Penny on the Roof In Support Of Breast Cancer Treatment at PRHC

May 19, 2012/ PTBOCANADA

We dropped by Sears to give our support to Penny Parent who is on the roof to support Breast Cancer Treatment at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. Penny's stay on the roof is all part of a fundraiser called Peterborough Cares founded by Camille Parent. The idea behind this was to have fundraisers going on throughout the city on one simultaneous weekend. Paul Rellinger has been on the roof of The Brick this weekend in support of Habitat For Humanity, as well as events taking place at Morello's Independent for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada, and Wal-Mart in support of the Canadian Red Cross.

No Spring Peterborough Police Auction This Year

May 17, 2012/ PTBOCANADA

Each year, there are two Peterborough Community Police Auctions where seized items are sold off (including numerous bicycles) and the money earned goes toward a number of charitable causes.

This year, however, there weren't enough items to warrant an auction, so there will only be the fall event on Saturday, September 15th, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. in the rear parking lot of Police Headquarters at 500 Water Street.
