Provincial Heritage Fair

The Provincial Heritage Fair is a grand celebration of Canada's heritage, in the form of student history projects. Students in grades 5 to 9 have an opportunity to explore the history of their families, their communities, their province, their country.

This year's Provincial Heritage Fair will be held on Thursday, May 10 2012 at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.

The Provincial Heritage Fair is organized by the Department of Tourism and Culture, with representatives from the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation, and Community Museums Association of PEI.
