Perspectives on Toronto's Past and Present

Above and behind is a screen projection with the words 45th Annual Heritage Toronto Awards. On the floor of the auditorium are groups of people sitting at round tables.
Since 1974, the Heritage Toronto Awards has brought together the movers and shakers in Toronto’s heritage sector. Celebrating individuals, organizations and the projects they create, the Awards are a chance to show the positive impacts heritage has on our city’s diverse communities.
