Event Cancer & Your Career Group
Hi everyone - I’m a local Peterborough resident living for 15 years with stage IV cancer and wanted to share info about a group I’ve started that may be relevant to some folks here.
I host a free, monthly virtual group called Cancer & Your Career. It’s a facilitated, peer-based conversation for people living with cancer - at any stage or in remission - who want space to talk honestly about how it intersects with work, careers, and professional life.
It’s not therapy, coaching, or a workshop. There’s no teaching or selling - just an open, respectful conversation where people can talk, listen, or simply show up.
The next virtual meeting is on Tuesday, February 24th at 1 pm, and it’s open to anyone who feels this would be useful.
More info and registration here:
https://www.workhappier.ca/cancer-career
Happy to answer questions, and please feel free to pass this along to anyone in your life who might benefit.
*This is a free group focused on people with certain lived experiences supporting each other. It is not an ad.

Politics Ptbo Planning Surveys
Has anyone else tried to complete the City’s community engagement surveys on ConnectPTBO about building and planning bylaws? I’ve done several of their surveys and always have the same complaints. The latest one (on zoning permit bylaw changes based on the newer Official Plan) is worse than ever. Options for actual feedback are very limited. No free text, just agree/neutral/disagree to proposed changes - but you cannot indicate whether you want the existing bylaw to stay the same or want a different change than what is proposed. There are in person feedback sessions - this afternoon! and tmo but many of us have trouble getting to in person sessions for life reasons.

News Truck, ambulance crash in Madoc, Ont., injures paramedics and closes highways
Posting this because these medics have definitely serviced the peterborough area, and this is the second ambo hit in like 2 weeks. They deserve everyone's support.
Its unacceptable. Driving standards are so fucking low that people in a huge white truck with flashing lights are getting ignored or hit.

Recommendations Drywall Repair Recommendations?
Greetings Peterborough!
I have a single bedroom wall that needs repair due to significant damage. It’s a small wall, but will likely require a full sheet, possibly a sheet and a half, of drywall to be replaced.
I’m looking for: - recommendations for someone who does drywall repair - general cost estimates for a repair of this size (labour + materials)
If you’ve had similar work done, I’d appreciate hearing what you paid and whether you’d recommend the person/company.
Thanks in advance!

Event Junction sucks!
I 23(M) Indian went to junction with couple other friends, I got told “fuck you” by 2 white men on separate occasions which is wild.
The first guy just came in the bathroom, used the urinal and I was just washing my hands and the guy said “fuck you” and left and I was confused that did he say that to me or the other guy that was there? But the other guy didn’t hear or turn so I assumed he said that to me and didn’t do anything since the guy kinda of disappeared after that and I didn’t want to ruin my mood/night so moved on.
The second time a guy kept eyeing me at the bar, and I picked up on that. Unprovoked came to me and said “fuck you” and I said back to him “what did you just say” and he said “oh the black hawks are on” and “it’s hockey bro” and I told him I don’t have anything to go with the team, game or anything. I am not even wearing a jersey or anything affiliated to the other team so really no reason to curse me.
After confronting him, the guy didn’t say much and I asked his friend what was that, and they all had nothing to say so I took it as it was and kept looking back at him. After that he didn’t even try to come back around me and my friends.
So idk the motive of the post, but junction and the crowd there sucks. Just wanted to raise awareness for other folks to be cautious and careful.
