"'m really impressed by the art that I saw by young I Canadians, expressing themselves with such intricacy and emotion... I'm really flabbergasted, actually." — Defining Moments exhibit viewer in the Yukon Throughout the month of June 2012, four exhibits that featured original artwork from the Defining Moments collection were held in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. These exhibits were designed to celebrate the individual and collective identities of Canada's youth along with garnering excitement for the announcement of the 26 winners that were handpicked by a national jury and announced on July 1 st , Canada Day. The day also marked the launch of the Defining Moments Travelling Exhibit that feature the winning collection. By December 2012, the collection was exhibited in nearly every province and territory; in libraries, galleries, community centres, science centres, and schools. 17 2 Exhibits Online workshops 32 26 Facilitators Contest winners 39,000+ Exhibit & Event attendees Looking ahead, the Defining Moments exhibits will continue to reach venues across the country in early 2013, including Confederation Park in Ottawa as part of the National Capital Commission's Winterlude Celebration.
