Based in @cityptbo.bsky.social the Hastings & Prince Edward Regimental Association Pipe Band are a vital part of the regiments military history. The pipes and drums inspire esprit de corps & community unity, especially on Remembrance Day. A special performance at the #Ptbo Legion, Branch 52 today.

First trick or treaters of the night are our neighbours who do a family costume theme every Halloween 🎃 They are frightfully creative, and especially creepy this year!

The poor little ghosts and goblins! Not only is it windy, raining, AND snowing @weathernetwork.bsky.social in @cityptbo.bsky.social tonight but the @bluejays.com are competing for our Halloween attention too! 👻 👹🎃 + ☔️❄️💨+ 💙🧢⚾️

It never rains on Pride Parade Day in Peterborough! Happy Pride!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💛🤍💜🖤 #ALLofUSorNONE!

This @cityptbo.bsky.social road micro resurfacing is a macro problem for the health of our waterways. All of this loose asphalt is left to wash into our streams via storm drains. Don’t we have better methods to protect the environment while fixing road surfaces? Ideas @brenttoderian.bsky.social?

I can’t capture how beautiful the moon is tonight, but can show you how brightly it’s shining 🌔

Cleaning and sorting donated books for our #LittleLendingLibrary this morning 🙂 The kiddos are out of school now, so a great time, if you have gently loved kids and teen books at home, to drop them off at a neighbourhood or municipal library. Always a need for large print books too!

Cool sunset at the end of a hot day.

It’s World Migratory Bird Day! 🦉 DYK that #Ptbo is a certified Bird Friendly City? Can you identify our city bird? Our community protects birds by: 🐦 avoiding pesticides 🐦 keeping 🐈🐈‍⬛ indoors 🐦 promoting habitat creation & protection 🐦 making windows bird-friendly Great tips to help birds ⬇️

Beautiful night to be out in the boro! Craig Robertson @ Jethros on Hunter (until 10 if you’re out and about) followed by more live 🎶 Happy weekend #Ptbo!

While watching some basking painted turtles, this mink popped out from between the floating logs with dinner! Cool sighting on our Friday night walk 🦦 @ptbonature.bsky.social @stewardsnotes.bsky.social

Clear, comprehensive, integrated. Lots of support for protecting the local food supply, farmers, greenhouse growers. Lots of support for environment and women's / Indigenous / 2SLGBTQ rights built into many areas, not just token investments. He's an economist so I trust this budget to be achievable.

We need to fight tariffs & climate change together 🇨🇦 Elbows Up for Climate❗️ 180+ municipal leaders, like @joylachica.bsky.social are calling on Federal Leaders to undertake 5 bold and achievable initiatives. This should be a topic for the national debates tonight and tomorrow evening.

Schools closed again on Tuesday, in Peterborough area

As many homes, farms and businesses are still without power, and we move into recovery and clean-up mode following the ice storm, our team is taking time to do the same. Please stay safe around fallen trees and power lines. Remember to be kind and check on your neighbours. #staysafe #icestorm

#Ptbo #Transit All routes remain suspended until the roads can be assessed. I’ll keep an eye on when they go out again. They’re checking for obstructions, like fallen trees or power lines, or hydro crews working in the middle of the road. Check before you go as there are a ton of places still out.

The @cityptbo.bsky.social has declared a state of emergency to aid recovery from the weekend ice storm. Tireless Public Works & Hydro teams continue to remove downed branches & restore power to homes & businesses 👷🏽‍♀️👷🏻‍♂️🙏🏻 See www.peterborough.ca We’ve done this before #Ptbo, we’ve got this! #resilience

In Peterborough: Public Works (705-745-1386) can be called to report downed trees and branches on municipal property.

Beautiful, but deadly 🥶 #ONSTORM this weekend. No power and many broken limbs. Our poor trees 🌳🌲 Stay safe, and thank you to all the Hydro One personnel who are out in slippery conditions responding to these massive power outages 🙏🏻 @theweathernetwork.bsky.social

The room is filling up fast at 151 King Street #Ptbo for @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social #liberal candidate for the riding of Ptbo-Kawartha. It’s a little bit crowded 🙌🏻 This is a person our community wants to hear!

Spring is the best time to witness the wonders of the hydrologic process. Powered by the sun, water is constantly moving through changes of state, flowing from ocean to atmosphere, rippling across the land, sustaining life. 🌱 🌎 💚

Well, that didn’t take long! Winnie has been reunited with her family, safe and sound thanks to some caring neighbours 🐾🐾 ♥️

This little cutie was on the loose today, found at the corner of Fortye and Stenson in the SW end of #Ptbo. No ID, but a neighbour is keeping her/him safe until the owners can be found. Please share and let’s get him/her home soon!

The side of an old hard hat - we heavily decorated & individualized them back in the day. The graphic is more relevant than ever, yes for unions, but also for global solidarity against bullying nations. We need to have each other’s backs. That’s what allies do.

Aargh, what to share for a first @bsky.app post! Going with this recent photo of an Eastern Screech-Owl who perched near our front door for a while & soaked up some sun. A rare sighting of a beautiful bird.
