Water gardens are a big draw for many types of wildlife and a simple way to add interest to a backyard.

In conjunction with B!ke: The Peterborough Community Cycling Hub and the City of Peterborough, there are now two public bicycle repair stands installed in the downtown core. The first one is at George and Simcoe just outside the doors of Peterborough Square. The second is at B!ke itself, for after hours repairs.
 |
Each stand includes a tire pump (with a universal adapter), spanners, multi-tools and screwdrivers for quick repairs. |
If necessary, scan the QR code and it will take you off to Bicycletutor.com to give you a further helping hand.
Two more repair stands are coming to Peterborough. One will be installed at Trent University (West Bank of Trent's Symons campus) and the second location is still to be determined.

[UPDATE *August 14th*: A Cora representative tells PtboCanada it will be October at the earliest that the Cora location opens here in Peterborough, not September. They will update us once they have a firmer opening date.]
This sign was just set up to announce that Peterborough is getting a Cora Restaurant. Coming to the 815 Parklane Plaza (across from Lansdowne Place), it should be complete by September.

"We're extremely pleased and proud of this community's accomplishments," says Virginia Swinson, the City's Waste Diversion Section Manager. "City residents continue to embrace the culture of reducing, reusing and recycling all they can, and their efforts are being noticed."
