Spirit of the Lake shares stories through the work of four Indigenous artists and an immersive holographic
Conservation Halton is proud to announce the opening of Spirit of the Lake—a new exhibit at the Deer Clan Longhouse Gallery at Crawford Lake Conservation Area. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the stories of Crawford Lake through the work of four Indigenous artists and an immersive holographic experience.
The exhibit highlights the park’s rare meromictic lake, whose waters and sediments quietly hold centuries of life, memory, and change. From an Indigenous perspective, the lake is alive—a storyteller whose spirit has carried, and continues to carry, the stories of the land and the people who have lived alongside it. Discover the connections between land, water, culture, and community at Crawford Lake Conservation Area, open weekends and holidays from February 1 to June 28, 2026.
