prince Edward Island.
Other featured locations include the Thousand Islands in Ontario by Ian Coristine, Restigouche River in New Brunswick by Guylaine Bégin, and the imposing Qarlinngua sea arch in Arctic Bay, Nunavut, photographed by Clare Kines.
