The Living History Multimedia Association, in collaboration with many partners from throughout Southwestern Ontario, is producing a 3-part documentary series to explore the little-known story of the devastating effect the War of 1812 had upon the Upper Canadian peninsula (now Southwestern Ontario). As part of the award-winning ‘Ontario Visual Heritage Project,’ the series will be distributed for free, along with a curriculum companion book, into every school in Southwestern Ontario.  The project will be completed in early 2013, and it will be premiered at several launch events throughout the year.

Are you a re-enactor or actor who would like to participate in our documentary series? We would love to hear from you! Contact us at 1812@visualheritage.ca
