2024 recipients of the Lieutenant Governor's Ontario Heritage Awards
“These recipients include dedicated lifelong volunteers, innovative projects blazing new trails, and young people just beginning to make their marks. Each represents the hard work of heritage. Together, they embody some of the best and boldest approaches to heritage work in Ontario today.” — John Ecker, Chair, Board of Directors, Ontario Heritage Trust
The Lieutenant Governor’s Ontario Heritage Awards honour the people who uphold the integrity of the heritage sector, and the achievements born from their dedication. From restoration projects and digital resources to exhibitions and bodies of work, Ontario’s heritage comprises the hard work of volunteers, professionals and organizations that conserve and celebrate the stories of our communities for the present and for future generations.
