Does anyone remember the “good old days” when the canal would be lined with families having picnics (bucket of KFC most often), watching the boats pass by?

CONGRATULATIONS to our fellow AMSG committee member, Steve Paul, on receiving the 2025 Civic Award for Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability from the City of Peterborough!

Steve’s knowledge, care, and passion for the environment and wildlife, along with his exceptional ability to bring people together and build community collaboration, continue to inspire those around him.

Over the years, he has contributed hundreds (if not thousands) of hours toward making our community stronger, healthier, and more sustainable.

As fellow AMSG committee members, we’ve had the privilege of benefiting from Steve’s deep insight, dedication, and leadership. We are so pleased to see him recognized with this incredibly well-deserved award.

Congratulations, Steve!
And thank you for all that you do!
(Including vacuuming Armour Hill - now THAT is dedication!)

We had so many enjoyable conversations on Saturday at the East City Yard Sale!

There was plenty of enthusiasm over our final, community-inspired design of the upper parking area of Ashburnham Memorial Park.

We also enjoyed sharing some WW1 era historical knowledge about the park, which always amazes people.

Thank you to everyone who came by and for your wonderful feedback.

A big shout-out to Ashley Bonner and her crew for organizing this amazing event each year - thank you for your hard work.

Visit AMSG at the East City Yard Sale (214 Munroe Avenue)

Come see the community’s creative vision for Ashburnham Memorial Park (Armour Hill’s deteriorating upper parking lot!)

This is the Final stage of our 2 year project: “From a Parking Lot to a Park”

Funded by the Rotary Environmental Innovators Fund and United Way Peterborough Neighbourhood Fund, with in-kind support from Basterfield and Associates Landscape Architects, this project sought to answer the question:

“How would you envision a change to Ashburnham Memorial Park, in particular, the upper parking area?”

It was our project goal “to promote the transformation of Ashburnham Memorial Park, into a safer, more inclusive and beautiful space for both people and wildlife”.

We are excited to share this new, community-informed concept with everyone as we work towards its inclusion in the 2027 capital budget.

Also at our yard sale table:
- Learn about Ashburnham Memorial Park (aka Armour Hill)
- Get involved in citizen science in AMP
- Join our 200+ strong volunteer community
- Share your stories, insights, concerns or ideas about Ashburnham Memorial Park
