The 22nd annual Doors Open London (DOL) weekend will take place on September 16 and 17, 2022. The theme for Doors Open 2023 is London’s Heritage Through Cuisine—also incorporating healthy eating and the nutritional value of food, and invites participants and attendees to explore London’s culture through food. The event weekend provides a range of interested locations and activities to ensure all community members can match their curiosities and while enabling participants to embrace opportunities for public engagement. Everyone is able to explore the rich heritage of the Forest City and have an inside look at London’s many museums, heritage sites, and community businesses.

The City of London is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek (AUh-nish-in-ah-bek), Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-no-show-nee), Lūnaapéewak (Len-ah-pay-wuk) and Attawandaron (Add-a-won-da-run). We honour and respect the history, languages and culture of the diverse Indigenous people who call this territory home. The City of London is currently home to many First Nations, Metis and Inuit people today. As representatives of the people of the City of London, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.
