Your City Hall focused on spring storms and finding a home
Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire. It’s been a week where the flow of civic life felt deeply tied to the land and our homes.
Here's the thing about Peterborough: sometimes the biggest currents aren't the ones you see. This past week at City Hall, the conversations really gravitated around two significant forces: the unpredictable spring weather, particularly those intense storms, and the deeply personal quest for finding a home here.
The accessibility of our city, ensuring everyone can participate in the flow of daily life, also rose to the surface. It's about more than ramps; it’s about making sure the spirit of community is open to all. Discussions around housing stretched from affordability to the sheer availability of places to live, a current that affects us all in some way.
It’s clear that City Hall is trying to navigate these often-choppy waters, balancing immediate concerns like storm preparedness with the longer-term vision of a place where everyone can find their footing.
This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
