Join us for an inspiring evening with internationally acclaimed Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose powerful large-scale images explore the complex relationship between humanity and the natural world. Through breathtaking photographs of landscapes shaped by industry, Burtynsky's work examines themes of water, oil, rapid industrialization, and climate change, inviting audiences to reflect on some of the defining environmental and social challenges of our time.
The Jack Matthews Fellowship was created in 2008 to honour the founding contributions former Headmaster Jack Matthews made to Lakefield College School, Trent University and The Canadian Canoe Museum. The Fellowship has brought together our three institutions and the resulting collaboration has benefitted our diverse communities and varying missions. The legacy of Jack Matthews’ extraordinary vision and leadership allows us to continue to grow and learn as global citizens in a uniquely Canadian way.
