Want to be part of the conversation on the direction of tourism in Peterborough County? The
Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Peterborough
County to hold a series of Tourism Talks at various locations. These roundtable discussions are
meant to engage local businesses that are involved in, rely on, and otherwise impacted by
tourism in the County. We want to get a better understanding of the needs of local businesses
and what we can do to create a stronger, thriving local tourism sector for many years to come.
