Share your knowledge of local history at Heritage Hour
Share your expertise and deepen the community’s understanding of the city’s diverse heritage by applying to speak at Heritage Hour. The City of Kingston is seeking knowledgeable speakers with unique insights into Kingston’s many histories, cultures and traditions for the quarterly speaker series.
"We’re excited to expand Heritage Hour speaking opportunities through an open application to include even more community voices," says Melanie Banks, Manager, Heritage Programming. “The previous speakers have showcased many facets of Kingston’s history, and we look forward to creating space for more stories to be shared.”
Selected speakers will have one hour to present to an engaged audience on topics that highlight Kingston's physical and living heritage. Speakers are invited to share information in a variety of formats including lectures, workshops and interactive presentations.
Since 2023, Heritage Hour has featured speakers from across the community to speak about Kingston’s diverse heritage resources. A playlist of previous Heritage Hour events can be found on the City of Kingston YouTube channel.
