Millbrook Was Beautifully Transformed Into Charlottetown, PEI For New CBC/Netflix TV Series "Anne"

Millbrook townsfolk were buzzing on Tuesday (November 8th), as their picturesque downtown near Peterborough, Ontario became the set for a new, upcoming CBC/Netflix series Anne based on the 1908 classic novel Anne of Green Gables.

The adaptation of the famous novel is slated to air early in 2017, and is being spearheaded by Emmy-winning writer Moira Walley-Beckett (Breaking Bad). The eight-episode series will stream globally on Netflix and air on CBC in Canada, and by airing on Netflix will further introduce Anne to a generation of new fans outside Canada.

Millbrook was dramatically transformed into Charlottetown, PEI for the scenes. Here are pictures below from the set...

Anne Shirley herself is being played by Amybeth McNulty, who wasn't on set today...

PRHC Has A Volunteer Staff Band Called The Misfits That Brings Joy To Patients

PRHC has a volunteer staff band that plays for patients once a month—and includes staff members from across all areas of the hospital.

The Misfits—made up of people from departments such as Building Services, Physiotherapy, Social Work, Laboratory, Mental Health and Finance—practice twice a week at lunch hour to prepare for the patients.

Patients respond to music even when other memories are gone and it eases their anxiety and relaxes them when The Misfits play.

PRHC says it regularly receives positive feedback from patients and family members about this great band giving their time in such a meaningful way.

Watch the video below to learn more about The Misfits and a beautiful letter they received...

Enjoy Beautiful Jackson Park This Thanksgiving Weekend

The leaves are changing just in time for Thanksgiving Weekend here in Peterborough and there is no better place to go and see them than Jackson Park!

Whether for family photos or just a chance to take in the Autumn air, be sure to go for a stroll on the many trails.

Parking is usually pretty cramped in the entrance off Fairbairn Street, so don't forget the huge parking and entrance just off Bonaccord Street.
