Muskoka Past and Still Present - a short film by Ed Boutilier

I was asked to make a presentation for the Canadian Raceboat Hall of Fame, charity gala dinner.. Rather than present a PowerPoint I decided to feature some of my photos and videos in a short movie that runs just over 5 mins long. Some of you will know of my explorations of Muskoka’s hidden corners — often from the seat of my Seadoo with camera in hand. For over two decades, I have documented the Big Three — Lakes Muskoka, Rosseau, and Joseph — uncovering scenes and stories that might otherwise be lost to time. This 5-minute journey features 13 historic and iconic locations, from grand boathouses to beautiful boats and landscapes. It’s a tribute to the places that shaped Muskoka — and continue to inspire awe today.
