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…

The Ultimate Burger Battle has returned for a second year, running until November 30. Eleven local restaurants are serving up their own ultimate burger with $2 from every burger sold going to support United Way Peterborough and District.

There are seven Burger Ambassadors, including yours truly, who will be making the rounds to all the restaurants and encouraging people to participate.
