About Heritage Fairs

A heritage fair is a showcase of history projects created by students. Students create their projects on some aspect of Canadian history and present their projects to other students, adults and the general public.

Fairs can be small, like a classroom-based fair or large like a school-based fair. There are also city or regional fairs and in British Columbia there is a Provincial Heritage Fair. In the past, there were Canada-wide National Heritage Fairs. Canada’s National History Society is exploring the possibility of recreating the National Heritage Fair program.
