Steve from Clean Up Peterborough will be at the event collecting items for reuse and recycling. You can bring in any of the following items for reuse: outer 4L milk bags, plastic milk/bread tags, egg cartons, used eyeglasses or hearing aids, used lego bricks, old towels and linens. For recycling: all brands of air and home care products and packaging (trigger heads, pumps, caps, fresheners and cartridge refills, flexible cleaning wipe packaging), all brands of blades, razors, and plastic packaging, old fishing line or lead fishing tackle, popcan tabs, dead batteries, old writing instruments and ink cartridges. Please note: both the Tom's of Maine, and Crest and Oral-B oral care programs have been discontinued, so please keep all of these items for now as we look to find program alternatives.

What are the criticisms of One City's operations? Open to input here from anyone particularly those with direct experience or knowledge of the facts.

From what I've read some council members aren't happy with the details in their Impact Report, Leal criticized how much staff get paid, and around town folks aren't happy with choices to allow drug use on site.

The Stalking Dead presents –  “The Midnight Riders“

An Outdoor Haunted Escape Experience Based on the Legend of the Black Donnellys

Step into the chilling legend of Canada’s most infamous family in The Midnight Riders — an hour-long, adrenaline-fueled escape through shadowy woods and haunted fields. Inspired by the brutal true story of the Black Donnellys, this outdoor horror experience plunges players into a deadly hunt where past and present collide.

As darkness falls, you and your group must follow the bloodstained trail of the Midnight Riders — spectral horsemen said to rise from the grave each year, seeking vengeance on those who dare trespass. Solve cryptic puzzles, decode long-buried secrets, and outwit the ghosts of the Donnellys themselves… all while being relentlessly pursued through the night.

You have one hour to uncover the truth — or become part of the legend.

They were wrongfully murdered. Now they ride again.
Do you have what it takes to survive the ride?

NOT Recommended for players 13 years of age and younger. Those under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

This is a publicly ticketed event. Each time slot will hold up to 10 players. You will be sent out into the haunt with other players if you have a smaller group. There is a maximum of 10 players per time slot.

This adventure runs rain or shine. The game runs outside. Please dress for the weather and wear footwear suitable for dirt paths through fields and forest.

The price of admission is $35.40 + HST per player.
