Kim and Jeff MacDonald run The Stonehouse Hall, located in the Peterborough Curling Club on Lansdowne Street West. During the Covid shutdown, their kids, Hannah and Jailea got bitten by the entrepreneurial bug, so the family started Roadside Greetings, offering everything from special occasion lawn signs to boat graphics, custom business signs and car decals. Now that The Stonehouse Hall can start to reopen, the kids are taking over the business, and Kim and Jeff are busy preparing frozen dinners, and a Thursday special for take-out or delivery. All the details are at roadsidegreetings.ca or thestonehousehall.ca.

Bennett's Lawn Maintenance is Mitchell Bennett’s new business. Mitchell is ready to serve the community with grass cutting and trimming, help around the garden with weeding, general clean up and garden maintenance, and winter sidewalk and driveway snow shoveling. Covering the City of Peterborough, Mitchell is another young hard-working entrepreneur, so give him a call at 705-927-0970.

Finally, this Saturday, August 1st, the mandatory face covering policy comes into effect. I personally am 100% in favour of it, simply because it helps. Support for the Policy in Canada is 80% in favour, 20% against. Here is my take on it. If you can’t wear a mask, you should be accommodated. If you simply won’t wear a mask, you shouldn’t be. It’s the business owners and their employees who will be on the front line of this come Saturday, and you can thank those same businesses who have been providing a safe service, and the public health policies that have resulted in pretty much a month with zero new cases… If we don’t keep our distance, don’t follow advice, party it up, and not wear a face mask, we’ll get a second wave and a second shut down. So, let’s not screw it up….
