Upcoming Film Notification - Tuesday, October 27, 2020
We are pleased to be welcoming our friends from Murdoch Mysteries back to Cambridge to shoot scenes for their upcoming 14th season! They will be filming in two distinct areas of the city, Brant Road North in Galt and Argyle Street North in Preston. This Preston location is exciting as it will be tranformed into a Police Station exterior, and we are hopeful that this will become a recurring location for the series. Most importantly however, our Preston BIA is eagerly anticipating their first film project in recent history, which is definitely something to celebrate!
Hero locations:
- Brant Rd N between Wentworth and Salisbury Avenues (7:00am to 1:00pm)

Anticipated Impacts:
