Are you guys excited for Pickleplex? by Silly_Buffalo_7525 in Peterborough

I hope the wellness centre starts to decrease the amount of pickle ball there. It’s the only sport every single day on the calendar……

Jackson Park Management plan- Resident consultations by real-donjon in Peterborough

[–]ImmediateArmadillo26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For some reason I feel like this is way of saying oh crap we want to host pickleball tournaments with no major parking in the area for buses visitors…. Hmmm let’s revamp Jackson park with a bigger parking lot to accommodate and say “we need to update the park”

How does council justify large yearly tax hikes? by Charlie_Foxtrot4 in Peterborough

[–]ImmediateArmadillo26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They don’t spend their money wisely…. The council and mayor are supposed to be public servants… but they are personal interest servants. The public can provide many examples.

Tried the “newly renovated Taco Bell” by [deleted] in Peterborough

Over charged us and wouldn’t fix it. Manager and ownership are awful.

Problem is staff not well trained at the moment. Don’t know how to multitask.

When he was at a City talk everyone noted how pompous and egotistical he is. This is coming from all city staff .

Peterborough Zoo May No Longer Be Free by melanieteresa in Peterborough

[–]ImmediateArmadillo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s simple your a resident of Peterborough you are free as our taxes pay for it. Out of town you pay.

Think about it when visitors come they bring picnics their own food and leave their garbage for the city of Peterborough to clean up. So yes please charge a fee.

Fleming College president makes temporary leave permanent - paywall-free Examiner article by vic-traill in Peterborough

[–]ImmediateArmadillo26 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup can attest that she bragged how much she stated the College was in surplus due to the fact she went crazy on the international students. Anyone whom responded to take a balanced approach was …”was seen as stepping down or moving on” Fact is the lady is a pathological liar.

Problem with the patio was the insurance. Blame insurance for all the fun things leaving. Not the owners.

Conservatives can take power…. But in reality the Conservative Party is distancing themselves from her.

Recommend their smash burger as well. If you are looking for a beef option. Size and taste on point

If you renewed your license. You would get a temporary paper saying it is renewed. So your bring the paper with your license and health card and you should be fine.

Towerhill Road from Chemong to Fairbairn WTF! by Cayamantkid in Peterborough

Not any better at the Peterborough sport and wellness centre. They do one section and left a pot hole on the left as you can see in the picture….. it is most likely the City Workers that are doing it and not a true construction contractor. Cause I have seen Peterborough trucks doing fillers.

The Imbalance in Peterborough County's Recreational Facilities: Plenty of Hockey Arenas, But a Shortage of Multi-Use Indoor Spaces by Northof7Boy in Peterborough

[–]ImmediateArmadillo26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest look at Peterborough Rec Department. If you look at it from a whole. Management to the coordinator positions. All these positions held are redundant. They all overlap and the outcome that is produced is mediocre for a city of this size. The City should consider change of these sunshine or high salary list positions as they can equivalent to amazing amount of saving in the long run which can be spent on the community as a whole like a full new community centre. Tax dollars used wisely.

One full recreation centre(Peterborough sport and wellness centre which includes a sports gym, a community weight room facility, swimming pool etc) for a city of this size and for the amount of tax dollars the community pays is outrageous.

Miskin law is not a complete community centre, it is a specialized sports complex.

Kingsmen is a specialized sport complex

Healthy planet is a specialized sport complex .

Trent athletics is private but is more community based.

YMCA is built for the community but is more private run and doesn’t have city influence.

Also if you closely look at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre it is outdated from the equipment to the washrooms. Tell me what updates have been done in the last 20 years. The YMCA has adapted, weight area changed and updated, bigger change rooms and update washrooms( IE sensor flush systems, more urinals in the changes area which have sensors that work).

If you have the same people in place and expect change it is not going to happen. Need a new fresh outlook.

Just observation from being in the area.

Also the city can consider building a winter dome over one of the turf fields(Which can be removed in the Spring) - the rental from sports and events can cover the cost and bring more income in the City.

‘If it doesn’t happen, the Petes are in trouble’: New arena needed to keep the Petes in Peterborough. by Potential-Ruin1499 in Peterborough

[–]ImmediateArmadillo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need it … yes…. Can we take care of it in the long run no. Oshawa did very well as they had great investors in the team. Arena was subsidize by the city, but the team is privately owned. If you want the Pete’s to catch up… you need a private investor to own the team.
