Heritage Toronto has many different sponsorship opportunities, with an array of benefits to offer. Some of the programming and events that are available are:

Heritage Toronto Walks
From April to October, thousands of people attend our free neighbourhood walking tours. Covering all areas of the city, Heritage Toronto Walks tell the stories behind the people, landscapes and historic buildings that bring Toronto’s neighbourhoods to life.

The Heritage Toronto Awards and the William Kilbourn Memorial Lecture
The annual Heritage Toronto Awards celebrate outstanding contributions - by professionals and volunteers - in the promotion and conservation of Toronto’s history and heritage landmarks. Nominees are brought forward by the public, and then juried by independent, expert panels. Award recipients are announced at one of Toronto’s most anticipated heritage events.

The William Kilbourn Memorial Lecture is held in conjunction with the Awards presentation. The lecture was introduced in 1996 to honour William Kilbourn’s legacy and his commitment to Toronto as a viable, liveable city that honours its past and plans for its future. Past speakers include David Crombie, Adrienne Clarkson, Bruce Kuwabara and David Mirvish - inspiring Torontonians in their own right.

Walking Tour Podcasts
Podcasts are a new and growing medium for sharing audio and visual information online. Heritage Toronto will be developing a series of self-guided audio walking tours that will be available for download as podcasts from our website onto ipods and other mp3 players. This medium offers a new opportunity to reach people who may not be able to attend our walking tours, and an opportunity to share information where logistics make it difficult to organize live tours (i.e. a busy downtown area where safety and noise may be an issue or in the suburban parts of Toronto where tours need to be conducted by car or transit).

Heritage Toronto Website - Renewal Project
In 2007, Heritage Toronto acknowledged the necessity to expand and revamp its website in order to meet our community's needs more effectively. It is our goal to become the "go to" place for heritage issues in the City. Our new website will be a key tool to enhance our responsiveness, to increase public accessibility, to connect with and support the heritage community and to allow us to embrace a leadership role in advocating on heritage issues.

Heritage Toronto is grateful for the support from its sponsors…together we are telling Toronto’s Stories!
