An exhibition that celebrates the life, work and artistry of Canadian figure skating legend Toller Cranston opens this weekend in northeastern Ontario.
The Olympic athlete grew up in Kirkland Lake.
He died in 2015 at the age of 65.
The exhibition of Cranston's famous paintings, skating costumes, and memorabilia can be seen at the Kirkland Lake Museum of Northern History and at the Temiskaming Art Gallery, which is roughly an hour's drive from Kirkland Lake.
Cesar Forero [a figure skater originally from Colombia] has organized the Toller Cranston retrospective. Forero is with the Contemporary Art Committee of Kirkland Lake.
He says that some of the exhibition highlights include one of the very last costumes Cranston competed in, some of his later paintings and photos of him and his sister growing up in Kirkland Lake.
The exhibition runs until April 17 at the Temiskaming Art Gallery and until May 4 at the Kirkland Lake Museum of Northern History.
