Learn how history meets technology with the CANADIGM group's work in preserving carvings made by Canadian soldiers in the tunnels beneath Vimy.
The Canadian Historical Documentation & Imaging Group, known as CANADIGM, was founded in 2011 to digitally record the historic sites, documents and artefacts related to Canadian history – especially those the general public might otherwise not have access to.
CANADIGM is a not-for-profit group based in London, Ontario consisting of visual artists, photographers, former educators, mechanical technicians, as well as media and logistics professionals. The tie that binds the group of volunteers together is a dedication to preserve Canadian history.
The group’s first project was The Souterraine Impressions. It involved documenting, researching and recreating images and carvings made in 1917 by Canadian soldiers while they were safely sheltered in the underground quarries or caves of France preparing for the upcoming battle for Vimy Ridge.
The Sarnia Library houses a 306-seat accessible theatre. Up to nine seats can be removed to accommodate barrier free seats.
The theatre is equipped with LED lighting along aisles, wall sconces and ceiling, sound equipment, projection screen, stage, lobby area with servery and barrier free washrooms.
