There is something so unique and special about old photos. Not the ‘old’ photos from 10 years ago, but the really OLD photos that give us a glimpse into life before we were born. A time when our parents or grandparents were living their lives in a time before snap chat, social media and cellphones!<\/p>\n

Every family has a box of them. Maybe even some photo albums that have been passed down through generations. So often they remain hidden in a drawer, only brought out every few years but when we see them, they bring us joy.<\/p>\n

Our challenge to you this Heritage Month, is to dig up those old, forgotten photos and go through them. Really go through them and then choose your favourite ones. The next step of the challenge is where we come in.<\/p>\n
