Bill 80 2003

An Act to proclaim

Archives Awareness Week

Preamble

Ontario has a rich and colourful recorded history. Archives play an

essential role in the preservation and use of that history. By acquiring,

preserving and making available documentary materials from all aspects of

society, archives promote the heritage of Ontario and safeguard the

collective memory and rights of its citizens.

Archives ensure a community legacy by preserving evidence of past

thoughts, deeds and actions. Archives provide accountability through

assurances of access to records of governments of all levels. Archives foster

a deeper collective understanding of local history through the availability

of and research into local archival records. Archives can also be used as an

educational resource for students of all levels.

The Archives Association of Ontario represents a wide array of

institutions, individuals and users of archives including those located in

schools, churches, governments, cultural organizations, hospitals, First

Nations and private corporations.

Given the important role that archives play on behalf of the citizens of

Ontario, present and future, it is fitting that the week beginning on the

first Monday in April in each year is proclaimed as Archives Awareness

Week.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the

Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Archives Awareness Week

1. The week beginning on the first Monday in

April in each year is proclaimed as Archives Awareness Week.

Commencement
