Doors Open Ontario 2018

Everyone can be a VIP gaining access to places, many not normally open to the public, free of charge in 35 towns and cities from April 21 to October 13, 2018. Toronto Doors Open happens May 26-27 and is part of the Ontario Heritage Trust event taking place across the province. Doors Open is in the top 100 Festivals and Events in Ontario and receives funding from Celebrate Ontario program and Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund.

You can visit historic sites, natural spaces, cultural sites and architectural treasures across Ontario. Since starting in 2002 over 7.3 million people have visited the sites available as part of the program. Toronto Doors Open only has 14 sites listed at this time and I don't see the unused TTC subway station listed at this point - one place I haven't seen yet. The full list of Toronto locations will be available in early May. While entrance to the facility is usually free, the cost for parking will probably apply so check out the website to avoid surprises.

"Doors Open Ontario 2018 will feature more than 800 sites, such as historic homes, fire stations, hiking trails, courthouses, schoolhouses, gardens, places of worship and countless others. Many sites are also offering special tours, lectures, exhibits and performances, to better explore the stories inside. n 2018, the Ontario Heritage Trust is exploring the theme of 100 years of women's rights and suffrage, looking back to the end of the First World War – a time that saw great change for women in our society. Throughout the year, the Trust will be sharing stories about Ontario's trailblazing women and the enduring fight for equality. Doors Open Ontario will provide an opportunity to visit interesting sites that relate to this chapter in our history."
