Just passing along some info:
The
Canadian Heritage Photography Foundation (CHPF) is an archive of photographs reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of Canada. The CHPF is a registered non-profit organization with the goal of collecting, preserving, and digitizing Canadian photographs. These photographs will provide a window into our country’s rich past.
The CHPF was founded in 2001 by the late Regina-born
documentary and landscape photographer
George Hunter (and
more here). He got his start working at the Winnipeg Tribune.
You would have undoubtedly been envious of his
photo bus (scroll down the page) which was obviously before the invention of flying cameras (i.e. drones).
The CHPF is building its archives and will accept
donations.
The Foundation also runs
photo contests. It is currently holding a June/July Pride themed photo contest in hopes of diversifying its archives to include more images that are representative of Canadian members of the LGBTQ2+ community. The CHPF is interested in images of the LGBTQ2+ community as well as images from Pride events/parades, etc.
