About

What We Do

Heritage Toronto builds a better city by bringing people together to explore Toronto’s shared past and peoples’ lived experiences. We deliver 80+ public programs annually including tours, plaques, digital programs and exhibitions, the Heritage Toronto Awards, the Emerging Historians program and, most recently, the Equity Heritage Initiative.

State of Heritage Report

Every four years or so, we produce a State of Heritage Report to inform the public of issues and trends in the heritage sector, and to advise decision-makers on opportunities for improvement.
