This year marks a milestone for the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies outreach program, Through the Lens, which has touched close to 600 participating students and boasts a collection of 1,800 photographs. For 15 years, Through the Lens has immersed high school students in the creative process of traditional and digital photography and encouraged them to experiment and learn about themselves, their community and visual communication through the exciting medium of photography. This year, 28 students from Morley Community School, Banff Community High School, and Canmore Collegiate High School are participating. The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies is located in Banff National Park.
