Intangible cultural heritage is an elusive but fascinating topic – it includes oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe and the knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts. Intangible heritage is important in maintaining the diversity of our communities and building intercultural dialogue and understanding – and its significance is increasingly being recognized.
The Ontario Heritage Trust serves as the heritage trustee and steward for the people of Ontario. In this capacity, it conserves provincially significant cultural and natural heritage, interprets Ontario's history, educates Ontarians and celebrates the province's diversity. In 2017, the Trust is celebrating 50 years of service to Ontarians.
