The Heritage Division's administrative functions, heritage programs and services, and museum operations are under the leadership of the Executive Director, who reports to the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Heritage.
In addition to its dedicated staff, the Division values the expertise and time contributed by many volunteers, research associates, and former Curators, "Curators Emeritae", who complete research, facilitate education classes, present programs, provide program support, and assist the operation of Heritage Division in many other ways.
The Heritage Division functions horizontally. Therefore, its sections, each headed by a Director, are mutually dependent, and work in an integrated manner to carry out the work of the Division.
