Peterborough City Hall keeps talking housing. But what's new?

Your City Hall just keeps talking about home

Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire, flowing to you from the Electric City.

This past week, the currents at City Hall have been moving in a pretty clear direction, and it’s a familiar one for us here in Nogojiwanong. It was, once again, all about housing. It’s like a river that keeps finding its way back to the same bend, isn't it?

* Councillors spent a good chunk of time discussing new affordable housing initiatives. * There were also talks about zoning changes that could open up more options for different types of dwellings, moving beyond just single-family homes. * And, as always, the conversation touched on how housing is intertwined with the well-being of the river and the land we live on. Our homes aren't just structures; they're part of the wider ecosystem.

It feels like City Hall is trying to navigate the complexities of ensuring everyone has a good, safe place to live, all while balancing the natural rhythm of our shared spaces.

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