Peterborough City Hall is talking about YOUR home.

Your City Hall Focused on What Really Matters

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 were about the deep roots of community. We saw council grappling with the ongoing flow of housing discussions, trying to find stable ground for folks looking for a place to call home in our city.

The other major current, one that always needs our attention, was accessibility. Ensuring that the pathways of our city are open and welcoming to everyone, that no one is dammed up from participating in our shared life, that's crucial. And, of course, the spring storms that have been flowing through our region reminded us of how deeply connected we are to the land, and how important it is for our city to be ready for whatever the weather brings down the river.

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