City of Peterborough Releases Details On Miskin Law Community Complex Seat and Bench Donor Program

As part of the community fundraising campaign to support the construction of the Miskin Law Community Complex on Lansdowne and Park streets, residents can make a donation that will be recognized with their name put on a seat and/or bench in the facility, announced on Wednesday.

Groups that use City arenas are engaging with the community to seek seat and bench donors. Funds raised will support the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the building.

The Seat and Bench donor campaign is now open and will run until Dec. 31. Donations can be made through the online form at peterborough.ca/HaveASeat. The City of Peterborough will issue a charitable tax receipt for your full donation amount and email it upon payment and completion of the form. In-person donations may also be made at City Hall, 500 George St. N.

Every seat donation will be recognized with a printed nameplate installed on the front of one of the fixed arena seats, and every bench donation will be recognized with a printed nameplate at either end of a fixed bench in the arena.

500 fixed seats and 20 fixed benches will be installed at the new Miskin Law Community Complex. Each pad will have 250 seats and 10 spectator benches.

Each seat donation is $250 and each bench donation is $1,000.

Once the Seat and Bench donor campaign closes, the City will print and install all the seat recognition plates at the facility in 2025.

The City’s newest community complex is nearing completion, with construction on target to be completed this fall. When construction is completed, there will be a brief period to prepare the facility for public use including facility operations training for staff, before the facility moves to full operations.

Donations can be made online.
