Thomas H.B. Symons, Chairman of the Ontario Heritage Trust says, "Ontario artists interpret the past, present and future of our province in ways that encourage us to view our shared stories from different perspectives. From the Group of Seven and the First Nations' Woodland School art movement to contemporary visual art, the talent and creativity that Ontarians possess is extraordinary. I invite all Ontarians to become inspired during Heritage Week by exploring the exciting creative culture in their communities."
