The Historica Foundation of Canada sponsors programs that increase awareness of, and interest in, Canadian heritage and culture. Their mandate includes school programs and media initiatives, like the "Heritage Minutes" seen on TV and in movie theatres.

The Fairs Program actively involves Canadian students, schools, businesses and community organizations in a celebration of our shared heritage and cultures.

Charles R. Bronfman: "One of our goals is to provide young people with strong roots in their culture and ties to their heritage in order for them to have confidence in their futures."

The five main objectives of the Historica Fairs are:

	to heighten awareness of our heritage
	to celebrate our cultural diversity
	to promote and publicize the variety and uniqueness of our heritage
	to create an exciting learning environment for students of history
	to encourage individuals and communities to celebrate their part in Canada's history
