Showcase your building at Doors Open
Great chance for community engagement and education about our built and cultural heritage
Every year in September, buildings and sites not normally open to the public welcome visitors as part of Doors Open Peterborough.
It’s a great opportunity for community engagement and education about our built and cultural heritage.
Doors Open began in France in 1984 and started in Peterborough in 2002.
This annual celebration of heritage and culture has allowed us to see inside everything from the Peterborough Lift Lock, to hydro generating stations, to Victorian mansions and modern architectural gems such as Trent University.
Doors Open Peterborough is always looking for new places that tell Peterborough’s stories through the sites and voices of the community. If you would like your building, walking tour or site to be showcased on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., email heritage@peterborough.ca or contact the City of Peterborough. The deadline for submissions is May 5.
