The Bonnerworth Park redevelopment was once again on the agenda at Peterborough City Council due to a motion brought forward by Town Ward Councillor Joy Lachica which asked once more for Council to be given final approval for the new park which includes a renovated skate park, a pump bike track, and—perhaps most infamously—16 pickleball courts.
Peterborough City Councillors have rejected City Staff’s suggestion of scrapping the City’s Canada Day Parade in favour of re-investing the $20,000 cost into other festivities on the holiday. Councillors also gave preliminary approval to designating the J.J. Turner building on King Street as a heritage site and two housing developments in the City's West End.
Two weeks after being told they would need a permit to continue handing out free food to the community, the Peterborough chapter of Food Not Bombs gathered again—as they have for over 18 years—at Confederation Park in defiance of the City’s threats to shut them down. This time, volunteers received warning that next week there would be no warning prior to police intervention.
Issue 3 arrives just in time for the holidays - when exam stress is at a peak and snow blankets the city making it even less pedestrian friendly than usual. As City Council weighs the relative worth of a human life, they're also faced with student demands for better transit. In the letters section, international students are sick of sexy bingos and demand action while a famous scientist writes about the lack of resources for STEM students in labs and libraries at Trent. Also, the debuts of new columns "Dear David" and "Cinevangelism." All this and more in the December Arthur!
Arthur is back for 2023! This month's issue contains an insert of reviews of films playing at this year's ReFrame Film Festival, coverage of local news events and City Council decisions, some hot takes on local thrift stores, and the return of treasured columns Dear David and Cinevangelism. Finally, Arthur's chronically unstable younger sibling TED is back in print. Beware, but enjoy.
Episode 11! We talked about the STIGMA that seeps from the pores of Conservative MPP Dave Smith as well as Police spending $185,505 (plus annual operations costs) to install 12 CCTV cameras in Peterborough's downtown, plus much more!
