Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring East City Condo, DBIA, Kawartha Gymnastics and Living Well Senior Showcase

PTBOCanada is delighted to be running the Business Beat columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

TVM Group has opened its new nine-storey East City Condo building at the corner of Armour Road and Hunter Street East, on the former St. Joseph’s Hospital property.

They refer to it as rivalling Toronto’s most upscale offerings. The building features a contemporary interpretation of the original hospital legacy with masonry architecture. The site of the new building was formerly a parking lot. Parking is underground and includes a host of electric vehicle chargers. Find out more and book a tour at eastcitycondos.com.

The Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area has a new location and a new executive director.

The organization has moved into the Venture North building at 270 Water St. into unit 202A. They have also hired Nour Mazloum as their new executive director, taking over from Terry Guiel who left the organization in the fall. Nour brings experience and expertise from her time at Kingston Economic Development Corporation where she has worked for the last five years including the last two years as the marketing and communications manager.

Kawartha Gymnastics has a new location scheduled for a grand opening on June 15.

The new location is at 1575 Chemong Rd. in Peterborough. At 14,500 square feet, it’s twice the size of the old location. This new, bigger location will allow them to reconfigure the floor plan, enhance their equipment and training environment, and expand their programming and membership. The new building is going through some upgrades including a 30 by 20 in-ground foam pit.

The Living Well Senior Showcase is almost here.

Join us June 19 at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre for one of the largest seniors trade shows in Canada, featuring more than 100 exhibitors and two dozen workshops. Some booth spaces are still available for local businesses looking to participate. Chamber of Commerce membership is not required.
