COMMUNITY

CHE Academy is based out of Peterborough, ON, located just approximately 125km northeast of Toronto. Peterborough is located along the Otonabee River and serves as a regional hub for the Kawarthas. Home to Trent University and Fleming College, Peterborough blends small-city charm with access to nature and a vibrant arts scene.

Peterborough has a strong history in athletics, most notably serving as the home to the Peterborough Petes of the OHL. The Petes are a source of pride for the city, having won numerous Championships throughout their history, most recently winning the J. Ross Robertson Cup 2023. Peterborough also serves as the home to the Jr Petes, Ice Kats, and PHA organizations, all of whom routinely compete amongst the top teams in Ontario.

CHE Academy students will be placed with billet families who have been approved through a thorough screening process in partnership with MLI Homestay, ensuring they are provided safe homes during their time in Peterborough.
