City to Hold Public Meeting For Fire Station 2 Relocation

/

The City of Peterborough will hold a public meeting on Jan. 18 to provide a presentation on the design of the new Fire Station 2 facility and answer questions from the public.

Residents are invited to join the meeting on the City’s community consultation website Connect Peterborough or by phone.

The site at 100 Marina Blvd — which was previously the location of the Northcrest Arena — was approved in April 2021 by City Council following a detailed site study and public consultation process.

It will be the City’s first building that is designed, built and certified as a Zero Carbon Building for both performance and design categories.

Construction on the new facility is expected to start in the summer of 2022.

“We’re all very excited to see the Fire Hall #2 project moving ahead to support Peterborough Fire Service in serving the growing community in the City’s north end,” remarked Councillor Andrew Beamer, Chair of Fire Services. “Please join the public meeting to get a sneak peek of the facility and to take part in the question-and-answer period.”

Everyone is welcome to join the Public Meeting: Peterborough Fire Services Station #2 on Jan 18 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.:

Residents are encouraged to review the facility plan, background information and frequently asked questions about the project on the Connect Peterborough site at www.connectptbo.ca/fire. Hard copies of the project information will also be available for pick up at City Hall, 500 George St. N., during regular business hours.

Residents are encouraged to submit questions to the project team in advance of the Jan. 18 meeting by leaving a voicemail at 705-745-3284 ext. 6215, sending an email to firestation2relocation@peterborough.ca or posting online at www.connectptbo.ca/fire. Answers will be provided during the meeting and posted after the meeting, with hard copies available at City Hall.

The public meeting will be recorded and posted on the Connect Peterborough site and the City of Peterborough’s YouTube channel.
