Heritage Toronto

Heritage Toronto builds a better city by bringing people together to explore Toronto’s shared past and peoples’ lived experiences. It delivers 80+ public programs annually including: walking bus and cycling tours; heritage plaques; digital programs and exhibitions; the Heritage Toronto Awards; and the Emerging Historians program. The Equity Heritage Initiative aims to create space for emerging historians representing important lived experiences in our communities to shape how we tell the stories of the city’s heritage. Through meaningful work experiences and mentorship opportunities these young professionals also helped staff identify and eliminate biased organizational policies and programmatic practices and build new relationships with diverse community organizations.
