Peterborough (Ontario) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
city in Ontario, Canada
About Peterborough (Ontario)
Considering that Peterborough sits between two major Canadian cities (TorontoandOttawa), it has managed to maintain a small-town friendly feel to it. By many, Peterborough is considered a retirement community; however, during the school year there is a thriving domestic and international student population. With its relaxed atmosphere and laid-back attitude, Peterborough allows the days to go by unnoticed. There is a big arts community in the city, meaning Peterborough is the best place in Central and Southern Ontario to create a band, become an artist, or showcase your talent. As of 2020, Peterborough is going through an opioid and housing crisis.
