Who we are
We are a group of amateur photographers from Grimsby and Niagara West, getting together to share experiences, questions and know-how in a non-competitive environment.
Group History
Started in June 2016, The Grimsby Photo Group was at first a timid gathering of photo amateurs who were willing to share their love of photography. As time went by, attendance grew and the Group could no longer meet in tight quarters. A larger venue was found and meetings were held there until the end of 2017.
In 2018, the Group secured a new meeting place: Grimsby Town Hall Council Chambers.
In 2023, the Group will meet via Zoom for the Winter Months and then move to in-person meetings at various locations within the town of Grimsby.
