PHS Speaker Series: A Life's Work on Ice: Preserving the Flooded F.L. Roy Film Collection
Join us Tuesday October 20, 2026 from 7:30-9:00pm for Bo Pickett’s Presentation ‘A Life's Work on Ice: Preserving the Flooded F.L. Roy Film Collection.’ Bo Pickett is a Peterborough (or at least Keene) local with a passion for film and photographic history. After getting his Bachelor's in History from the University of Ottawa in 2023, Bo attended Toronto Metropolitan University's Film + Photography Preservation and Collection Management graduate program, earning his Master's in 2025. Since 2018, Bo has been with the Peterborough Museum & Archives through repeated internships and short-term contracts, and is currently the Archives Assistant at the PMA.
Bo will deliver a talk on the subject of the PMA's current exhibit, "A Life's Work on Ice: Preserving the Flooded F.L. Roy Film Collection", which was itself based on his 2025 major research project to complete his Master's in Film Preservation at TMU. His talk will trace the history of the films, from their creation by local photographer-filmmaker F.L. Roy, to their ordeal in the 2004 flood, and ultimately the project designed to preserve and restore the films for future audiences. Accompanying the talk will be a presentation of one of the restored films, with a demonstration of how restoration tools can be used to reverse damage and decay to motion picture film.
The Peterborough Historical Society monthly speaker series takes place on the third Tuesday of September, October, November, January, February, March, and May. The meetings are being held at the Lions Club Centre on Burnham Street, starting at 7:30. Members, guests, and the general public are welcome.

Shub (formerly known as DJ Shub) is a Mohawk artist, producer, and composer from Six Nations of the Grand River, and the pioneer behind the powwow-step genre. A former member of the JUNO-winning A Tribe Called Red, he helped define a new era of Indigenous electronic music with the breakout track "Electric Pow Wow Drum," now exceeding 25 million streams. His acclaimed 2020 debut album War Club cemented his reputation as one of the most vital voices in Indigenous music, winning the 2022 JUNO for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year and performing his title track featuring Snotty Nose Rez Kids on the live broadcast that same year. With Heritage, a two-part body of work and the most ambitious project of his career, Shub has created his most complete statement yet. Raw, genre-defying, and deeply rooted in culture, the two albums together form a full autobiography, weaving electronic, hip-hop, and powwow energy into something that belongs equally in a club, at a festival, or in someone's headphones. Anchored by bucket-list collaborations and a commitment to bringing Indigenous music to the biggest stages in the world, Heritage Part One and Two are unmistakably Shub.
Handsome Tiger, an Anishinaabe Métis and North African music producer/DJ hailing from Turtle Island and currently based in Vancouver, BC, blends traditional sounds from his heritage with other Indigenous and contemporary electronic bass music. A familiar face in the West Coast music community, Handsome Tiger has performed at numerous shows and amassed a collection of releases. With a passion for bass music, he actively supports and contributes to Vancouver's underground scene and has gained popularity in the North American festival circuit, appearing at events such as Bass Coast, Shambhala, Envision, Lightning in a Bottle, Mutek, Texas Eclipse, and more. His DJ sets fuse various flavors of sound system culture and global club sounds, igniting dance floors wherever he performs.

Roy Studio Film Gala
The Peterborough Museum & Archives (PMA) is pleased to announce that tickets for the Roy Studio Film Gala go on sale at noon on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
Tickets will be available through the Market Hall Box Office or online at markethall.org.
Presented by CIBC Private Wealth, Schiller Investment Group, the special fundraising Roy Studio Film Gala will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 8, 2026 at the Market Hall Performing Arts Centre, 140 Charlotte St.
Guests will enjoy an exclusive first look at newly restored archival films captured by local filmmaker Frederick Lewis Roy, featuring footage documenting life, people, and landmarks in Peterborough and the surrounding region from the 1920s through the 1940s. The evening will also highlight the remarkable project that preserved these historically significant films after they sustained water damage during Peterborough's 2004 flood.
In 2025, the Roy family formally gifted the films to the PMA, which partnered with Bo Pickett, Master of Arts student, Toronto Metropolitan University, to undertake an ambitious preservation project. Together, the team developed an innovative process to safely thaw, clean, dry, digitize and restore the damaged films, preserving these important historical records and sharing them with the community once again.
"This project represents an extraordinary effort to preserve and share Peterborough's visual history," says Susan Neale, Director of the Peterborough Museum & Archives. "These films offer a unique window into our community's past, and we are excited to celebrate both the collection itself and the innovative work that brought it back to life."
The Roy Studio Film Gala will raise funds to support the ongoing digitization and preservation of the PMA's motion picture film collection, helping ensure these invaluable community records are protected for future generations.
In addition to the Gala, the Peterborough Museum & Archives will present an exhibition this fall from Saturday, September 19 to Sunday, November 1, exploring the film preservation process, and highlights from the film collection of F.L. Roy’s filmmaking career.

Advanced Portfolio Development at the Art Gallery of Peterborough

With guidance from art professionals, participants will learn how to put their portfolio together, refine their existing artwork, develop new pieces tailored to portfolio requirements, and learn how to present and talk about their work. Through focused skill-building, critical feedback, and creative exploration, young artists will strengthen their conceptual approach to creating a portfolio.
Develop your post-secondary portfolio with mentorship from professional artists and learn how to curate your work that reflects not just your skill, but your artistic identity and ambition.
Suitable for ages 15 – 18

Head of the Trent 2026
One of Peterborough’s signature fall weekends, Head of the Trent, returns to Trent University October 2 to 4, bringing thousands of athletes, alumni, families, and community members together on campus to enjoy rowing races, varsity games, and family-friendly programming.
A weekend of sport and community
At the heart of the weekend of activity is the Head of the Trent Regatta, hosted by the Peterborough Rowing Club. More than 1,400 rowers from across Ontario, Quebec, Western Canada, and the northern United States will compete in one of North America’s premier head races on the Otonabee River running through Trent’s Symons Campus.
With the Faryon Bridge revitalization underway, spectators can watch the regatta from other prime viewing locations along the Otonabee, including Trent’s Founders Walk on the West Bank of Symons Campus. The river side of the Student Centre is a primary hub of activity, including the Kids’ Zone presented by TD Insurance. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. families can enjoy free activities including inflatables, lawn games, face painting, and visits with animals. Kids can also meet Bluey and Bingo from 11 a.m. to noon and Paw Patrol’s Chase and Marshall from 1 to 2 p.m.
Beyond rowing action, Head of the Trent offers a full weekend of varsity sport competition. Fans can cheer on the Trent Excalibur throughout the weekend, with women’s and men’s rugby, soccer and volleyball in action.
Official Head of the Trent Merchandise, including the iconic souvenir HOTT mug, will be available to purchase outside of the Student Centre. All proceeds support the Trent University Rowing Club.
A range of food and drink options will also be available throughout the weekend. Saturday starts with a free pancake breakfast alongside health and wellness educational opportunities on the Upper Bata Podium. Visitors can also enjoy a range of cuisines at the food truck area near Bata Library, or visit the Ceilie, the only licensed location on campus.
Generations return to Trent
For alumni, Head of the Trent is an opportunity to reconnect with friends and celebrate Trent pride. Alumni celebrations kick off Friday evening with the Trent Alumni Rowing & Rugby Social at Justin Chiu Stadium, bringing together alumni from two of Trent’s longest-standing varsity programs to cheer on the Excalibur women’s rugby team alongside students and community members. Former Excalibur soccer players return to the field Saturday morning for the alumni soccer game.
On Saturday, the Alumni Welcome Tent at the Student Centre is the starting point for alumni returning to campus. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., alumni can activate their Alumni Perks app, receive $5 in HOTT Bucks towards Trent University Rowing Club merchandise, and collect an alumni wristband for special weekend offers, including 25 per cent off at the Campus Store and exclusive access to the Alumni Fan Zone at Justin Chiu Stadium. Alumni can also enter for a chance to win Trent swag and prizes throughout the day.
Champlain College will also mark its 60th anniversary during Head of the Trent, with an anniversary brunch, guided college tours, and a special Great Hall display featuring photographs, artifacts, and stories spanning six decades of college life.
Celebrate safely
Trent welcomes everyone to celebrate and participate in Head of the Trent programming on campus. The University works closely with the City of Peterborough, student unions, and local emergency services each year to support a safe and enjoyable weekend in Peterborough.

Peterborough Pride Parade + Pride in the Park 2026
The Pride March/Parade will be held on the Saturday September 26 from City Hall to Millennium Park in downtown Peterborough.
The Parade will begin at approximately 1:00 PM. The planned Parade/March route is approximately 1km and finishes at Millennium Park for the Pride in the Park event which runs until about 5:30 PM.
The theme for Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride 2026 is “Woven Together.”
We invite you to reflect on how we are all Woven Together, and what that means to you. Express how we are all Woven Together in your signs, celebrations, events, and protests! You can get creative with the theme by completing the tagline, “with ______.” See some examples below:
Woven Together: with love.
Woven Together: with art.
Woven Together: with resiliency!
The colourful threads of our identities and stories are Woven Together to build the vibrant tapestry of diversity, inclusion, and strength that is the 2SLGBTQIA Community. No thread is more important than the next. It is the unity and connection of each thread that gives us strength and visibility.
Woven Together reminds us that our community is deeply interconnected. When one thread begins to fray or is cut away, the entire tapestry is impacted. As 2SLGBTQIA rights continue to face attacks around the world through transphobia, racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, and hate, we must stand together and ensure no one is left behind.
This year’s theme is also inspired by the AIDS Quilt, a powerful living memorial to the lives we’ve lost to HIV/AIDS. Each square of the quilt is woven together to tell the story of a life and of those who refuse to let their story be forgotten. As we weave together our stories, we honour the ongoing resilience, love and empathy that sustain us, and we commit ourselves to a future of justice, safety, and collective healing.
The 2026 Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride “Pride in the Park” event takes place Saturday, September 26 at Millennium Park in downtown Peterborough (east end of King Street) following Pride Parade (roughly from 1:30 pm until 5:30 pm).
Pride in the Park includes:
Many amazing performers
Family friendly tunes.
Information booths from groups and agencies that support the queer community!
Vendors, and beer/beverage tent.
East Peterborough Lions Club Food Booth (burgers, sausages, hotdogs).
Family and Children’s Area with activities to help youth have a great time.
Fun for the entire family!
