What's up with Peterborough's quiet City Hall this week?

Your City Hall wrap-up for the week, Peterborough

Here's the thing about Peterborough, sometimes the current of city life just... slows. This past week felt a little like that — the usual flow of fresh civic data from City Hall was conspicuously quiet. It felt like the open data portal itself was taking a much-needed nap.

Despite that quiet hum from City Hall, a few currents did run strong through our discussions:

* **Housing talk flowed freely:** The Canadian Real Estate Association gave us some numbers that had everyone thinking about the journey to find a home here. * **The weather definitely made waves:** We had that significant winter storm warning, reminding us how quickly the Otonabee can overflow, even in April. * **A data drought:** The lack of new civic data meant some usual updates were simply not there, creating a bit of a dam in our information flow.

It’s a reminder that even when the official channels are still, the life of our city keeps moving.

This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
