Canada Marshlands
LIGHT/WEIGHT GROUP EXHIBIT
ARTA Gallery, Distillery District, Toronto
Reception, Friday, May 3rd, 6 – 8 pm
Photographer Philip Jessup will exhibit his first instalment of images from his Canada Marshland Project, a survey of significant swamps, marshes, and bogs across Canada imperiled by climate change and land development. The exhibit at Arta Gallery in Toronto, May 2 – 15, 2019, will feature photos of Minesing Wetlands in the LIGHT/WEIGHT group exhibit during the Sccotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival. Nestled among family farms close to Barrie, Ontario, Minesing covers 15,000 acres and is designated by the RAMSAR Convention a Wetland of International Importance. In spring, melting snow swells the Nottawasaga and Mad Rivers forming a seasonal swamp of majestic water-tolerant silver maples that attracts canoeists and kayakers. Minesing supports an extremely high biodiversity and is home to hundreds of plant and animal species, including 225 bird species. Unpredictable variations in rainfall have placed significant stresses on deciduous and coniferous swamp forests. Since 1953, Minesing has lost 37% of its forest cover largely due to a more variable climate, which is a threat to this breathtaking swamp.
