BC Heritage Fairs

A Heritage Fair is a nation-wide, educational initiative that encourages the exploration of Canadian heritage in a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. Fairs bring together schools, communities and more than 200,000 students, gr. 4-10, across Canada each year.

From music to cutting-edge media, Canadian youth use the medium of their choice to tell stories about Canadian heroes, contributions, sacrifices and tragedies. Stories are then presented at public exhibitions in more than 80 communities across the country.
