Be excited as the days come near to the Perth Regional Heritage Fair 2011. The heritage fair is an annual program that persuades students to discover the wonderful heritage of Canada in a hands-on learning surrounding. The students who attend will be using the medium of their preference to tell tales about the heroes, legends, milestones, and the many achievements of Canada. After the program, the students are encouraged to present their results at school, regional, provincial and eventually, national levels.

When it began in the year 1993, the heritage fair programs have grown to have over 200,000 students from all over Canada every year. However, the Regional Heritage Fair won’t be possible without the help and support of the community partners and the sponsors. The Ontario Power Generation, Perth Stamp Club, John & Ruth, Gittens, Civitan Club of Perth, Kiwanis Club of Perth, Mr & Mrs David Taylor and Heritage Management are just some of the most prominent sponsors of the event who have been supporting the heritage fair ever since.

The heritage fair also relies on a huge number of volunteers who help with setting up, registering the participants, judging the projects, providing the activities for the students and offer all the necessary support to make the event successful. These event is the most vibrant community celebration where enthusiasts of local and historical museums and culture get together to offer different exhibits, demonstrations, food, and entertainment and the best thing about regional heritage fairs is that the students are encouraged to interpret their projects by sharing their stories with the community.

It’s almost near! Clear your schedules and be at 13 Victoria St, Perth ON K7H 2H3 on the 28th of April 2011, Thursday. Share stories, meet new friends, and learn new things and more. Come and see the Perth Regional Heritage Fair 2011.
