Belle Park from the Air 1924-2024

Belle Park has seen quite a transformation over the past one hundred years. On June 26, the video premiere of Belle Park from the Air 1924-2024 took place at the Broom Factory on nearby Rideau Street. Made by Dorit Naaman, Francine Berish, Laura Murray and Matt Rogalsky, the short film traces the site through the progression of wetland-landfill (1952-1974)-golf course (1978-2017)-park.

From a bird's eye view, aerial photos from the national and provincial air photo libraries are synchronized with each other over time, and an intriguing sound track. The Belle Park Project's rich website will lead viewers to the from the air page and the film on YouTube.
