The spark came from a couple of beers by the river. “Hey, that First Photo Here project with the NFB is pretty cool. Think there is anything we can do with Canada Nice?”

From there, that small spark turned into a larger project with Destination Canada where we took a closer look into Mayumi Yoshida’s story originally featured on First Photo Here.
