Heritage Fair


Every year the Simcoe County Museum hosts the Simcoe County Heritage Fair. This fair represents schools from all over Simcoe County. This year more than 400 students participated at the school level, and the highest-ranked projects will be exhibited at this regional fair. Students that come to the fair will showcase their projects on Canadian heritage and culture.

​The Simcoe County Heritage Fair will feature select Grade 4-8 students from participating schools across Simcoe County. Students will present research projects on topics in Canadian history and heritage. Projects will be evaluated by a panel of judges and select students will proceed to a regional-level fair for the chance to win one of several awards offered by the OHFA. The Simcoe County Heritage Fair is a great opportunity to recognize the hard work of local elementary-school students.
