Based in @cityptbo.bsky.social the Hastings & Prince Edward Regimental Association Pipe Band are a vital part of the regiments military history. The pipes and drums inspire esprit de corps & community unity, especially on Remembrance Day. A special performance at the #Ptbo Legion, Branch 52 today.
First trick or treaters of the night are our neighbours who do a family costume theme every Halloween π
They are frightfully creative, and especially creepy this year!
I remember being so upset that I had to wear a coat over the witch costume that my mother made me. No room for underneaths π§
The poor little ghosts and goblins!
Not only is it windy, raining, AND snowing @weathernetwork.bsky.social in @cityptbo.bsky.social tonight but the @bluejays.com are competing for our Halloween attention too!

Yes, folks on fixed income, and those whose wages are outpaced by rent increases, very vulnerable to being forced out of their homes. So sad/ironic since tax increases can be used to keep people housed.
Yikes!! Thatβs way above the annual guideline for raising rent in Ontario. If municipal taxes have supersized that increase then other landlords are going to do the same.
I am so sorry π£
Thanks, Dylan. These pictures are very instructive. Iβm not sure why contractors are not required to sweep up the debris, and to install barriers to prevent carryover into stormwater drains. Environmental protection should be a mandatory requirement. We can do so much better than this!
This @cityptbo.bsky.social road micro resurfacing is a macro problem for the health of our waterways.
All of this loose asphalt is left to wash into our streams via storm drains.
Donβt we have better methods to protect the environment while fixing road surfaces?
Ideas @brenttoderian.bsky.social?
I canβt capture how beautiful the moon is tonight, but can show you how brightly itβs shining π
Cleaning and sorting donated books for our #LittleLendingLibrary this morning π
The kiddos are out of school now, so a great time, if you have gently loved kids and teen books at home, to drop them off at a neighbourhood or municipal library.
Always a need for large print books too!
Cool sunset at the end of a hot day.
Itβs been a spectacular week for seeing warblers in backyard gardens and parks, Jackie. Imagine theyβre loving the fruit trees you planted!
Sorry, bit misleading, and youβre right, those are ospreys in the first photo with the article and the osprey is the official bird of the City of Kawartha Lakes!
Great guess, Mary, but Peterboroughβs city bird is the Great Blue Heron!οΏΌ
Itβs World Migratory Bird Day! π¦
DYK that #Ptbo is a certified Bird Friendly City?
Can you identify our city bird?
Our community protects birds by:
π¦ avoiding pesticides
π¦ keeping ππββ¬ indoors
π¦ promoting habitat creation & protection
π¦ making windows bird-friendly
Great tips to help birds β¬οΈ
Beautiful night to be out in the boro!
Craig Robertson @ Jethros on Hunter (until 10 if youβre out and about) followed by more live πΆ
Happy weekend #Ptbo!
While watching some basking painted turtles, this mink popped out from between the floating logs with dinner!
Cool sighting on our Friday night walk π¦¦

Clear, comprehensive, integrated. Lots of support for protecting the local food supply, farmers, greenhouse growers. Lots of support for environment and women's / Indigenous / 2SLGBTQ rights built into many areas, not just token investments. He's an economist so I trust this budget to be achievable.
We need to fight tariffs & climate change together π¨π¦
Elbows Up for ClimateβοΈ
180+ municipal leaders, like @joylachica.bsky.social are calling on Federal Leaders to undertake 5 bold and achievable initiatives.
This should be a topic for the national debates tonight and tomorrow evening.
As many homes, farms and businesses are still without power, and we move into recovery and clean-up mode following the ice storm, our team is taking time to do the same.
Please stay safe around fallen trees and power lines. Remember to be kind and check on your neighbours.

#Ptbo #Transit
All routes remain suspended until the roads can be assessed. Iβll keep an eye on when they go out again.
Theyβre checking for obstructions, like fallen trees or power lines, or hydro crews working in the middle of the road.
Check before you go as there are a ton of places still out.
βΊοΈ As are you, my sassy, serial knitting, defender of Ptbo, friend! π
The @cityptbo.bsky.social has declared a state of emergency to aid recovery from the weekend ice storm. Tireless Public Works & Hydro teams continue to remove downed branches & restore power to homes & businesses π·π½ββοΈπ·π»ββοΈππ»
See www.peterborough.ca
Weβve done this before #Ptbo, weβve got this! #resilience
Us too, Julie, since last night. Looks like many areas in the city are still without power. Lots of extra clothes on this morning!#wearingAblanket π₯Ά
In Peterborough: Public Works (705-745-1386) can be called to report downed trees and branches on municipal property.
Beautiful, but deadly π₯Ά #ONSTORM this weekend.
No power and many broken limbs. Our poor trees π³π²
Stay safe, and thank you to all the Hydro One personnel who are out in slippery conditions responding to these massive power outages ππ»
