/

[Editor's Note: June 13th, 2:45 p.m. OK, well apparently this type of ad is quite common according to the commenter. Still, we found it amusing.]

He may be no Robert Luongo/Tim Thomas but in case your team is lacking a quality goalie... posted today on Kijiji Peterborough is this:

"Hockey goalie for rent - Rent a goalie $40

I've played AAA, Jr.A and Jr.C.  I am 6'3 27 years old, play year round and looking to pick up a game or two here and there.  I am confident playing at any level, be it A, B,C, D and even rec if it comes down to it.  I play monthly in Ice Sports and GM Centre tournaments as well.
 
All inquires through email thank you!

Little Lake and Del Crary Park will be a busy spot this weekend as Peterborough's Dragon Boat Festival gets underway, with opening ceremonies taking place Friday evening at 7 p.m. and the races getting underway first thing Saturday morning. With funds raised this year for PRHC's Breast Assessment Centre, the hope is that they will reach the $2,000,000 mark since the festival first began in 2001. Come on out and support our paddlers!  (Click here for pictures from last year's event.)

A company of professional dancers and community lacrosse players perform this new work, with an original score by two-time Juno award winner Derek Miller.

An abridged performance will be held just before the Peterborough Lakers lacrosse game on the evening of June 16th, and the full performance will be shown on Saturday, June 18th at 3 p.m. as part of the Ode'min Giizis Traditional Gathering at Del Crary Park.

For more info on the festival—100 Indigenous artists ranging from musicians to visual artists to writers will be performing—contact Tara Williamson, Artistic Associate at Ode'min Giizis Festival, at (705) 745-1788 or email at tara@okw-arts.ca. Or go online to the Ode’min Giizis website.
