The places
Canada forgot.

Abandoned mines, empty fire towers, sunken ships, downed planes and dark underground labrynths. A constantly growing visual record of the corners of the country that time walked away from.

About

One man, a vehicle, and a country full of forgotten places.

Lost Canada is an ongoing personal project to document the places this country no longer maintains, watches, or remembers. Some are reached by canoe. Some by a long bush walk. A few are still half-active in ways the records don't admit.

Nothing here is meant as an invitation to trespass. Locations are deliberately kept vague. The point is the photograph and the small history attached to it.
