A new travelling exhibition from the Canadian Museum of History and Canada's History Society, "Snapshots of Canada" pairs 50 powerful photographs with texts by well-known Canadian historians, authors, and journalists from the trial of Métis leader Louis Riel to Paul Henderson's winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series, and from the deportation of Japanese Canadians after the Second World War to the standoff at Oka. The photographs, ranging from depictions of high drama to simple joy, were drawn from "100 Photos That Changed Canada (2009)" and "100 Days That Changed Canada (2011)", published by Canada's History and HarperCollins Canada. The images and accompanying text explore Canada from four perspectives: Building a Country, Living Together, Seeking Justice and Celebrating Culture. Contributors include literary non-fiction writer Charlotte Gray, best-selling novelist Lawrence Hill, historian Desmond Morton, archivist Jim Burant, award-winning military historian Tim Cook, and journalist
