WORKERS ARTS AND HERITAGE CENTRE is a national cultural institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating the arts, culture and heritage of working people in Canada. It is the only such institution of its kind in North America, and one of only seven such sites around the world. WAHC owns and maintains the Custom House in Hamilton, Ontario, which is a National Historic Site. It is here where we base our activities on a local and national scope through traveling exhibits, research projects and on-line resources.
Some of our current and upcoming work includes:
