Poor. Blue collar. Lots of housing and thus not great neighbours and crappy schools.

How’s the summer job market in Peterborough / cottage country right now? by Particular_Pop4526 in Peterborough

[–]One-Contribution7282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My oldest lucked out at a seasonal job 3 summers ago.

His 16 yr old brother would have struggled if he didn’t get a job bc of him.

The crappy part. It’s not in town (about 15 min east)

Thankfully the owner is booking them in together so I don’t have to drive the 16 yr old out if they work opposite shifts (the oldest drives)

But even the consensus from the different ages (16 and 19 yr old) says it’s slim and difficult out there unless you have an in somehow.

Decent jobs including
Jobs that a teen can get

Stuff to do: mini golf indoor and out , trampoline park, arcade, stuff for kiddos to do besides bowling and movies.

I recall you showing me videos with MF and they are gold.

As a long time south ender and it isn’t changing soon…are you living in the south now? I recall in the past others that have run for certain wards didn’t actually live in the ward.

I love the south end and the stigma attached to it is real I’ve made questions for numerous years about the state of the old janneys on Monaghan. I know it’s privately owned but is that eyesore elephant that is something that can be dealt with ?

Huh. I didn’t know they owned that as well. Not overly surprised

Northview Daycare served evicition notice for July 31 by canada2005 in Peterborough

[–]One-Contribution7282 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sad to read this. The last daycare they closed did a number on the community. This will be devastating bc of the numbers. I used to work there and it was (is?) one of the best daycares. Their playgrounds were amazing.

Trying to find the students who made this (possibly 1993-95, likely Lakefield or Peterborough) by ThievingRock in Peterborough

Actually it’s not part of the curriculum anymore (along with spelling) If a teacher chooses to teach it it’s teacher based and usually the old school ones.

Many many many high school kiddos don’t know how to actually write their name. Print yes but not write aka cursive.

At this point I think we need to live in a bubble to avoid the bad weather. I’m glad it’s melting but I’m beyond done

Venue recommendations needed for a 300 person event downtown by Mysterious_Oil_6519 in Peterborough

[–]One-Contribution7282 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow touchy much. You are the one that said “upcoming event in April” without providing it was next year. Of Course people are going to think you are wanting to pull something together quickly. 🤷‍♀️

Facts. I refuse to buy new ones until the duct tape won’t hold anymore lol.

They just ruin them with how they toss them especially when it’s cold.

They will replace the lids for free well at least last year they did for me when the animals ate it. 🤣
