Our City Our Stories is a collaboration between The City of Toronto, CANON Canada, and community arts partners throughout the city, including Lakeshore Arts. A number of local youth attended 4 digital photography workshops at Lakeshore Arts, and completed a series of 9 photos that reflect each artist's authentic Toronto experience. All competed stories were then submitted to the city-wide Our City Our Stories photography contest. Winners were announced in early 2010. Congratulations to Veronica Brown, a Top 10 finalist!
