Since 1974, the third Monday in February has been identified as Heritage Day in Canada. Unlike other provinces who celebrate only one day in February, we in Ontario celebrate the entire week! For Heritage Wilmot, the committee has been hosting Heritage Day events for more than 30 years and has been very proud to say that the event in Wilmot has been the longest running event in Waterloo Region.
We are pleased to host our first in-person Heritage Day since 2020! Please join Heritage Wilmot to celebrate.
