Nourish Peterborough has a documentary to raise awareness around the need for food for so many in our community, and the organizations and food programs that are available to help out. The doc brings focus to ten of the organizations and community groups who advocate for food security within Peterborough, and addresses the need for healthy food for those living in poverty. You can rent the film free of charge at Have You Seen. I highly recommend it as it opened my eyes to how many are in need of assistance within our community and how many are here to offer help—including the likes of Our Space, Food Not Bombs, Collective Kitchens, YWCA and The Peterborough Gleaning Program. Watch the trailer below:

It is another Reusable Exchange weekend this weekend here in Peterborough. Set items you want to give away at the curb and if they aren't gone by Monday, don't forget to bring them back inside. There is expected to be a fair bit of rain this weekend, so start hunting early!

The official groundbreaking ceremony for Habitat for Humanity's upcoming builds on Jane Street in Peterborough took place Friday afternoon. These two homes will be built in part by Kenner Collegiate's new Senior Youth Build Program, and Habitat will also be offering many Women Build days in the fall due to the huge success of the program from their most recent build on Towerhill Road.
