Welcome to the The Canton of Petrea Thule
Petrea Thule is the branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism for Central Ontario and the Kawartha Highlands and is based in Peterborough, Ontario. We are located in the Barony of Septentria, in the Kingdom of Ealdormere.
The SCA is an international non-profit educational organization dedicated to researching and re-creating pre-17th-century European history. Upon these pages you will find information about the SCA, Life in the Current Middle Ages, and about what we do. Medieval combat, archery, clothing, dancing, feasting, and so much more awaits you!
What is the Society of Creative Anachronism? Quite simply, it's lots of things! One of the best ways to find out what we do is to come out to our meetings or practices! The meetings are a great way to find out what is going on in the Canton and how, if you like, can get involved with it. You don't need to be a member to come out either, everyone is welcome. Our practices, for archery and our martial activities (of heavy armoured and rapier combat) are fun for the whole family too.

News and Activities
The Canton meetings are on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday each month starting at 7:30pm in Wallis Hall at the downtown Traill College campus of Trent University. We can be in either Room 102 or 128, but we'll have lots of signs up to point the way. The meetings run from 7:30pm through 9:30pm and are casual and informal. Memberships (or funny medieval clothing!) are not needed, just come out and spend some time with us!
Archery practice will be on Sundays at the ranges at the Peterborough Fish & Game Association. We will be there from 1:00pm to approximately 6:00pm with lots of practice time and shooting on the indoor 20-yard range if it rains. Armoured combat and rapier combat practices will be held following the archery tournaments as well, marshals permitting. Check our Calendar for more details as our hosts, the Peterborough Fish and Game Club, often have the fields booked for their own tournaments over the summer.
