Doors Open Peterborough is a city-wide event in which private and public heritage buildings open their doors (either physically or digitally) to the public for viewing free of charge. Funding for the program is approved by the Peterborough Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (PACAC).

Peterborough’s event is coordinated by the City of Peterborough as part of Doors Open Ontario in partnership with the Ontario Heritage Trust. The event is a great opportunity for community engagement and education about the City’s built heritage.

As a committee member, individuals will gain valuable skills and experience. Since meetings are held virtually, reliable access to a telephone or computer with an internet connection is essential.

To apply, interested individuals can fill out the volunteer application form online at www.peterborough.ca/heritageevents to indicate your specific skill set and interests. Applicants who cannot access the online application are asked to please call 705-742-7777 ext. 1491 for a hard copy of the form. The deadline for applications is March 4 at 4:30 p.m.

All volunteers must be at least 16 years of age. Applicants will be contacted individually for a short interview and information session.

In accordance with the City of Peterborough - COVID-19 Workplace Vaccination Policy, all volunteers are required to provide proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to their beginning their volunteer role.
