Trent Valley Archives Presents Painter's Portraits
Trent Valley Archives will host the premiere of the short documentary film, “Painter’s Portraits” by noted local filmmaker Nick Van der Graaf on March 28.
The inspiration for this movie came from Nick’s observation of the many captivating portraits of local people which hang on the walls at the Archives. The portraits are the work of one artist Gilbert Painter, who was noted in his youth as an artistic prodigy but who became an engineer and, after WWII, worked at GE in Peterborough. On retirement, Painter concentrated on developing his artistic skills, painting hundreds of people across our region.
The film will be shown at Bagnani Hall, Traill College, London St., at 2 pm. This will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker on the filmmaking process and others who contributed to the film.
Cost of this event is $10 and tickets can be purchased in advance on Eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.ca/.../painters-portraits-film... or at the door.

The planning co-chairs are Otonabee College students to keep the tradition alive where it originated. Each team is comprised of 17 students from the East Bank Colleges and 17 Students from the West Bank Colleges (15 players + 2 goalies).

Coldest Night of the Year 2026
The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because it’s cold out there. Join us on February 28, 2026 - across the country, close to home!
Street Level Advocacy of Peterborough exists to meet people where they are—on the streets, in the parks, and throughout our downtown—and to advocate for their next steps. Our goal is to build a team that engages directly with those experiencing homelessness and hunger, offering support, dignity, and practical help.
Peterborough has a beautiful downtown. However, in recent years, it has also become a resting place for those who do not have a fixed address. Many people camp in the parks, gather on benches, or spend time by the river. Locals often feel distressed by these changes and get frustrated without fully understanding why so many are living this way.
A few years ago, I picked up a young man on a cold day and offered to help fix his e-bike, as he was visibly struggling. I soon realized that he—like many others—had a deep desire to start a new life, find a job, and secure housing but lacked the resources or wasn’t taken seriously. What he needed was an advocate. So I became his advocate and helped him find permanent housing. That experience inspired the work we now do through Street Level Advocacy of Peterborough.
All funds raised through the Coldest Night of the Year will go directly toward street outreach supplies, food, and coffee—practical items that help us support our neighbours with compassion and care.
