In recent years the Friends of Fort York has grown significantly and is now one of the largest heritage organizations in Toronto. Now is the time to ensure that the potential of the Friends is translated into dynamically designed exhibits, exciting programming and improved facilities that bring new life to Fort York.

The Friends of Fort York has responsibility for both the funding and operation of the Fort York Guard, including the the Fort York Drums and the Squad. The Squad and the Drums provide an opportunity for students from age 11 up to the university level to live their history at Fort York.

The Friends fundraising activity will provide new dramatic and interactive historical exhibits as the Fort continues to expand.
