In 2013, a Grade 12 photography class at St. Jean de Brebeuf Catholic High School, under the direction of their teacher, John Senisi, began a challenging yet intriguing project. Using historical photographs from the Vaughan Archives, students attempted to match the location in their chosen image with the present-day geographical location.
The old contrasting with the new not only tells the age-old story of progress and changing times, but also highlights the community’s grand, old buildings – the shops and churches and schools – which we might otherwise dismiss were it not for the City’s archival photographs and a creative Grade 12 assignment.
