Doors Open Peterborough Invites Community For Site Submissions

Annual event Doors Open Peterborough is introducing a new approach this year by inviting the Peterborough community to ‘submit a site’ to have their property be considered for inclusion in this year’s Doors Open Peterborough program announced on Tuesday.

This annual event provides free access to many city heritage and cultural landmarks that are not usually open to the public to be held on Sept. 14.

Stewart Hamilton, Chair of the Peterborough Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee and Chair of the Doors Open Peterborough organizing committee, hopes this new approach will generate new energy and excitement to the program and foster a sense of inclusivity and accessibility.

“To elaborate on our ongoing theme ‘Every Door Has a Story’, we’re hoping to receive submissions of sites not previously featured on Doors Open Peterborough,” he said. “We’re pleased to be offering this opportunity to showcase Peterborough’s many community stories through new places, tours and events not seen before.”

Doors Open Peterborough is funded by the Peterborough Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee and is part of Doors Open Ontario which is coordinated by the Ontario Heritage Trust.
