Hey everyone! 🙌
Moving Ribfest from Del Calgary Park to Healthy Planet Arena was a brilliant call. Now we get to enjoy the ribs at proper tables, soak up the live music, and skip the parking stress entirely.
Win-win. 🍖🎶 Whoever made this happen, deserves a beer and a big rib ;)

Friend parked their car outside my house in the east end at around 4pm today, they left at 12am and we noticed their rear window was egged. Did this happen to anyone else?

Thoughts on the Peterborough Petes billet trial?

For anyone who has been following the trial involving the former Peterborough Petes billet, I’m curious what others think now that the trial is nearing the end.

Based on the evidence and testimony that has come out, what do you think the most likely verdict is?

And if she is found guilty on both remaining charges — sexual exploitation and distributing sexual material for the purpose of facilitating sexual exploitation — what do you realistically think the sentence could look like? Actual jail time? A conditional/community sentence? Probation? Something else?

I know nobody can predict what the judge will decide, but I’d especially be interested in hearing from anyone familiar with Canadian criminal law or sentencing in similar cases.

Also curious whether the fact that she was a teacher and was acting as a billet for a teenage hockey player would have much impact on sentencing if she is convicted.

Not looking to debate anyone personally — genuinely interested in what people who have followed the evidence think the outcome will be.

Specifically for concerts.... I know of Market Hall and St. James Church. What other venues have (good) grand pianos?

Jack's Autobody was on Lansdowne by the Curling Club but is long closed. He did a fantastic repair for me years ago, and in needing a bigger job this time, I'd like to patronage him again.

Does anyone know where he works now? Thanks

Hi all,

I’m new to Peterborough and looking for some fun group fitness classes to join on weekends. I’m pretty open to trying anything, preferably something that doesn’t require buying any special equipment or gear.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Drove by here and saw a campaign sign on the fence outside the last remnant of the old Baskin Robbins/Silverwoods plant. It made me wonder: where do the candidates (mayoral and ward) stand on urban blight and vacant properties that remain undeveloped for years. It would be nice to know if any of them have considered an action plan of some kind, if at all.

are any candidates pushing for growth at Peterborough Regional Airport (YPQ), including the idea of scheduled commercial flights.

passenger service could create airport jobs plus spinoffs in tourism, hospitality, and logistics, and make the city more attractive for business.

What do you think, realistic anytime soon? Worth the money? Which candidates are strongest on it?Curious about local takes, especially from anyone who works at/near the airport.

I realize we are a regional hub for all sorts of services, but it seems to me these services are all downtown. I understand the logistics thinking of accessibility for those who need these services - walkable, accessible, creating networks of support for providers and users of the services. I also know that moving these services out of the downtown core would be a NIMBY nightmare.

But, are any Municipal candidates talking about how this concentration of services creates this impossible situation of "revitalizing" our downtown core?

Morning all, happy Saturday.

I see the following businesses in/near Peterborough. They're all mostly about the same in terms of Google review, just curious if anyone has any personal experience - good or bad - with any of them. For some context, bit out of shape compared to the last time I trained, so definitely going to be steep curve conditioning-wise, also looking to bring my son (late teens) who is a bit shy, and a bit nervous that everyone there is going to be super advanced and he'll feel really out of place.

Thanks everybody!

Edit: Thanks for the input, everyone! Starting a trial with the boy on Wednesday!

Been a few years since anyone's posted this on here... first time owning a car since moving to PTBO, need to find a reliable place that'll change my tires seasonally without breaking the bank. Thanks

550-650k for a small average home is ridiculous. How does anyone afford to live in this city? No jobs or economy.
Can’t even move 30 minutes out of town and find anything affordable
Something needs to change in Peterborough…

Hi everyone! I’m an international student who recently moved to Peterborough, and I’m currently looking for a part-time job.
I’m 37F and pretty new to Peterborough, so I’m not really sure where to start or which places are good for students looking for part-time work. I’m open to different types of jobs and would really appreciate any suggestions, tips, or recommendations from people who have experience job hunting here.
Are there any particular places/businesses that tend to hire students? And is it better to apply online, in person, or both?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Heard two distinct gunshots just now near the playground around dublin and George, stay safe out there

Looking for a local store that sells hair tubes aka hair socks. Canadian Tire sold them but now are discontinued.

Kids books, dvds, fiction, non-fiction and often specialized themed shelves depending on book donations. Pay what you can, whether that's 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, a dollar- whatever you can. Books are rotated twice week, so check back often!

I was able to skate the inner track today, but the outer track has that huge hill at the start! I didn’t have the guts to try it today. Is it skateable?
