Crawford Lake: Layers in Time

Toronto neighbours, mark your calendars for Crawford Lake: Layers in Time at the Royal Ontario Museum, opening September 27, 2025 and running through January 3, 2027. Included with admission, the exhibition invites visitors to explore Crawford Lake’s extraordinary thousand-year record of environmental change. The exhibition brings together Indigenous belongings, settler objects, scientific evidence, artworks and historical documentation. By placing these different forms of knowledge side by side, it offers a layered look at how people and landscapes have shaped one another over time. For local residents, this is more than a museum visit—it is an opportunity to spend a meaningful day in Toronto, connect with the region’s history and reflect on the environment we share. Consider inviting friends, family or neighbours and pairing the exhibition with other cultural and community stops nearby.
