We envisage a cohesive Ontario in which citizens have an appreciation of our shared histories, access to the products of our diverse heritage and the tools to eradicate stereotyping and prejudicefrom our places of learning and work. We are committed to bringing to a wide public audience the positive aspects of living in a multi-ethnic province. Specifically, we operate a museum; produce publications; create exhibits; facilitate research; and assist organizations. We also offer a range of services for schools, individuals, communities and special interest groups including workshops; research assistance; project management; exhibit design; technical advice; and teaching guides.
