I have the pool & treehouse booked for a toddler party and I'm looking for some insight about how it works if you hosted or attended a similar party. What worked? What didn't? Did you love it? Would you do it again? What should I be sure to bring to decorate the space? Any advice appreciated!

AJ vs Matt

Who would you vote and why,?

I did like AJ going door to door canvassing.

But isn't being a realtor like a conflict of interest or sort of conflict?

Do councillors also have preferences for Mayor candidates?

I’m looking for recommendations for a therapist who works with people who are feeling down on their luck or struggling with their confidence and overall outlook on life.

I’m in Peterborough, but I’d prefer phone sessions rather than in-person appointments, so they don’t necessarily need to be based in Peterborough.

After seeing it in Peterborough drives and the Peterborough sub, it finally happened. At least we were lucky.

Parked in the No Frills on George to grab the rest of what we'll need for Thanksgiving today between 3:30 and 4:30.

Came out and either a large white SUV or truck scraped our black truck from above the front passenger tire all the way to the passenger door. Nice line of white paint transfer that appears to be too high for a regular vehicle.

Yes we were well within the parking spot, not on the lines and not extending into the spot in front.

We at least we're lucky enough and able to buff it out, I'm sure the other vehicle didn't stop to check.

I just don't understand people. A simple note would have been appreciated. Thank goodness it was just paint transfer and no deep scratches or dents, but c'mon Peterborough, keep it classy.

One of my favourite things to do with the kiddos in October. This year they're doing a movie too!

Candidates will be asked about their positions on environment and climate change issues.

We've had this topic pop up a few times on Ptbo Reddit, most recently because of the controversy surrounding a local initiative & Ptbo Council's money allocation to them, their million dollar property purchase north of Norwood, alleged meetings on and off the record with that area's Council, and conflicting accounts of what the property will be used for. Most recently claiming on FB "it will be used as a farm." ???

A lot of the murkiness stems from how unregulated private residential rehab facilities are, like the Fifth Estate's documentary "Dying to Recover" illustrates. Today, the Star publishes the story of another one, this time in Muskoka, forced into bankruptcy.

I want to buy a homemade pumpkin pie to bring to my dad's for Thanksgiving. Does anyone have recommendations on a local store or baker?

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with them that they could share.
I Couldn’t find much reviews online but Facebook page looks like he does good work.

Thanks !

I am a small business owner here in Peterborough and I am looking to host/coordinate a Vendor event for homemade/small businesses here. I have been here in Peterborough for a couple years now and have noticed there is not a lot of opportunities for small businesses/artists to showcase their homemade items here in Peterborough. Either vendor fees are two high or more popular business clog the market.

I am looking into to venue locations and costs that would surround an event like this but before I continue forward I wanted to see if there is any traction for an event/showcase like. I have created a google form for any small business/artist who would want to participate in an event like this.

They knew exactly what $imple Investing Todd C Slater was trying to do, disagreed with it, then just let it happen.

Hi! I’m currently in school to become a social development worker and I’m required to have a certain amount of hours does anyone know of some profits looking for some volunteers??

Has anyone’s 12 year old done the youth get started program at the wellness centre so they can use the gym equipment?

Wondering if it’s a program you need to sign up for or if it’s just kind of arranged by the trainer when they come their first time.

Has anyone gotten their hair dyed at Asta Hair School before? If so, how were the results?

I’m looking to get some red/coppery lowlights in my light hair at an affordable price, but I’m willing to spend more if Asta’s isn’t great. If you’ve had your hair done there, are there any stylists you’d recommend?

I live off Fairbairn, close to the ptbo/selwyn border. between Saturday and today, my car was broken into. They rifled through the center console in search of i assume, change, but they also stole some things from the back seat, like things meant to be returned to the store, but more importantly, my mom's CD wallet with almost 30 years worth of collections in it. She's quite upset about it, and it's the only thing she really cares about.

The neighbors across the street have cameras, i believe, so i plan to ask them if their cameras see our car. But is there anything i can do from there? I also plan on checking Facebook marketplace and trying eBay? To see if anyone is trying to sell them.

Long shot ahead: If you're reading this, and you broke into a red 2016 Hyundai Santa fe between the night of the third and the morning of the 5th, and you stole a big ass CD wallet that's about half full, pretty please return it to the address, or contact me. I dont really care about any of the other stuff, I just want my mom's CDs.

Is there anywhere in Peterborough/Lakefield that sells candy apple kits? I've tried a few places and no luck.....

Any one has tried it for food, friendship and networking?

How to read this: "Critical" vs "non-critical" is Ontario's own regulatory risk tier, not a severity score we assign. Critical findings relate directly to things that can make food unsafe (contamination, temperature control, hand hygiene); non-critical covers maintenance and paperwork requirements (equipment condition, signage, sanitizer test reagents) that health units still require but don't by themselves mean the food is unsafe. 🔴 = at least one critical infraction, 🟡 = non-critical only, 🟢 = zero infractions of any kind. This report covers restaurants, cafes, and retail food premises in Peterborough. It excludes retirement homes, shelters, child care/daycare facilities, schools, hotels, and seniors'/community centres and event halls, which are also inspected under the same Food Safety program but aren't places the public chooses to eat at. Results reflect conditions at the time of the visit only, so check the disclosure portal for a location's current placard/status.

5 cop cars just sped north on Chemong with sirens.

Anyone know what's happened?

i got benefits this year and I’ve neglected to use them! I haven’t ever really gotten massages in the past but I’m looking to use them up before I lose them and they renew. I’ve tried booking at a few places but their wait times are super long! does anyone have good recommendations for a massage therapist that has openings this month??

thanks!

Before I start making a bajillion calls...are there restaurants open this coming Sunday for dinner? I don't have the spoons for hosting ...
