The Ontario Heritage Trust would like toacknowledge the special contribution made by Yves Frenette in preparing this issue of Heritage Matters. M 2-3 A message from the Chairman: Ontario's Quiet Revolution The role of French-speaking people in shaping the history and life of this province reaches back to theearly 17th century, when explorers and missionaries embarked on official journeys of reconnaissance and faith. By the time Upper Canada wascreated in 1791, the relationship of French-speaking people to the province waswell established, and recognized in some of its earliest legislation. In fact, a resolution acknowledging French-language rights in Upper Canada was adoptedat Newark as early asJune 1793. This view of the importance of language to the French-speaking population - and to theidentity of the province as a whole - wassharedbythose creating a pre-Confederation educational framework forthe province. Indeed, Dr. Egerton Ryerson, the Chief Superintendent of Education inthe province formorethan 30 years, took the view that French was, as well as English, one of the recognized languages of the province, and that children could therefore be taughtineither language in its public schools. In the almost 100 years, however, from Confederation until Ontario'sown Quiet Revolution in the 1960s, French- speaking people in theprovince were faced with heavy and real pressures toassimilate, stemming in large part from anassumption that assimilation was both desirable and possible. This assumption significantly influenced the thinking ofvirtually every provincial administration from thetime ofConfederation andwassupported by a broader movement in English Canada intended torestrict oreliminate altogether theuse ofFrench language. Even the passionate opposition of SirJohn A. Macdonald, who denounced the movement in the House of Commons in 1890, did little to quell its momentum. In spite of legislative andotherefforts to eliminate theuse of French language in theprovince, the French fact would not go away. This reality was acknowledged by modest gains ineducation during the period between the First and SecondWorld Warsthat culminated inthe 1960sduringa periodof substantive reform. Indeed, the 1960s sawnumerous and profound reforms and innovations - a revolution in regard to the position of Ontario's francophone citizens andthe rights andopportunities available to them, particularly in theareas of education and language. The passing of French language school legislation in 1969 wasaccompanied bya growing recognition of the part played in the history and life of the province bythe Franco-Ontarian community. Premier John Robarts acknowledged and supported this fact when he stated, "Men and womenof French origin have played a significant role in the development of Ontario formorethan threecenturies ... This role continues today through the Franco- Ontarian community ... Itsstrength, vitality, accomplishments and potentialare immense. Ontario- indeed allof Canada - isfar the richer and stronger for the presence of these French-speaking residents." Since the 1960s, we have witnessed further legislative reforms, thestrengthening of theFranco-Ontarian identity through education at all levels, literature and thearts, and thecreation of cultural symbols. This strengthening of identity hasenhanced individual rights andeducational and cultural opportunities forall Ontarians. As we embark on the second decadeof the 21st century, we are witnessing an ongoing evolution infrancophone Ontario thatis a significant partof the province's changing cultural, social and linguistic landscape, resulting in a more diverse community. This change presents exciting opportunities, aswell as newchallenges, bothofwhich will inform and enrich our understandingof the French experiencein Ontario. \ ^L*^><v>.< Thomas H.B.

Executive Summary Delivering the Mandate across Ontario The current position of the Trust builds upon several years of thoughtful examination of the agency’s legislated mandate, how and for whom it is delivered, and why it matters to Ontarians. In 2012 the Trust completed an extensive sustainability review, with a focus on core mandate and an analysis of all revenue and expenditures, as a measure to streamlining expenditures and diversifying the revenue base. The result for the agency was a balanced budget in 2016 and for subsequent years. In 2015 MTCS completed a Mandate Review that confirmed the Trust as a valuable resource in heritage matters, with strong professional and technical knowledge, that is recognized as a centre of specialized expertise in heritage that is not offered elsewhere in the provincial government. Both the Trust and MTCS concluded reviews of the operating model for the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres and the Trust’s plan for the ongoing operation of the EWG was affirmed by the Ministry in 2018.
