For almost a century, children have ridden the wooden carousel horses at Thunder Bay’s Chippewa Park. “The Carousel of Time” is a historical documentary about the restoration and preservation of a CW Parker carousel built in 1915. One of three left in North America. “Carousel of Time” is designed to both reveal the history of the carousel and the work of the artisans responsible for its restoration. The film focuses on the techniques used by the original artisans to make the animals and build the structure. It is both a celebration of art and artists, and it is a window on the past to tell the story of this significant piece of Canadian history.
