We are delighted to announce a partnership between Peterborough Memorial Centre (PMC), the Peterborough Petes and PTBOCanada where we have branded two PTBOCanada entrance tunnels at PMC. The tunnels are located on the East and West side of the north concession leading from the main lobby up into the arena bowl. We encourage fans to tweet us (@Ptbo_Canada) and tag us on instagram with your selfies and group photos from the PTBOCanada tunnels at PMC events and Petes games. We will soon be creating a fun hashtag(s) on the wall.
"The PMC is excited to have the dynamic PTBOCanada digital media brand partner with us," says John Salfi, Program & Promotions Coordinator with the City of Peterborough. "We believe the PTBOCanada tunnels will drive engagement among PMC patrons of all ages. Our new motto for the PMC is 'Entertainment Lives Here', and we are working to create more interactive and fun ways for our customers to engage with us during live events. Watch for fun contest and promotions coming up in the PTBOCanada tunnels using hashtags."

The tunnels were designed and wrapped by Unique Media Solutions. "We're delighted to produce these PTBOCanada tunnels in partnership with the PMC and the Peterborough Petes," says Unique Media Solutions co-owner John Druce, who is a former Peterborough Pete and NHL-er. "As a Peterborough Pete alumni and proud supporter of everything Peterborough, this opportunity to wrap the PTBOCanada tunnels was an excellent fit. I'm a huge fan of the PTBOCanada brand, PMC and the Petes."
Thanks also to Studio-N—who created our PTBOCanada logo for us—for their consulting throughout this design process.

Maryam Monsef Launches Federal Liberal Nomination Campaign For Peterborough-Kawartha Riding
/
UPDATE: February 4th. The full press release from today's announcement...
At a gathering of friends and supporters at Sam’s Place in Peterborough, Maryam Monsef announced her candidacy for the Peterborough Kawartha Liberal nomination. "I believe it is time to do politics differently in Peterborough-Kawartha riding and provide a progressive alternative to the politics of division practiced by Steven Harper and the Conservative party. In our community we have clear evidence that the Conservative Party have pursued policies which have hurt, not helped the people of our community.”
Ms. Monsef attended PCVS and is a graduate of Trent University. She is co-founder of the Red Pashmina Campaign, recipient of the YMCA's Peace Medallion in 2013, represented Peterborough at the United Nations for the Commission on the Status of Women in 2013, and is an experienced community organizer. She is a sought after speaker on topics such as leadership, youth, women and inclusion.
Maryam, who recently ran for Mayor in Peterborough and garnered nearly 10,000 votes, pointed to a series of issues which she believes need to be addressed to make our community an even better place to live, work, raise a family and provide every resident an opportunity to achieve their full potential.
“I believe we need a national housing strategy that seeks to provide affordable accommodation, new investments in public transportation to ensure greater access to work and vital services and new investments in infrastructure to help meet the needs of a growing community.” Maryam told her supporters.
She went on to describe the importance of pursuing an economic development strategy which strengthens the small business community, builds a knowledge based economy, promotes the region’s cultural and tourism industries and builds on community strengths to attract investments leading to new jobs.
Ms. Monsef expressed her profound concern with the current government’s approach to environmental issues. “We have an obligation to our children and our children’s children to protect our environment and allow the next generation to enjoy clean water, safe air to breathe, and a natural environment that nurtures the soul and is not polluted by careless use.” She continued, “When it comes to climate change, not only does Steven Harper and his Ministers refuse to act, many of them simply deny it exists.”
Also present at the launch was Cammie Jaquays. Ms. Jaquays recently stepped aside from the nomination race and is now supporting Ms. Monsef. "I congratulate Cammie on her excellent campaign and the large number of new members she has brought into the Liberal party. I am proud to call her friend and am very appreciative of her support,” remarked Maryam.
Over the next few weeks Maryam will be meeting with area residents and asking them to join her in bringing change to Ottawa. Maryam ended her address with a clear commitment to the constituents of Peterborough-Kawartha “I promise to listen carefully, work hard on your behalf and provide a new way of doing politics that responds to the needs of local citizens”.
