About the Heritage Toronto Awards & William Kilbourn Memorial Lecture
The Heritage Toronto Awards celebrate outstanding contributions by individuals and community organizations, as well as industry professionals and associations, in promoting and conserving Toronto’s history and heritage landmarks. The program was introduced in 1974 to recognize both volunteer and professional individuals, groups or organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the conservation and promotion of Toronto’s heritage.
The public will be invited to submit nominations in four award categories:
1. The William Greer Architectural Conservation and Craftsmanship Award
2. Book Award
3. Media Award
4. Community Heritage Award
Independent juries review the nominations and recommend the award recipients. In each category (except the Community Heritage Award, which is a cash prize) there are two possible levels of award: Award of Excellence (the highest) and Award of Merit. Awards are also presented in two additional categories: the Heritage Toronto Special Achievement Award, and the Members’ Choice.
