Projects
2011, our fourth
year, continues to be our best and most engaging yet.
So far in 2011, we have:
-
Installed a butterfly kite display at the Canadian border Welcome Center
in Windsor
-
Exhibited Dime Store kites in St. Placide, Quebec
-
Exhibited a Japanese kite exhibition at the Japanese Canadian Cultural
Center in Toronto.
- We recently signed a 3 year
Memorandum of Understanding with Park's Canada's Alexander Graham Bell
Museum in Baddeck, Cape Breton. Our first project has been the
exhibition of kites that AGB would have seen on his 1910-11 world
tour. For more information, please

reasons Ken Burn's did yet another series - because when they are dying
too rapidly
