PTBOCanada is delighted to be running the Business Beat columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

Kyle Faubert has been building up his own HVAC business.

He has worked in the field for more than 13 years, specializing in heat pumps, propane and natural gas furnaces, air conditioners, water heaters, geothermal, and custom HVAC work. He has even taught at Fleming College part-time for 7 years. He started Faubert HVAC to provide honest, quality HVAC service in a positive work environment. They offer maintenance, repair and installation services. Find out more at fauberthvac.com.

The 4th Annual Cancer Takedown is back at the Flato Academy Theatre in Lindsay on Nov. 4 and Market Hall Performance Centre in Peterborough on Nov. 5.

The event is an uplifting evening of song, story, and solidarity featuring musicians Melissa Payne, Kate Suhr, The Weber Brothers, and more. It’s not just a fundraiser, but also a spirit-raiser for anyone touched by cancer. The event is co-founded by Rick and Amy Kemp.

A big shout out to Sherri Lee of Hair by Fusion.

She got her Red Seal Endorsement, the highest level of licensing available, allowing her to work anywhere in the country as well as the ability to do some work with skilled trades. Sherri not only puts her skills to use with her customers, but she invests in training others and taking on apprentices. This achievement coincides with Hair by Fusion celebrating 18 years in business. Congratulations Sherri!
