<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21608/20130313/aerial-photos-reveal-ontario-communities-flooded-50-years</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 13, 2013) It&apos;s been more than 50 years since Inundation Day — July 1, 1958, when ten Ontario communities along the St. Lawrence were purposefully flooded and 6,500 people relocated so the St. Lawrence Seaway could come into being.    This spring, an Ottawa photographer will be collecting stories about the so-called &quot;sunken villages&quot; - that handful of Canadian villages have been hidden under the St. Lawrence Seaway for over 50 years.Todd Moe talks with Ottawa aerial photographer Louis Helbig about his &quot;Sunken Villages&quot; project of photos of the lost communities between Cornwall and Prescott, Ontario.   For the last few years, Helbig has arranged exhibitions of his birds-eye-view of the underwater remnants of houses and streets.  Now, he&apos;s looking for stories and family histories to accompany the photos.
