Your City Hall is really talking housing this week
Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire, flowing to you from the Electric City.
Here's the thing about Peterborough: the currents of conversation at City Hall this past week have really been about two big things – where we live and how we weather the storms, both literal and figurative.
We’ve seen a lot of energy directed at the housing situation. It's a persistent hum beneath everything else, a fundamental need that shapes so much of our community's well-being.
* **Housing Strategies:** Council has been discussing new approaches to address the ongoing need for affordable homes, trying to open up more pathways for people to find a place here. * **Accessibility:** Another major current involved ensuring Peterborough is a place where everyone can fully participate. Discussions around improving accessibility were prominent, making sure no one gets dammed up by barriers. * **Spring Storm Prep:** And of course, with spring in full flow, there’s been a lot of focus on our readiness for those unpredictable storms that can spill over the banks, impacting homes and infrastructure.
It’s about making sure the waters of civic life run clear and accessible for all of us, no matter what the weather brings.
This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
