Cottage Toys Celebrates Official Grand Opening Ahead Of Victoria Day Long Weekend

The new Cottage Toys in Lakefield celebrated their official grand opening on Thursday.

Surrounded by friends, family, members of Community Futures Peterborough, and The Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, owner Donna Rourke cut the ribbon with her husband Andrew.

“There’s one saying that I absolutely love and keep on my fridge, ‘The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams’.” said Rourke. “ This store has been a dream of mine for a long time. This is a vision I set 15 years ago when I purchased this property.”

Now, 15 years after purchasing, Rourke finally has a brick and mortar store in the heart of Lakefield.

Rourke says she is excited for her store to draw people to Lakefield, and hopes that will benefit the rest of the community.

Cottage Toys is open in Lakefield every day 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
