We’re putting the spotlight on our LCCHub Seasonal Photo Showcase — a place to capture and celebrate what makes our communities such special places to live, work, play, and shop.

From everyday moments to your favourite local spots, your photos help tell the story of our region and the connections that make it feel like home.

Want to take part? Here’s how:

• Share a photo that represents your community
• Tell us where it was taken and what it means to you
• Make sure it’s your photo (or you have permission to share it)
• Keep it clear, high-quality, and ready to showcase

Selected photos may be featured on our website, newsletter, and social channels, with full credit to you.

Submissions are open all season long — and you can explore and support your favourites along the way.

Let’s showcase our community, one photo at a time.
