While attending school in Toronto's downtown core in 2013, I'd often visit Rouge Park to escape the busy city streets. I'd see people canoeing and fishing on the river, splashing in the lake, and walking their pets along the beach. The idea of sailing has always intrigued me so I really enjoyed watching and photographing the sailboats as I walked along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. Things made more sense when I went on these solo adventures. The peacefulness enabled me to reflect on life and this complex world and think about where I was headed. Those moments not only saved me at times, but they changed my life! I hope my Watermark helps protect this waterbody and the many values provided by it.
