In light of the recent pandemic and the courageous work done by brave frontline workers, The Young Canuckstorian Project celebrates some of the outstanding community leaders from Lambton’s past. Spearheaded by local author Mickey Maple, this project was made possible with support from the Creative County Grant Program.

Working in collaboration with the County of Lambton museums and archives, local historical societies, and Lambton Kent District School Board, a series of 20 two-minute animated videos have been produced celebrating local community leaders from the past.  Each of the following videos features animated versions of the young writers (Canuckstorians) who share fascinating local stories.
