Your City Hall is really talking about home and the river.
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 on the surface. This past week, a lot of what happened at City Hall, and in our collective conversation, was about how we find shelter, both from the weather and in the broader sense of community.
It felt like the spring storms we’ve been having, the way the Otonabee River rises and falls, really mirrored the discussions.
Council and committee meetings had a steady rhythm of talk about:
* Housing affordability * Accessibility for all residents * Emergency preparedness for severe weather
These aren't just abstract policies; they're about keeping a roof over our heads and making sure everyone can navigate this beautiful place we call home, from the farmers' market to Little Lake. It’s all about finding our place in the flow.
This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
