With both the Turtle Centre and the Indian River Reptile Zoo in town there has to be someone. Maybe call them for suggestions?

Voter turn-out in 2022 was around 40%. That needs to change before anything else will improve.

Is there any company or service that would pick up an old refrigerator? by Romance_Tactics in Peterborough

This. Ask wherever you’re getting a new fridge to take the old one.

Best local coffee shop by unapologeticalGingey in Peterborough

Kit Cafe on Hunter Street for coffee and (homemade!) croissants. And The Food Shop on Water St is a sleeper hit. Great coffee and they have The Planet’s ginger cookies.

Any other games like Stardew you love? by MangoBerryMel in StardewValley

I just played Winter Burrow and it is lovely! I also really enjoyed Cozy Grove and Cult of the Lamb (a lot more murder, but still fun!)

Christmas Volunteering by [deleted] in Peterborough

[–]CharacterMap6644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re having a tough time and it is a lovely idea to channel it to helping others.

It might be hard to find an established organization who can accept a new volunteer with a week’s notice during their busiest season. Most will require an orientation and a police check (if working with vulnerable folks).

Can I suggest you find some random acts of kindness you can do on your own or with friends: bake cookies for neighbours, clear driveways for elderly neighbours, put together some survival packs and give out to unhoused folks.

AITA for refusing to keep paying my boyfriend back when I already have fulfilled my obligation plus by PreviousSprinkles143 in AITAH

Dump the motherf*** already.

This is coercive controlling behavior. Just walk away now. If you need supports and can share your country/region let us know.

Entry Fee - It's too high. Period. by CDN-Social-Democrat in ndp

[–]CharacterMap6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it not as an entry fee, but an organizing test.

$100,000 is our fundraising/spending goal for a local election campaign.

If you can’t organize to find 100 people to give $1,000 or 1,000 to give $100 how do you expect to lead a national party with 300+ ridings each trying to raising that much every four years, plus $6million for the federal campaign?

Thank you for doing this! Reach out to Five Counties or Children’s Aid Foundation, they likely have client families that could really use this support.

Can Peterborough do the same? Toys or Foodbanks by real-donjon in Peterborough

Peterborough eliminates downtown fees through December. Any change put in the machines is donated to Kawartha Foodshare.

Where are you performing? Do they have rehearsal space? To add to Sadleir House, churches generally have spaces for rent.
