For the first time, the City of Burlington will be participating in the Doors Open Ontario event!
The City of Burlington and the Doors Open Organizing Committee are hosting the 2010 Burlington Doors Open event on Saturday June 12 and Sunday June 13, 2010.
Every year, Doors Open Ontario attracts large crowds across the province. From April to October, residents and visitors are invited to discover first-hand various communities’ heritage, natural and cultural resources. Since the program was launched in 2002, over 3 million people have visited sites participating in this exciting initiative. Festival and Events Ontario recognized Doors Open Ontario as one of the “Top 100 Ontario Festivals” in 2008 and 2009.
On June 12 and 13, residents and visitors to the City will be given the remarkable opportunity to learn about places and spaces normally not open to the general public or for which an admission fee is usually charged. The event will help our community celebrate its heritage, strengthen and encourage local partnerships and stimulate tourism and the local economy. Admission to all Doors Open events and sites is free!
When visiting any of our participating sites, don't forget to complete a Doors Open Survey. Completed surveys will be entered into for a Draw for a chance to WIN “One of 6 Overnight Accommodations” at a Burlington Hotel Association Hotel ~ including Breakfast!
