“March Break is the perfect time to get out and enjoy a little adventure close to home,” said Community Services co-Chairs Councillors Alex Bierk and Lesley Parnell.  “With free skating opportunities, swimming and drop-in programs, and engaging activities across the city, there are plenty of ways for residents to stay active and enjoy time together right here in Peterborough.” 

Several free public skates are taking place at the Miskin Law Community Complex.

There is free drop-in swimming on Sunday at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Other drop-in swimming and sports sessions take place at the Wellness Centre throughout the week. 

Residents can pop by the Peterborough Museum and Archives to check out the Carnivorous Dinosaurs exhibit and participate in dino-themed activities taking place throughout the week.  

The Big History Show, a puppet show with Glen Caradus, takes place at the PMA on March 22 at 2 p.m.
