What’s open & closed over the holidays in Peterborough & The Kawarthas

By kawarthaNOW -
Happy holidays from all of us at kawarthaNOW.com!

As Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day are statutory holidays in Ontario, all liquor and beer stores are closed, and government-operated offices and services are also closed or unavailable on these days. Most businesses — including malls, box stores, and grocery stores — are also closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, but are open on Boxing Day. Many businesses close early in the afternoon on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

Because Christmas Day and New Year’s Day both fall on a Sunday when government offices and services are already closed, the statutory holiday is observed on the next business day, so government offices and services are also closed or unavailable on Tuesday, December 27th and Monday, January 2nd. Also, many government offices and services close early on Friday, December 23rd.

For your convenience, we provide this list of 235 selected businesses, services, and organizations from across the Kawarthas. While we strive to make the information on this list as accurate as we can, you should call first to confirm hours if you’re travelling any distance (we’ve included phone numbers). If your business or organization is listed and the hours are incorrect, please let us know by using our content feedback form.

A sneak peek at the inside of the new Peterborough Public Library

By kawarthaNOW -

The Peterborough Public Library has shared a first look of the interior of the new library, slated for completion in the late summer of 2017.

The design rendering was created in collaboration with +VG Architects and Intercede Design Consultants.

“The objective with the interior space was to accentuate the existing curving design of the original architecture while transforming it to an open, airy and bright active community hub,” says Nicole Crabtree, Associate Partner at +VG Architects.

The Peterborough Public Library has been operating temporarily out of the lower level of Peterborough Square while the Main Branch on Aylmer Street has been under major renovations since June 2016. Now that demolition is complete, the construction of the addition has begun.

The integrity and shape of the building has stayed relatively the same, but everything else about this Peterborough landmark is being updated. From the new addition and glass entryway to the open concept design, the new library will be a flexible community space. There will be upgraded lighting, more windows and natural light, new floors, an updated HVAC system, and a number of new amenities which will make the library a bright and inviting space for the community to explore.

Seen in the image is one of the highlights of this project: the central staircase that leads down to the children’s area on the lower level. Accessible public seating wraps around the staircase, allowing patrons to use the library’s computers on one side, or sit comfortably enjoying a beverage from the onsite café on the other.

Visible at the far end of the image is the wall that once concealed the upper level of the library. It as been partially removed to create an inviting entrance into a completely re-imagined space. This upper level will be home to the Library’s new teen zone, the café, a new mid-size program room, and three smaller study/meeting rooms.

More details will be coming as the project gets closer to completion. You can see updates about the renovation project on the library website at www.peterborough.library.on.ca.

Building a wall of hope at the New Canadians Centre for newcomers to Canada

By kawarthaNOW -
Many of the message cards for newcomers were written by students at St. Alphonsus Catholic Elementary School School in Peterborough

“I’m very happy that you moved to Canada. I hope you feel very welcomed. I hope your future is very bright and happy. – Aurora, St. Alphonsus School”

This is only one of the hundreds of cards containing hand-written messages welcoming newcomers to Canada. The cards are being displayed on a wall at the New Canadians Centre (NCC) at 221 Romaine Street in Peterborough.

Many of the cards were written by students at St. Alphonsus Catholic Elementary School School in Peterborough. Ryan Brooks, principal at St. Alphonsus, explains the school’s connection to wrote the cards.

“We’ve had the good fortune to welcome three students from Syria to St. Alphonsus School,” Ryan says.

“When we heard about the Message of Hope cards the NCC were asking people to fill out, we thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to get the entire school involved,” he adds. “It’s been a rewarding experience for everyone involved and it’s our pleasure to welcome these newcomers to our school and to our community.”

Since the beginning of December, NCC has been distributing simple cards — displaying a hand-drawn image of trees, the sky and sun, and a house with the words “Welcome Home” — in the mail and into the community. NCC ask people to fill out the card with a message of hope and support to newcomers to Canada and to return them to the centre.

New Canadians Centre distributed the cards in the mail and in the community at the beginning of December and encouraged people to send them back with messages of hope and support

“For people who feel powerless in the face of what is happening in the world today, a few words of kindness can mean a great deal,” says Yvonne Lai, Outreach Coordinator at the NCC.

In early 2016, the NCC was designated a Welcome Centre for Syrian refugees. The agency has been involved with the resettlement of close to 220 refugees since that time, including many families with young children. The cards are designed to let people know the community cares about them, especially at a time when world events are so catastrophic.

Publisher’s Picks – Holiday plans for the solstice, keeping the kids busy over the holidays, and New Year’s Eve celebrations

By Jeannine Taylor -
Celebrate the return of the light on the winter solstice with the first annual Light Hunters' Promenade takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. on December 21st in downtown Peterborough (graphic: Atelier Ludmila)

As we head into the darkest day of the year, during one of the most challenging years for global news and developments, I feel compelled to bring some cheer to my column this week. The challenge with this is that I find the winter solstice to be disheartening and bleak. It’s my absolute least favourite day of the year. The only good thing about this day to me is that we turn the corner to my favourite day of the year: — the summer solstice in June, when we get 15 glorious hours of sunlight in The Kawarthas.

There are many who embrace the historic traditions of the winter solstice and to them I say: more power to you, but I’ll see you on June 21st. So to counteract my gloominess (yes, I’m a lot of fun at seasonal parties), I’ve reached deep into the kawarthaNOW.com database to find recommendations for these holiday days, including how to enjoy the outdoors and ways to keep the kids busy while out of school.

Celebrate the winter solstice

Unless you're in England to watch the sun rise between the stones at Stonehenge on the winter solstice, you'll want to head to downtown Peterborough on the evening of December 21 for a lantern-lit parade during the first annual Light Hunters' Promenade (photo: Mark Grant / Wikipedia)

I mentioned this last week, but since it’s actually happening this week and is a true solstice event, they deserve a second mention. Celebrate the winter solstice with Light Hunters’ Promenade, which takes place for the first time on Wednesday, December 21st and has all the potential to become a popular annual event.

Join Atelier Ludmila and friends (best known for their Artsweek and local outdoor theatre productions) along with local artists, drummers, performers, business owners, and a host of light seekers, as they create a paper lantern-lit procession through the streets of downtown Peterborough. This lovely and creative event takes place from 6 to 8 p.m., beginning at the Peterborough Square courtyard behind Market Hall. Bring your own lantern or meet them at 5 p.m. to buy a lantern of your very own.

The event is based on timeless ceremonies celebrating the return of the light on the winter solstice. Members of Old Men Dancing, Peterborough Academy for Circus Performers will join the procession. The event is free to the public, but donations are gratefully accepted (the suggested donation is $10 per family). For more information, visit the Facebook event page.

Keeping the kids busy over the holidays

We've got lots of indoor and outdoor events listed on our website to keep your kids busy over the holidays, including public skating

Let’s face it, when the presents are all opened and the turkey comas wear off, boredom soon sets in and every parent needs a plan. You might not be aware that our events database is constantly topped up and often boasts 900 to 1400 or more events at any given time, along with 1,200 or more venue listings. So my job this week it to point you to how to make good use of all that info! You can access all of our events columns here.

We’ve got lots of events for both kids and older kids listed in our Children’s Events column and our Youth Events columns — including public skating over the holidays.

Everyone likes to take in a film over the holidays, and we’ve got the only regional movie listings.

Skating anyone? We have, hands down, the most comprehensive listing of indoor and outdoor skating across The Kawarthas. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter feeds for updates on when canal skating begins at the Lift Lock in Peterborough.

If you’re excited about the snow we have this year then you’re likely to also be excited by many of the outdoor events we’ve got listed in our Outdoor Events column.

If you’re wondering about what’s open and closed over the holidays, visit our site later this week for our popular “What’s Open and Closed” list of holiday hours for over 200 businesses, organizations, and services across The Kawarthas.

New van is early Christmas gift for The Canadian Canoe Museum

By Bruce Head -
Museum supporters celebrate The Canadian Canoe Museum's purchase of a Mercedes Benz van, which will also include a vehicle wrap by Commercial Press & Design, a trailer hitch, and a 20' enclosed trailer (photo: Jessica Fleury / The Canadian Canoe Museum)

The Canadian Canoe Museum thanked community supporters today (December 20) for helping them raise funds for an early Christmas present: a new van to support the museum’s public programs and outreach events and to help the museum safely transport artifacts.

Back in October, The Canadian Canoe Museum had applied to the Aviva Community Fund for up to $100,000 to purchase a van, along with a trailer hitch, vehicle wrap, and enclosed trailer. Despite lots of local support for the museum in the online competition, the museum was competing with 240 other worthwhile projects and wasn’t selected as one of the 15 finalists.

However, the momentum and community support generated during the Aviva campaign continued and, thanks to the efforts of museum advocates, the museum had raised enough funds and support by early December to purchase a used Mercedes Benz van, with only 62,00 kilometres on it, along with supporting equipment and a vehicle wrap.

Funds were raised through the Beaver Club Gala Committee and donations made at the Beaver Club Gala through the Paddles Up initiative, topped up by a donation by Les and Beverly Cassidy, and with support from Mercedes Benz Peterborough and Commercial Press & Design (for the vehicle wrap).

This new equipment will make it possible for the museum’s on and off-water programming to become more accessible to schools, community groups, and the general public.

“This is a game-changer for our on-water programs,” says Stacey Arppe, the museum’s Volunteers and Public Programs Manager. “We can now transport our paddling camp participants and all of our canoes and gear with ease, and having this self-sufficient transportation means we can continue expanding our water-based programming.

Specifically, the museum would use the equipment to transport children to summer paddling camps, to take the museum’s educational programming and workshops to schools and other locations, to transport the museum’s public paddling fleet for use on-water, and to transport museum artifacts to exhibits at partner museums.

The van, trailer hitch, vehicle wrap, and 20′ enclosed trailer are valued at $60,500.

Take a day trip to historic downtown Lindsay for quality shopping

By Eva Fisher -

With its wide main street, historic Victorian architecture, and friendly shop owners, downtown Lindsay is a charming and vibrant day trip destination. And did we mention the free parking?

When you head to downtown Lindsay, we recommend building these two businesses into your itinerary: Kent Bookstore, an independent bookstore with over 5 million titles available, and Brittany n’ Bros, a fashion and shoe boutique run by a mother and her daughter.

Kent Bookstore offers millions of good reads from a historic Lindsay location

Kent Bookstore, located in a historic downtown Lindsay building, is an independent bookstore with a modern advantage. The cozy shop also has an impressive online presence. The store carries a wide selection of new and used books, as well as calendars, journals, greeting cards, and bookmarks.

A book lover’s sanctuary

With its hardwood floors and tin ceilings, Kent Bookstore has a sense of history as soon as you walk in the door. In fact, the building was home to the Lindsay Post for 100 years. Cheri points out that Kent Bookstore carries on a tradition at 15 William Street. “We’ve kept the printed word in the building.”

The shelves are full of books carefully selected by Cheri and longtime staffer Lisa Chomko. “We do a lot of research. We look to see what’s happening in the book world through different sets of reviews, our sales reps and our customers.” Cheri and her staff know the books, so they can make recommendations.

The book shop has a cozy, easy atmosphere. Cheri is rarely seen without her coffee cup in hand, and in the corner you’ll find coffee by ethical local coffee roaster Kyoto coffee. It’s the sort of atmosphere that you can only find in an independent bookstore. Cheri loves coming to work every day. “I like the people, the conversations, talking about the books. It’s a really nice atmosphere. This is my sanctuary.”

Bringing independent books online

For those who prefer the sanctuary of their own home, Kent Bookstore also has an extensive selection of books online. With over five million books available at www.kentbooks.ca, you can browse an incredible variety of titles, then pick them up at the bookstore. This includes a broad selection of used books. For these titles Kent Bookstore offers an ongoing deal: when you buy three you get the fourth book free. They also offer store credit in exchange for customer trade ins.

Local authors

Many local authors are represented at Kent Bookstore, including hard-to-find self-published titles. Cheri sees many authors come through her doors. “A lot of the local authors are self published, so they need to do the legwork to get their books into stores.”

The store has a local section, but Cheri will also feature these books by genre. “We have a lot of local authors. We feature them so that they’re seen.”

Kent Bookstore is located at 15 William Street in Lindsay. You can also visit them online at www.kentbooks.ca, find them on Facebook, or reach them by phone at 705-328-1600.

Brittany n’ Bros brings gorgeous footwear and Canadian and European fashion to the Kawarthas

Brittany n’ Bros has become an important name in fashion in central Ontario. With stores in Lindsay, Port Perry, and Cobourg, owner Tammy Thompson Letham offers a stylish selection of shoes, clothing and accessories that also offer comfort and durability.

“We want to make people look good and feel good about themselves,” Tammy says. “I get excited about that.”

The store began as a shoe shop, but since then has expanded to become a fashion boutique as well.

Who is Brittany?

The first Brittany n’ Bros store opened its doors in Lindsay in August of 1998. Tammy chose a name with a personal connection.

“I named it after my children, my daughter Brittany and my two boys, Christopher and Aaron.” Tammy’s daughter Brittany started working in the store after school and on weekends when it first opened. Now, after completing a business diploma at Fleming College, she manages the Lindsay location.

Footwear and fashion

As you walk into the Lindsay store, you are met with a striking selection of footwear: this season there is a selection of gorgeous leather boots, dress shoes, snow boots and slippers. There is a wide selection of Blundstone boots, a popular pick with their customers.

The Brittany n’ Bros team strives to find clothing that looks and feels good. Tammy says that they are always looking for lines “geared to comfort and fashion.”

Canadian companies include Sympli, a versatile line than can be worn for casual or dressy occasions, and Lola Jeans, a denim line known for its comfortable stretch.

Tammy often features less well known designers, like 3r Clothing Company, a Toronto-based company that makes legwarmers, skirts and ponchos from recycled sweaters.

The stores also carry a line with the Brittany n’ Bros label on it. For this, Tammy and her team get creative control.

“We pick our body shapes, fabrics and colours. It’s a line that we’re excited about.”

A growing bootprint

Brittany n’ Bros continues to grow, bringing their stylish clothing and footwear to more and more women.

Their Port Perry store moved to a new space more than triple to size of the old store in October.

Their Cobourg store changed location from a 1000 square foot store to 2000 square feet in April.

Tammy encourages you to visit more than one location. “They will carry some of the same lines, but different stores will have different products. Take a road trip.”

Brittany n’ Bros Lindsay location is at 109 Kent Street West in Lindsay. You can find them online at www.brittanyandbros.com and on Facebook and Twitter.
