In 2021, our charity responded to the constant shifts brought on by the global pandemic with a change in perspective. We embraced adaptability, with a balance of digital and in-person programming, but focused our work on rethinking how we share heritage’s role in city-building.
Among the highlighted achievements: 40% of our plaques featured people and events from equity-deserving communities, and 60% of our tours featured new content. We introduced online events and a new headset sound system, and despite financial challenges, increased our commitment to providing paid work to emerging historians while maintaining a balanced budget.
We are proud of these achievements, and with the continued support of City Council, our supporters and partners, we will continue to explore new opportunities so that our city's heritage is accessible, relevant, and engaging to all Torontonians.
