I've tried candles from dollar store. Fans from Walmart. I'm just looking for something to place on the small table in my small backyard to get rid of flies and flying bugs when the sun goes down or when we eat food. If something in particular works really well for you, please share. Would prefer against anything electrical, as I have small kids.

TIA

Good spot to watch sunset?

My fiancé and I are getting married and are strongly considering doing it at a City Hall. We are based in Peterborough, but the PTBO City Hall looks a little too modern and blah for our tastes. I know it’s technically a civic building and it is what it is, but I was curious if anyone knows of a more aesthetically pleasing City Hall in the Kawartha Lakes that we can tie the knot at instead.

I heard that Lindsay’s City Hall isn’t too bad. We both love a historical building, and want to have nice photos for our special day.

Any recommendations or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

We are looking to move to Ptb and have narrowed it down to a few areas. We like the Avenues, Old West End, and East City. We do not want to live in the suburbs or new divisions.

However, someone recently mentioned we should also consider the 'Teacher's College Area'. It looks nice but I'm not as familiar. What are the pros and cons of this area? Looking for mature trees, quiet neighbourhoods, safe, walking distance to downtown (25 mins or less).

Should we consider adding this to our list?

I haven't seen any announcements, is the garage sale this weekend coming up?

Is kawartha combat a good choice for heavy sparring, I'm an advanced boxer and I need a good team to spar with, is it a good choice or it’s for beginners? thanks.

I’ve gone back and fourth debating on posting this but I lost my sweet dog to a dog attack in the north end a little over a month ago and the dog who killed mine (and attacked me) remains alive and I continue to see it off leash. Unless your dog has 100% recall I strongly encourage that dogs remain on leash to avoid preventable incidents such as the one that killed my bestfriend ☹️

Ik there’s EB games at the mall, but the switch game I wanted was not therrreeeee. Walmart? Best Buy? I haven’t bought games for yrs and I’m just revisiting the hobby so. Tell me the deets

Does PTBO have a noise pollution by-law? I am referring to modified mufflers, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, trucks with no muffler.

I’ve dug up the dirt from my backyard and it’s currently sitting in my driveway I’m willing to pay a company to remove the dirt and haul it away for me. I just can’t seem to find anyone who does this

As the city's CTS prepares to shut down, Smith argues treatment and recovery programs are the best path to reducing addiction, overdose deaths, and public drug use. (This story is one in a series covering the closure of the Peterborough CTS, examining potential impacts on healthcare, policing and safety, and community services.)

Hi all,

I’m working on a story for Peterborough Weekly about the new youth transit initiative for ages 13 to 18, and I’m looking to hear from local families and students about how teens are currently using transit in Peterborough.

Since this subreddit doesn’t have polls, I’d appreciate it if anyone willing could comment with:

• Age of the teen
• Parent/guardian or student
• What the bus is used for
• How often they use transit

I’d also be interested in hearing any thoughts on affordability, reliability, or whether this new initiative will make a difference for your family.

Thank you in advance!

Looking for a really good chip truck to go to today!

Give me the deets!

Hi!

Does anyone know a good spot for collecting river rocks?

Ideally as close as possible to the courthouse, but anywhere in and around Peterborough would be awesome! We've already gotten some good jagged ones from the train tracks that run behind the nofrills but some smoother ones for contrast is what we're looking for now.

Thanks for any tips, have a good one out there!

Hi all, we are currently with Telus, and have been for years. We used to have great service all through the region but over the last 2yrs the coverage has become terrible. Lakefield is a total dead zone, as is Warsaw and large parts of the Buckhorn/Lakehurst and Ennismore/Bridgenorth area are terrible spotty with constant dropped calls or sounding robotic and so is parts of Peterborough too for that matter.. We are up to renew our phone plans and considering making the switch the Rogers. Just looking to get feedback on Roger’s coverage in particular but open to hearing other suggestions. We are in Lakehurst but I travel Peterborough County and Kawartha Lakes all over daily for work. I’ve read other older posts and it kinda seems like what works is a total crapshoot and people in the same neighborhoods have vastly different experiences.

Cheers.
