Carlson Wagonlit Stewart Travel has announced a Porter Airlines charter from Peterborough Airport to Chicago. Porter Airlines has been contracted to fly from Peterborough Airport to Chicago Midway Airport April 9th. Once again, this is a first for Peterborough and Peterborough Airport, as the popularity of flights to destinations directly from Peterborough’s newly expanded airport has made this new partnership a reality.
“We continue to raise the bar and build upon the foundation of our charter flight and package program directly from Peterborough Airport," says Scott Stewart, President of Carlson Wagonlit Stewart Travel, adding, "The entire Peterborough, Lakeshore and Durham regions have clearly shown that the demand for departures out of Peterborough is necessary."
For additional information about the flight or to book one, contact CWT Stewart Travel at 705.743.8683.

Read MoreTadashi & Brittany
Brittany Holmes, a Trent University student, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help her struggling boyfriend, Tadashi Ridout, be able to stay in school at Fleming College. Tadashi is running out of money but desperately wants to stay at Fleming and complete his education. Brittany, who launched the campaign several months, reached out to PTBOCanada now to spread the word about the campaign—which thus far has raised just $200 of her $5,000 goal.
"As outlined on my campaign, I met Tadashi two years ago, and he has been struggling to finance his education. Ever since Tad was a child, with only the support of a single parent, he and his family have struggled to make ends meet financially. When he was 16 years old, he was left with nothing but the clothes on his back, and has been self-supporting since—working part-time jobs."
"Tadashi has always talked about wanting to get a college education and his desire to create a better future for himself," she tells us. He is enrolled at Fleming in their Business program and is in the process of completing his first semester of classes, and hoping to return for second semester if he has enough money.
"With hours hard to come by in these winter months, and with the loss of his second job, he is struggling to cover his cost of living (rent, utilities, food), let alone his educational fees," Brittany says. Furthermore, his government funding has been put on hold due to some red tape policies. He continually worries that he will not be able to afford the education he deserves and desires.
"I wish to raise money to help ease the pressure Tadashi faces, so that he can focus on his education and his future," says Brittany. "He is incredibly hard working, and it's heartbreaking to see his financial status stand between him and his goals. I want to alleviate the financial stress that Tadashi feels is a burden to our future together."

"My goal is to raise $5,000, with any additional funds raised to be donated to other campaigns of similar nature," Brittany tells PTBOCanada.
