OHFA - AFPO

The purpose of the Ontario Provincial Heritage Fair is to bring together students from grades 4 to 10
(representing the Regional fairs held in Ontario) for a non-competitive, interactive history camp that includes
a public showcase to promote awareness of Ontario and Canadian history and heritage. 
In that showcase students share the excellent research projects that they have brought with them.

Chosen students complete a research project using primary and secondary sources for sharing with their
classmates and peers a their school and then at a Regional Fair.  Each Regional Fair chooses students and
projects to attend the Provincial Fair.  A base number of places is allotted to each site and extra spaces are
allocated specifically for the inclusion of First Nations, French First Language and non-traditional students.

Regional Fair committees are cognisant of the inclusive nature of the Fairs program and their participant choices
reflect the multicultural makeup of their communities.  The lack of economic barriers that user fees would impose,
allows sites to choose their representatives regardless of the families' economic situations.

The Provincial Fair is not a competition.  Instead, it is a celebration of Ontario and Canadian heritage.
At the showcase, students share the many fascinating stories of their families, communities, province and
country with their peers, special guests and the public.
