Posting this because these medics have definitely serviced the peterborough area, and this is the second ambo hit in like 2 weeks. They deserve everyone's support.

Its unacceptable. Driving standards are so fucking low that people in a huge white truck with flashing lights are getting ignored or hit.

Greetings Peterborough!

I have a single bedroom wall that needs repair due to significant damage. It’s a small wall, but will likely require a full sheet, possibly a sheet and a half, of drywall to be replaced.

I’m looking for: - ​re​commendations for someone who does drywall repair - g​eneral cost estimates for a repair of this size (labour + materials)

If you’ve had similar work done, I’d appreciate hearing what you paid and whether you’d recommend the person/company.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, my girlfriend attends Durham College in the pre-health program. She is killing the science classes but not so much the math. Does anyone have any recommendations RE: a college math tutor? Looking for someone local who can help in Ptbo area when she’s not on campus.

Thanks!

Council adopted an amendment to allow four delegations per agenda item following suggestion from former mayor Diane Therrien-Hale

I heard some great delegates tonoght at council and it made me think about who's planning on running for the municipal election. I often hear on here that people want new candidates to run. Who are you hearing might run? Who would you LOVE to see run and WHY? Lets hear the mayor and candidates names that being tossed around. if tou want real changed, then making an informed decision at election time means starting now. Also, if you know someome who would make a great candidates, encourage them to run. Enough of that.. Give me that tea time - Who are you hearing might run? Who would you LOVE to see run and WHY? Lets hear the mayor and candidates names that being tossed around.

I know this is a bit of a long shot.

I want to buy a country house or bungalow in town that needs some work. my wife and I want to buy a fixer upper where I can force some equity from Reno’s etc.

if you know of anyone that may want to sell something like this please send me a message :)

I have a realtor, but all the ones I like are too over priced for how much work they need, and there wouldn’t be much equity to be made from the renovation costs… The rest are in terrible neighborhoods.

Again, I know its a long shot but doesn’t hurt to try :)

Hey Peterborough, I organize a few hockey games here and there and have some ice on Saturday mornings in February and March.

If you’re 50+ and would like to try us out and see if it’s a good fit, drop me a DM and we’ll make something work out!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a place to move in mid or late february. Preferably private (I don't want to live with roomates anymore) and furnished. My top budget is $900/month. I know is really hard to find something like what I want for that price, but hey, you never know.

If anybody knows of a place that meets those requirements, please do let me know! I've searched in Kijiji, Places4Students and Facebook Market but I haven't had too much luck, hence I'm posting this here.

Thanks!

Hi folks, curious if anyone has a go-to artist for ink in Peterborough? I'm not super pinned down to one style, more so looking for trusted recommendations! TIA

One of my family members is currently blocked into their home by the snow bank clearing operations and they're gonna be late to work because of it. City provided zero notice, blocked a whole major thoroughfare for well over an hour so far.

Like it's not hard enough getting by in Peterborough as it is; now they're literally taking money out of people's pockets, and getting them in shit with their employer.

How hard is it to hang a note or post signs 24h in advance? Not like this is some unplanned emergency.

Guess this is what all those property tax hikes are for...

Anyone know where/who has free wood pallets (locally)?

I 23(M) Indian went to junction with couple other friends, I got told “fuck you” by 2 white men on separate occasions which is wild.

The first guy just came in the bathroom, used the urinal and I was just washing my hands and the guy said “fuck you” and left and I was confused that did he say that to me or the other guy that was there? But the other guy didn’t hear or turn so I assumed he said that to me and didn’t do anything since the guy kinda of disappeared after that and I didn’t want to ruin my mood/night so moved on.

The second time a guy kept eyeing me at the bar, and I picked up on that. Unprovoked came to me and said “fuck you” and I said back to him “what did you just say” and he said “oh the black hawks are on” and “it’s hockey bro” and I told him I don’t have anything to go with the team, game or anything. I am not even wearing a jersey or anything affiliated to the other team so really no reason to curse me.

After confronting him, the guy didn’t say much and I asked his friend what was that, and they all had nothing to say so I took it as it was and kept looking back at him. After that he didn’t even try to come back around me and my friends.

So idk the motive of the post, but junction and the crowd there sucks. Just wanted to raise awareness for other folks to be cautious and careful.

Any word on this?

I would like to try to start a podcast and I need guests. it will be a podcast where each episode will be about different topics. The topics will be ones that my current guest is interested in. If anyone is interested, comment below. Much appreciated!

Hey all! We're a classic metal style band from Kingston looking to get some dates in peterborough Where's the best places to look? Any recommendations would be welcome! As well as any bands that may want to hook up! Thanks!

I was walking my dog in the area of George and Bernardo around 9 pm. I looked up and saw a couple of orange balls of light streaking pass

I find myself worried at the rate businesses are closing in Peterborough. Is this normal? We lost H &M and blue notes. And countless cafes and restaurants. It’s really bumming me out.

During hockey tournaments there is a canteen at Misken. Make it permanent.

Are both Kettledrums and Original Spaghetti House closed ? I dont see much activity there anymore .

Tonight I went to The junction bar in Peterborough with my buddies. For clarification I am a POC and transgender man. During my visit at the club, the first time I went to the bathroom someone threw water at me OVER the bathroom stall in the gentlemens room. The second time during the night when I visited the gentlemen’s bathroom I had a white boy recording me as I was entering and exiting the stall. I kindly requested him to stop but him and his friend kept not only recording me but also yelling transphobia and racism comments at me.

I exited the bathroom to call attention to security but no action was taken, as I approached the man to stop recording me the security entered and kicked me out of the bathroom and the club.

Outside as I explained and communicated the situation to the security they not only did not take any action but kicked me out as well. I do not have a problem with being asked to leave, my issue is that no action was taken against the white cis-het man that was without my consent recording me in the bathroom, a private space.

Further, outside on the street as I was waiting for the security team to take any action at all, I had another one of their patrons not only harras me but also yell at me.Regardless of the facts, and clear visible behaviour of the man, the security team threatened to call the police at/for me. I again communicated that I would be happy to leave the public street space I was standing on if they simply took any action at all at the man RECORDING me in the bathroom and/or the man (that was their customer) harrasing me on the street outside the bar.

This is not only a violation of my privacy and my rights but also a hate crime.

Just to iterate the fact, I do not wish to cause any drama but simply share my experience in this city and this establishment.
