The Electric City Culture Council (EC3) is an independent, arm’s length, not-for-profit corporation mandated by the City of Peterborough to champion the development of the arts, culture and heritage (ACH) community for the people of Peterborough, and the surrounding region.

Our primary purpose: build capacity across the sector by developing and delivering relevant, effective programs and services that support and encourage individual artists (at all levels and in all disciplines), other cultural/heritage professionals and arts/heritage organizations to advance their practice, acquire new skills and knowledge, and generate additional opportunities for artists to create and present work. We deliver programs and services that enhance public access to the arts and to heritage experiences.
