FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
After a hiatus due to the pandemic, Doors Open Ontario has returned, and Toronto will be taking part later this month!
Doors Open Ontario, a program by Ontario Heritage Trust, gives people exclusive behind-the-scenes looks at some of the province’s cultural and natural wonders. You’ll be able to take a peek at spaces usually closed off to the public!
“We invite everyone to take this staycation opportunity to go out during this Doors Open Ontario season to rediscover the province’s heritage treasures first-hand,” John Ecker, Chair of the Ontario Heritage Trust, said in a press release. “Old or new, each site will deepen your understanding of Ontario’s history and showcase the breadth of our local heritage.”
