Programs
Our programs engage the public to reflect on the past—both to make sense of our present and to inform our future.
Tours
Our tours bring people together. Join us as we travel hundreds of kilometres to experience the city—up close and on the streets—through parks, to well-known landmarks, and in the many neighbourhoods that make up Toronto.
Plaques
Our plaques educate and enlighten the public about the important people, places, and events from Toronto’s past. Started in 1969, our program is responsible for more than 900 plaques across the city.
Heritage Toronto Awards
The Heritage Toronto Awards is the city’s premiere heritage event and our major fundraiser of the year. Join us in celebrating outstanding accomplishments in the field and to learn about exciting new opportunities and projects.
Equity Heritage Initiative
The Equity Heritage Initiative provides mentorship and paid work to emerging historians from equity-deserving communities, while supporting new programming and community partnerships.
