The June 23rd meeting of Peterborough City Council’s general committee saw discussions over a meeting package of over 900 pages of reports, consultations, and site plans for endorsement. Over the course of a seven-hour meeting, council discussed 14 items of note—only one of which passed on the consent agenda.

Monday, February 3rd’s meeting of Peterborough City Council dragged past midnight as council debated a Notice of Motion submitted by Alex Bierk and Keith Riel to create an emergency shelter to address Peterborough’s ongoing homelessness crisis.

Councillors returned from a month-long break on the evening of August 6th to convene for General Committee. On the agenda was the 2025 Draft Budget Impact Survey—a guideline brought forward by staff detailing different estimates of the upcoming budget impacts. This survey comes after the June 11th and 27th meetings, where staff presented budget information from each department, which council voted to revisit in August.
