Want to have Doors Open in your community?

Doors Open is a unique opportunity for citizens and visitors to celebrate our heritage through the exploration of some of our hidden historical, architectural and cultural gems. The program has created access, awareness and excitement about heritage, and has proven appeal in the realm of heritage tourism.

Doors Open events are essentially community-wide open house events which provide the public access to historically or culturally significant or interesting properties, free of charge, within a given time frame. The places and spaces included in such events may be those which normally charge fees, or are not usually open to or promoted to the public. Doors Open may involve one community, or a cluster of communities cooperating to organize an event.
