About Peterborough
The town
Peterborough is a city of 83,651 people (2021) on the Otonabee River, covering about 65 km². It lies inside Peterborough County but is a separated municipality that governs itself. Lock 21 of the Trent-Severn Waterway, the Peterborough Lift Lock, opened in 1904; it raises boats 19.8 m and is a National Historic Site. The Canadian Canoe Museum, on Little Lake, keeps more than 600 paddled craft, and Trent University's 1,400-acre campus sits on the river. Fleming College is also in the city. Peterborough Regional Health Centre runs the area's only emergency department, open 24 hours, and is a designated trauma centre. Inside the city, the City sets zoning and handles building permits.
Around it
Most rural land near the city is in Peterborough County's townships, each with its own zoning by-law; severances go through the County's Land Division office. Selwyn borders the city and the City of Kawartha Lakes and has water on three sides. Douro-Dummer runs along the city's eastern edge and includes Warsaw Caves Conservation Area. Otonabee-South Monaghan reaches the north shore of Rice Lake, about 15 minutes away. In Cavan Monaghan, about 20 km southwest and crossed by Highway 115, the Greenbelt Plan and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan both apply. The city and these four townships lie wholly or partly in the Otonabee Region watershed, where work near water or wetlands needs an Otonabee Conservation permit. Toronto is about 140 km away. Peterborough Airport has charters but no scheduled passenger flights.
