Hannah Routly – Health Services Foundation
What three achievements are you most proud of since becoming the Executive Director at the Health Services Foundation in 2009?
“Our on-going volunteer program which helps to facilitate and support the work we do at the Foundation. We have a full roster of individuals. The fact we have people approaching us to volunteer speaks to how well run the program is.
We are the first Foundation to work with Family Health Teams. It’s a prime example of how the Foundation continues to forge new partnerships unlike any in the province of Ontario. At the same time, we remain true to and honour our Foundation’s legacy.
Now in its third year, the Peterborough Speakers Series is an event that helps to build awareness to the good work we do at the Foundation, while shining a spotlight on some exceptional contributors to our community.”

What is your idea of a perfect day?
“Every day I come to work in Millbrook is an ideal day for me. I love seeing all of the team and working closely with them. I particularly enjoy it when something challenging is happening. For me, it’s a sign Nexicom is growing and developing and striving to be the best.”
A Violent Peterborough
Imagine one morning you’re sitting at home, sipping a cup of hot coffee, and the phone rings.

Are you looking for information about the 2015 ReFrame Film Festival?
That’s right — “Still ReFrame” launches in advance of the film portion, with a reception at the Market Hall on Sunday, January 13th from 4 to 8 pm.
Using visual art to communicate social issues of concern, 11 artists and collectives bring their ideas to venues across downtown Peterborough.

ReFrame – International Film Fest in Peterborough
Are you looking for information about the 2015 ReFrame Film Festival?
It’s no secret that films of substance rarely get the public attention they deserve in Peterborough. Krista English and the ReFrame Film Festival have been working tirelessly to change that.
What began as guerilla viewings in cramped spaces has grown into the region’s premiere film event, and is increasingly becoming a draw to the area with many visitors travelling from Toronto and beyond.
Court awards school board $25k for legal fees
So the courts have decided, and Peterborough Needs PCVS (PNP) needs to pay $25,000 to the school board for legal costs associated with their legal battle last spring.
Luckily for PNP, that’s a far cry from the more than $180,000 the board requested.

Evans Contemporary
It’s not exactly a crowded landscape. Visual art is certainly represented here in Peterborough, but you sometimes have to look for it, outside of the obvious locations.
We have publicly funded spaces like the Art Gallery of Peterborough. We have an artist-run centre which is Artspace. We have private galleries like Christensen Fine Art and Gallery In The Attic, among others (which includes the various cafés which feature local art), which are more commercial in nature. All in all, it’s a smallish scene — but rich with talent and passion.
New to the local scene is a lovely space in The Avenues of Peterborough.
