Peterborough Area Roller Derby Returns After Two-Year Hiatus

The skates are being strapped on again as Peterborough Area Roller Derby kicks off their season with their first roller derby match since March 2022 announced Monday night.

The PARD last match was a win against Durham Region Roller Derby’s DRRD’y Farmers in March 2020, just a week before the world closed down. File Photo.
