Heritage Toronto builds a better city by bringing people together to explore Toronto’s shared past and peoples’ lived experiences.

Toronto is strengthened by its diverse communities and set apart by its unique stories and spaces. We believe that embracing the diversity of its people, places, and events is essential to building a livable, safe, and prosperous city.

Through our programs, including tours, plaques, the Heritage Toronto Awards, and digital stories and exhibits, we engage the public to reflect on the past—both to make sense of our present and to inform our future. 

Heritage Toronto provides accessible programming based in community outreach that empowers and bridges Toronto’s diverse communities. Through a donation, you can add your voice to the chorus of people that believe all of Toronto’s stories should be told and that its built heritage should be preserved.
