It never rains on Pride Parade Day in Peterborough!

Happy Pride!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💛🤍💜🖤

#ALLofUSorNONE!

Yes, folks on fixed income, and those whose wages are outpaced by rent increases, very vulnerable to being forced out of their homes. So sad/ironic since tax increases can be used to keep people housed.

Yikes!! That’s way above the annual guideline for raising rent in Ontario. If municipal taxes have supersized that increase then other landlords are going to do the same.

I am so sorry 😣

Thanks, Dylan. These pictures are very instructive. I’m not sure why contractors are not required to sweep up the debris, and to install barriers to prevent carryover into stormwater drains. Environmental protection should be a mandatory requirement. We can do so much better than this!

This @cityptbo.bsky.social road micro resurfacing is a macro problem for the health of our waterways.

All of this loose asphalt is left to wash into our streams via storm drains.

Don’t we have better methods to protect the environment while fixing road surfaces?

Ideas @brenttoderian.bsky.social?

I can’t capture how beautiful the moon is tonight, but can show you how brightly it’s shining 🌔

Cleaning and sorting donated books for our #LittleLendingLibrary this morning 🙂

The kiddos are out of school now, so a great time, if you have gently loved kids and teen books at home, to drop them off at a neighbourhood or municipal library.

Always a need for large print books too!

Cool sunset at the end of a hot day.

It’s been a spectacular week for seeing warblers in backyard gardens and parks, Jackie. Imagine they’re loving the fruit trees you planted!

Sorry, bit misleading, and you’re right, those are ospreys in the first photo with the article and the osprey is the official bird of the City of Kawartha Lakes!

Great guess, Mary, but Peterborough’s city bird is the Great Blue Heron!

It’s World Migratory Bird Day! 🦉

DYK that #Ptbo is a certified Bird Friendly City?

Can you identify our city bird?

Our community protects birds by:

🐦 avoiding pesticides
🐦 keeping 🐈🐈‍⬛ indoors
🐦 promoting habitat creation & protection
🐦 making windows bird-friendly

Great tips to help birds ⬇️

Beautiful night to be out in the boro!

Happy weekend #Ptbo!

While watching some basking painted turtles, this mink popped out from between the floating logs with dinner!

Cool sighting on our Friday night walk 🦦

Clear, comprehensive, integrated. Lots of support for protecting the local food supply, farmers, greenhouse growers. Lots of support for environment and women's / Indigenous / 2SLGBTQ rights built into many areas, not just token investments. He's an economist so I trust this budget to be achievable.

We need to fight tariffs & climate change together 🇨🇦

Elbows Up for Climate❗️

180+ municipal leaders, like @joylachica.bsky.social are calling on Federal Leaders to undertake 5 bold and achievable initiatives.

This should be a topic for the national debates tonight and tomorrow evening.

Schools closed again on Tuesday, in Peterborough area Schools not open, following potent weekend ice storm

Schools closed again on Tuesday, in Peterborough area

As many homes, farms and businesses are still without power, and we move into recovery and clean-up mode following the ice storm, our team is taking time to do the same.

Please stay safe around fallen trees and power lines. Remember to be kind and check on your neighbours.

#Ptbo #Transit

All routes remain suspended until the roads can be assessed. I’ll keep an eye on when they go out again.
They’re checking for obstructions, like fallen trees or power lines, or hydro crews working in the middle of the road.
Check before you go as there are a ton of places still out.

☺️ As are you, my sassy, serial knitting, defender of Ptbo, friend! 💕

The @cityptbo.bsky.social has declared a state of emergency to aid recovery from the weekend ice storm. Tireless Public Works & Hydro teams continue to remove downed branches & restore power to homes & businesses 👷🏽‍♀️👷🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

See www.peterborough.ca

We’ve done this before #Ptbo, we’ve got this! #resilience

Us too, Julie, since last night. Looks like many areas in the city are still without power. Lots of extra clothes on this morning!#wearingAblanket 🥶

In Peterborough: Public Works (705-745-1386) can be called to report downed trees and branches on municipal property.

Beautiful, but deadly 🥶 #ONSTORM this weekend.

No power and many broken limbs. Our poor trees 🌳🌲

Stay safe, and thank you to all the Hydro One personnel who are out in slippery conditions responding to these massive power outages 🙏🏻

@theweathernetwork.bsky.social

Hahaha, Clifficial @ptboexaminer.bsky.social

Yes, Julie, the Liberal Campaign Hub is at 151 King. Thanks for asking 🙏🏻

The room is filling up fast at 151 King Street #Ptbo for @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social #liberal candidate for the riding of Ptbo-Kawartha.

It’s a little bit crowded 🙌🏻

This is a person our community wants to hear!

Spring is the best time to witness the wonders of the hydrologic process. Powered by the sun, water is constantly moving through changes of state, flowing from ocean to atmosphere, rippling across the land, sustaining life.

🌱 🌎 💚

Fantastic, Ann! Well deserved support 🙌🏻
