State of Heritage
Heritage Toronto produces the 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.

Community voices will shape our city’s heritage and its future.
If the heritage sector were to put community perspectives first, what kind of city could Toronto be five years from now? Our new report, State of Heritage 2025: From Community Voices to Action, tackles this question.
Over the past two years, an Advisory Task Force composed of members of equity-deserving communities undertook research, and engaged communities to rethink the role of heritage in city-building. The result? A new vision for 2030, where Indigenous histories are embedded in our city’s identity, cultural neighbourhoods are protected, and communities have the power to shape their own heritage stories.
With 15 key recommendations, this report challenges us to take action—whether through decolonizing heritage practices, improving funding for equity-deserving groups, or fostering deeper collaboration across sectors.
