Another great reason to design walkable communities!

We asked participants (surveymonkey.com/r/MGRMD3T) "What was the most valuable thing you learned on the walk?" One of yesterday's walkers replied "Jackson Creek is a powerful force of nature which should be given more freedom and respect in the city of Peterborough!" Well said.

After more than two years of consultation and activity on the development of the City of Peterborough’s new Official Plan, the draft document has been released for public review and feedback. peterborough.ca/OfficialPlan

Hunter-to-Simcoe Street Alleyway Revitalization Project — This year, we are working to beautify & revitalize the alleyway. We hosted a public design session with local residents, businesses & community members and identified opportunities and challenges of the alleyway.

Time out-of-doors is wonderful therapy & @PtboCounty Ontario Trails have so much 2 offer this time of year. If the children are getting antsy, explore a trail. Two walks this weekend & didn't see a soul, but did see deer, returning birds like red-wings, pussy willows opening #FreshAir

@kimzippel.bsky.social @PtboCounty Ontario Trails We ❤️ the trails and greenspaces in ptbo. Been out every day. Always waving and smiling to those we see. We do this because we care for our neighbours. #COVIDCanada #COVIDkindness #SocialDistance #SocialDistancingNow

For those of you wondering what you can do to help - Kawartha Food Share is asking for donations (rather than people power) at this time.

The health and safety of all our participants, volunteers, and visitors is extremely important to us so we will be postponing Doors Open Peterborough this year. We hope to have more updates soon.

A great big thank you to the local restaurants who have made the difficult decision to close their doors for dropping off food items today!! We really appreciate your support!

1/ Taking into account the rapidly evolving global circumstances, the Jane's Walk Steering Committee believes it is most important to avoid physically gathering together for the Festival in May. We know how hard City Organizers around the world work to celebrate this Festival.

2/ The Steering Committee supports any City Organizer’s decision to postpone or cancel their 2020 Jane’s Walk Festival. We also support any effort to creatively reimagine what the Festival could be if you distilled its essence.

3/ We have put together a short statement about our motivation for this announcement and cannot overstate our appreciation for your support of Jane's Walk now and in the future. janeswalk.org/in-response-to…

It’s Transit Driver Appreciation Day! Join us in celebrating our drivers who work hard every day to move people around the city. Share your appreciation on social media by tagging PeterboroughTransit and using the hashtag #tdad #tdad2020 - or share a smile and wave #irl 🙂 🚍

People are coming up with all kinds of creative ways to make self distancing easier. This looks like fun!

Tune in to CBC at 8:20am to learn backyard bird song's from Peterborough's Drew Monkman!

Early spring wildflowers now in bloom in Kawarthas. Coltsfoot along roadsides (dandelion-like). In woodlots, watch for hepatica & bloodroot blossoms & new leaves of wild leeks. @PtboNature #natureishealing #NaturePhotography
