Smash Courts Pickleball Court and Sports Store is open at 799 Erskine Ave.

The pickleball and multi-sport court is available 24 hours a day through an online reservation system. They also have a dinking court and pickleball machine available for hourly rental. The store has all your top-of-the-line pickleball paddles, court shoes and accessories. They’ve recently been announced as an official Lululemon retailer. Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in Canada right now. Try it out by booking some court time and get the gear you need at their new sports store.

Want to see the stunning fall colours from the water?

Le Boat is extending its cruising season on the Trent-Severn Waterway through to Oct. 31, providing more opportunities to experience the breathtaking fall colours on Ontario’s picturesque waterway. Fall cruise highlights includes taking in tranquil Rice Lake, known for its fishing and traveling 56 km from the Le Boat base to the quaint community of Hastings at Lock 18. Book your experience at leboat.ca.

Dan Joyce Clothing is on the move!

After many years in downtown Peterborough at 87 Hunter Street, they are heading to 1525 Chemong Rd., right beside Shop The Lake. Dan Joyce Clothing has evolved as a beloved name in women’s fashion, crafting simple and timeless wardrobes that empower women. In 2022, owner Nancy Wiskel opened a second location in Apsley that offers relaxed casual styles. In the meantime, drop by the downtown location for some great deals and quality fashion. The Local Show is back on Sept. 14 for its second year.

Hosted by the Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce at Lansdowne Place, the show will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Local Show is an opportunity for new residents to see what the community has to offer and for longtime residents to rediscover what new businesses and services are available. Booths are still available for businesses looking to meet new customers with about 14,000 people expected to pass through the mall that day. Visit pkchamber.ca for more information.
