Create the Culture You Want

Arts & Culture Community Consultations

Help shape the future of arts and culture in Peterborough

The City of Peterborough’s Cultural Services Division is launching a new series of community consultations to hear directly from the people who make our city vibrant - artists, cultural workers, organizations, and residents who care about creativity and connection.

We’re asking:
What do you need to thrive? What’s missing? How can the City better support you?

As a newly formed Division, this is also our chance to introduce ourselves and connect with you. We’re here to build strong, collaborative relationships and ensure we’re responding to what matters most.

This consultation marks the starting point for Peterborough’s upcoming Municipal Cultural Plan - a guiding document that will shape the City’s investment in arts, culture, and heritage over the next decade. Your input will help inform this plan as we finalize the selection of a consultant later this year.
