Your City Hall week was all about 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 immediately see on the surface. This past week at City Hall, the conversations kept circling back to a pretty foundational need: shelter.
### A Roof Over Our Heads
Council spent a lot of time on housing. We're talking about everything from the pressing need for more affordable places to live to the nuts and bolts of accessibility. It’s not just about building new houses; it’s about making sure everyone, regardless of their path, can find a place that truly feels like home in the Electric City.
* Discussions on new housing developments to address the growing demand. * Focus on increasing the stock of accessible housing options. * Conversations around supporting initiatives that help those without shelter.
We saw a lot of focus on ensuring that as our city grows, we don't leave anyone stranded upstream. It’s a profound conversation, really, about what it means to belong here, by the Otonabee.
This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
