Calderwood, who has been a police officer here since 2004, is a member of the Pedal for Hope, which he joined after losing his father to cancer.

teams in the annual United Way hockey game. Calderwood was chosen as one of Peterborough's "Most Fascinating People" last year by local radio station The Wolf 101.5. People have been raving about his impact in the community. Calderwood is expected to recover.
