Current exhibitions

• The Oshawa Museum provides a "Whimsical Look at Our History" with paintings by Eric Sangwine from their archival collection. Eric Sangwine is a graduate of Simon Fraser University (M.A.), the University of Toronto (M.L.S.) and the Ontario College of Art, now OCAD University. In his final year at OCA, Eric was awarded the David L. Stevenson Scholarship in Drawing and Painting.

  Pieces created by Eric can be found in the collections of the University of Toronto, Simon Fraser University and the Stephen Leacock Museum National Historic Site. For many years, a piece by Eric hung in the office of the Historian Emeritus at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The art of Eric has also been profiled on TVO.

  Locally, samples of his work can be found at Oshawa City Hall, the Civic Recreation Complex, the Oshawa Public Library (where Eric once worked as a Librarian) and the Clarington Public Library.

• The Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame is proud to celebrate the Oshawa Green Gaels dynasty of the 1960's. This Junior Lacrosse team won seven consecutive All Canadian Minto Cup Championships; a record unparalleled in sports, especially in Junior where players only compete for a few years in their teens.
