Living in the Peterborough-Kawartha Region

Peterborough is a vibrant city of 82,000 that offers an incredible quality of life. Although just over an hour north-east of Toronto, Peterborough is a community unto itself. Situated on the historic Trent-Severn Waterway, and surrounded by 135 lakes, outdoor options as well as urban amenities are at your doorstep.

The heart of the city is home to more than 60 restaurants including multicultural cuisine, fair trade coffee shops, and the distinctive café district. Our arts and culture community, backed by a strong grassroots scene, is renowned for events, exhibitions and performances. Peterborough is a frequent stop for touring musicians, and the summer boasts twice-weekly, open-air concerts by the lake (for free!).

Outdoor enthusiasts will find lots to do in every season. In summer, cycle or hike the extensive local trail systems or paddle the Otonabee River for the day. For the more adventur ous, the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park contains a spectacular

chain of lakes and possibilities for week-long canoe trips. In winter, cross-country ski through Jackson Creek Park in the heart of the city, or travel north to the Kawartha Nordic Ski Club for more than 50 km of trails. Or, for a magical experience, skate on the canal under the lights of the largest hydraulic lift lock in the world.

The recently built Balsillie YMCA offers numerous programs year-round, and Peterborough-Kawartha residents receive a free family membership to the YMCA. Much of the city can be accessed via bike path, and some PK residents choose to commute to work by walking or biking rather than owning a vehicle. The Peterborough Family Health Team can provide assistance to residents' partners seeking employment in the area and, eventually, help new graduates of the PK program.
