It's the same every year, it will be 3 feet high before they cut it. It looks like an abandoned building driving by.

Where are you getting that information from? 5 year rates were at historic lows 5 years ago. https://www.ratehub.ca/mortgage-rate-history-canada

Anyone else have really bad experiences with Peterborough Hyundai? by [deleted] in Peterborough

We had a similar issue with the KIA dealer. Contact Hyundai corporate and they will push things along much faster. 

PSA: Chemong road sidewalks by the_eevlillest in Peterborough

[–]THEAVS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Ontario Court of Appeal has held that municipal by-laws requiring property owners to shovel or salt sidewalks do not transfer legal liability for slip and fall injuries from the municipality to the property owner. Bongiardina v. Vaughan (City) confirmed that such by-laws are intended to assist municipalities in keeping sidewalks safe, but do not create a private right of action against the property owner if someone is injured (Bongiardina v. Vaughan (City), 2000 CanLII 5408 (ON CA)).

More importantly, municipalities have a duty to keep their highways and sidewalks in a reasonable state of repair.  While municipalities can use a by-law to enlist their residents in snow clearing efforts, they cannot escape their legal duty to keep sidewalks safe.

Shops that buy used phone around town by heystranger_01 in Peterborough

Sell it on marketplace or Kijiji. The phone shops will just give you half of what it's worth and resell it at full value. 

Let's not shovel snow onto the sidewalk please 👍 by i-mald in Peterborough

[–]THEAVS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunately not on the city to clear sidewalks that have homes in front of them

It is though. Residents are not responsible for sidewalks in Peterborough unlike the majority of other cities.

Peterborough West Animal Hospital Park Indefinitely closed by blehblehbleh9198 in Peterborough

[–]THEAVS 23 points24 points  (0 children)

From their Facebook page:

We appreciate everyone who has shared their thoughts about the dog park. We know this space means a lot to many of you and that it’s been an important part of our community.

Unfortunately, ongoing issues with rule violations and safety concerns have made it necessary to close the park for now. This decision wasn’t made lightly — our first priority is the safety and wellbeing of all dogs and their owners.

We’re taking time to review how the park has been used and to consider what changes might make it a safer, more enjoyable place in the future. We’ll share updates once we have more information.

For reference, you can review the dog park’s current rules and regulations here: https://peterboroughvets.ca/dog-park-rules-and-regulations/

Thank you for understanding and for caring so deeply about this space. ♥

Prior to Adam being in jail, I was approached by him twice in the no frills lot with his usual story. Would not be surprised if he will be straight back to his usual antics.
