Happy ! A charming moment captured on film with a man riding a bicycle with two dogs riding comfortably in the front basket. It’s a perfect mix of everyday travel and playful companionship, showing a simple journey made special by loyal furry passengers along for the ride. How do you think the dogs are feeling as they ride together in the basket? Where do you think they’re all headed on this bike trip? What do you think makes moments like this so memorable to capture?

Step back into a time with our when every purchase rang up with a satisfying clunk and a pull of the drawer. This photo shows an old-fashioned cash register, a staple of early general stores and shops. With its metal keys, mechanical buttons, and beautifully worn details, it reminds us of a slower, more hands-on era of shopping and business. What do you think it would have felt like to use this every day? How is this different from the digital checkout systems we use today? What kinds of stories do you think this cash register could tell if it could talk?

Happy everyone! This photograph captures the aftermath of a train derailment involving a Canadian Pacific railcar in 1971. While incidents like this could cause major disruptions, they also serve as reminders of the important role railways played in connecting communities, transporting goods, and supporting local economies. Historical photographs such as this help preserve moments that shaped the story of our region. Have you ever ridden on a train? Where did it take you? What do you think caused this derailment?
If you were a newspaper reporter in 1971, what headline would you give this photo?
