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…

A definite sign of summer is here, as Lang Pioneer Village Museum opens for the 2026 season on Tuesday.

Starting with their Spring hours, Monday to Friday, from 10 AM to 3 PM. The Summer and special event season will kick off with the Father’s Day Smoke and Steam show on Sunday, June 21 and following that, the Museum will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be an add-on experience of Afternoon Tea as well as other hands-on experiences and immersive programs.

Need pet food?

The Peterborough Humane Society will be hosting their Pet Pantry Pop-Up Saturday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or while supplies last at the Chamber of Commerce Parking Lot – 175 George Street North. Free cat and dog food will be available to pet owners in need. No registration is required.

Peterborough County is continuing work on the Transportation Master Plan Study for the Lakefield Area Road Network.

On May 27, they are inviting the local business community to provide their “unique and valuable insight” during the second public information centre at the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre in Lakefield. This is important work as the future look of transportation in Selwyn and Douro Dummer are reviewed.

If you are a business owner, HR manager or responsible for recruitment in Peterborough (City and County), Northumberland, Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton, then the Workforce Development Board needs to hear from you as they are conducting research to inform the 2026-2027 Local Labour Market Planning Report.

If you are passionate about developing current and future workforce for you and the community, let WDB know what you need by completing their survey today.
