A portion of the $1,732,762 transit funding provided by Ontario needs to go to retrofitting The City of Peterborough’s Transit fleet with proper barriers to protect drivers against rising assaults. No more assaults!!

Avi Lewis is coming to Peterborough! Avi is running to be the next leader of the Federal NDP. Please plan on coming out to support him and join in on the dialogue!

In Peterborough, people are feeling the weight of a system that’s failing them – from crushing rents and skyrocketing grocery prices to a strained healthcare system and a climate crisis already reshaping communities.
