Since 2003, Doors Open Peterborough has invited the public to experience heritage sites across the city for free, many of which are not normally open to the public. As it is also National Youth Week we felt opening P.C.V.S. was a great fit as one of the oldest schools in the country. P.C.V.S. is currently offering alternative & continuing education for youth and adults. 

Time: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

P.C.V.S is located at 201 McDonnel St. 

Drop in to check our your Downtown Youth Space as well which is located on the bottom level at P.C.V.S. and will be open 12-4 p.m.
