THEMES & EVENTS

About Heritage Week

Heritage Week is celebrated in communities throughout the province every year, commencing on national Heritage Day, the third Monday in February.  Every fall we publish and send out Heritage Week posters to our members and other heritage associations. In January we send a Heritage Week message and poster to local governments, business associations, libraries, MLAs and MPs.

Heritage Week themes open up a myriad of possibilites to recognize community heritage buildings, places and history, organize special events and celebrations, and forge partnerships with local business interests. As we anticipate this next theme, please contact us and tell us about the events your community or group is planning.
