City of Peterborough Launches Cultural Services Community Consultations

Peterborough, ON – The City of Peterborough invites artists, cultural workers and community members to help shape the future of arts and culture in Peterborough. 

This initiative includes three in-person open houses and an online survey running from Friday, August 8, to Monday, August 25, 2025.  

The survey can be found at connectptbo.ca/cultural-plan. 

Open houses will feature interactive, drop-in activities designed to spark conversation about how the City can better support a vibrant, inclusive and accessible cultural sector. 

This consultation also marks the starting point for Peterborough’s new Municipal Cultural Plan, a 10-year strategic roadmap that will guide the City’s investment in arts, culture and heritage. Feedback from the open houses and survey will help inform the Cultural Plan.
