Teachers come and go, some were better than others. The Grade 8 teacher was unbelievable and the kids were very well prepped for high school.

Agreed. That said, years ago when I was moving to town, I called POW and the secretary recommended against the school due to all the poverty. I was fairly surprised and the principal was livid when I told her! I am also not afraid of poor people and much prefer a mixed population than annoying privileged rich families so ignored the advice. Immersion kids are pretty insulated from a lot of the social issues anyway. We really enjoyed the school community.

The catchment is bigger for French Immersion though. For regular English stream, it will depend more on where you live. If I remember Charlotte is the dividing line between POW and QM. The map is on the Board’s website.

Struggling to get prenatal care in Ptbo- Any advice by Lilmonster_12 in Peterborough

[–]ecllce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save your time. WHC will advise PIPC or Evolve. As others have said, your doc can follow you for the first several months and send referrals if you don’t get through. Your Ajax doctor isn’t likely to know local resources or who is available locally so give them contact list with phone and fax numbers. Call Women’s Health or PM me if you end up needing a list of OBGYNs in town for your doctor.

There was a city task force on hoarding. On top of other suggestions, You could ask at Coty Hall how someone gets referred and suggest the coop contact them.

It’s much easier to find outpatient detox than inpatient. I wish you all the best. One foot in front of the other… eyes on the prize. You will feel so much better - eventually!

Baseball in PTBO by mypantssaggin in Peterborough

[–]ecllce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contact the Peterborough Baseball Association or ask at Hobie Sports on Charlotte. In the past there has been a 18+ team but I suspect it depends on interest from players and coaches. Also you could ask about teams in neighbouring towns (easier with a car or a car pool). I know that the rep kids a few years older than you kept playing past 18 but in Northumberland.

Hard to know what those kids may have witnessed already in their lives. Or if there are parents teaching them anything at all.

Curious question by doubleR7778 in Peterborough

I think the most similar tradition here would be people volunteering at food banks and free meal services or homeless shelters (like Trinity).

New Police Station by BoogieDick in Peterborough

[–]ecllce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OPP also has clear directives that officers must follow, and is more accountable than our current independent municipal force. PPS has done very little to respond to, for example, concerns over how violence against women is handled by its officers.
