The Ontario Heritage Fairs season is in progress. Congratulations to this year’s pilot Regional Fairs – Peel Pilot Regional Fair and Biidaaban Pilot Regional Fair who have already held extremely successful events. The majority of our Regional Fairs are happening the last week of April and the first two weeks of May.
The OHFA Board of Directors extends our best wishes to all of the participants of the 2026 Fairs – the teachers, the volunteers, the fair committees, the coordinators who make history and heritage ‘come alive’ for our Ontario students. Best wishes for your upcoming Regional Fairs!
Patricia DeGuire, Chief Commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, has sent this inspiring message for all participants.
MESSAGE FROM THE OHFA BOARD
| Although we face numerous obstacles this year, by working together we can face them head-on and succeed. Newsletters this year will share creative ideas and resources, plus important dates that will help all of us deal with our new reality. Fairs will be encouraged to share their ideas and tips to keep Ontario students engaged in learning about the diverse and exciting history and heritage of our communities, province, and nation. |
| The Heritage Fairs Program is a multimedia initiative developed to increase public awareness and interest in Canadian history. The Ontario Heritage Fairs Association offers students the opportunity to explore the many aspects of their Canadian heritage in a dynamic learning environment and to present the results of their efforts in either French or English in a public exhibition. The program is non-competitive in nature, with an emphasis on the importance of the learning process and the exchange of ideas. | Le programme des Fêtes du patrimoine est une initiative d’apprentissage multi-media dans le but de stimuler et d’accroître l’intérêt du public envers l’Histoire du Canada. L’Association des Fêtes du patrimoine de l’Ontario offre aux élèves l’occasion d’explorer les divers aspects de leur patrimoine canadien dans un environnement dynamique et de présenter leurs travaux, dans une des deux langues officielles, lors d’une exposition à laquelle le public est invité. Le programme est non-compétitif de nature et se veut de souligner l’importance du processus d’apprentissage et de favoriser l’échange d’idées. |
