A.Y. Jackson was inspired by Wawa's Superior landscapes and returned time and time again. May 2020 is 100 years since the Group of 7 were launched on the world's art scene...A.Y. Jackson was one of the Group's most prolific members...

We are coming up on the 100th anniversary of the first exhibition of the famous works of the Group of Seven. A.Y. Jackson was a prominent member of the Group and co-owned a cottage on Sandy Beach between 1955 and 1966. Here is a great article about Jackson which includes some Wawa content...thanks Ellen Bond!

For Group of Seven fans...check out a one of a kind tour offered only in Wawa which follows the footsteps of A.Y. Jackson right in Wawa's backyard.

The Friends of LSP led a hike to the first lookout on Awausee to enjoy the spectacular view and colours....and celebrate 100 years since members of the Group of 7 took an ACR box car and painted on the other side of the Agawa River Valley.

On the 100th anniversary year of the forming of the Group of Seven, enjoy an Air BnB experience which follows in the footsteps of A.Y. Jackson on Sandy Beach. Book your tour with local historian Johanna Rowe through Air Bnb Experiences while the warm fall days are still upon us...
