Who we are

Ontario’s rich heritage is alive and all around us — in buildings, landscapes, objects and the stories we tell.

A closer look rewards us with knowledge, insight and sheer wonder. It’s the past made vividly present, a golden thread connecting the experiences and lessons of Ontario’s ancestors to us, and us to our descendants.

The Ontario Heritage Trust conserves and explores the heritage of Ontario — working to tell, and reflect on, our story. And we continue to explore, uncover, piece together and highlight different strands of that tale so that everyone can benefit and enjoy.

We invite you to explore this website and find your own voice in Ontario’s fascinating story.
