It’s ‘Business, Laughter, and Happily Ever After’ at U4 Rooftop Patio Bar in downtown Peterborough

Imagine celebrating with your family, friends, or colleagues in an elegant open-air space, kicking back in a chaise lounge while sipping a hand-crafted cocktail and enjoying scenic views.

Now imagine doing all of that in the heart of downtown Peterborough. That’s the promise of U4 Rooftop Patio Bar, located on the roof of the award-winning Euphoria Wellness Spa.

When Euphoria owner Simone Dobson expanded her 10-year-old spa business into the historic building at 290 Water Street in 2016, she realized the rooftop would be an ideal location for a unique outdoor event space and, in July 2021, launched U4 Rooftop Patio Bar.

“We have a fully licensed bar and we include bartending staff for every event,” says director of operations Mackenzie Dobson. “We have an outdoor heating system to keep everyone warm regardless of the weather. We’ve installed a beautiful lighting system, and there is a state-of-the-art sound system as well.”

Along with all the amenities, U4 exudes an atmosphere of sophistication, luxury, and comfort, with its tastefully decorated private cabanas where guests can relax and socialize.

“On the conceptual side we wanted to create an inviting space that brings people in and keeps them here,” he explains.

Since opening last summer, early bookings for U4 came very quickly through word of mouth. Now, nearly a year later and with a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, U4 is already booking private events and weddings for the 2022 season.

“We are booking up, but we still have availability,” Mackenzie points out. “We encourage anyone in the community who needs an event space to reach out to us to discuss their needs and our availability. We want this to be a space where anyone can come to relax and enjoy a sophisticated private event in a beautiful and relaxing setting.”

Adding to U4’s unique charm is the fact it sits atop a historic building that once belonged to the Peterborough Canoe Company, which manufactured wooden canoes there from the 1890s to the early 1960s. A repurposed canoe on the patio pays homage to the building’s heritage. Along with U4 and Euphoria Wellness Spa, the building is also home to the Canoe Co. Café, a café and gelateria that owes its name to this important part of Peterborough’s history.

“Canoe Co. Café is independently owned with a license to serve Starbucks, and they also have the most delicious gelato in town,” Mackenzie says. “Students like to gather at the café, but it’s also great for spa clients who want to experience the luxuries of a coffee shop within the spa ambience as well.”

While U4 has already started booking weddings for the upcoming season, Mackenzie says dates are still available to book corporate events, birthday parties, and other private events — as well as more weddings. U4 is a popular wedding venue because, along with its elegant atmosphere and amenities, a full-service spa is located right downstairs.

“We really offer a perfect venue,” Mackenzie explains. “People can get their makeup and hair done on the spot, and then come right up after to enjoy this beautiful space and attend the event that brought them here.”

As an outdoor space, U4 Rooftop Patio Bar can accommodate capacity limits during the pandemic. At full capacity, U4 can accommodate 100 guests or more, making it a popular venue for weddings and large celebrations. (Photo: U4 Rooftop Patio Bar)

When it comes to weddings, Mackenzie says U4 is prepared to accommodate requests for the preferences and special touches that will make the big day even more special. Along with carefully curated wines and cocktails, U4 can also serve signature cocktails selected by the married couple.

“We always provide bartending staff for events, and we do have some of our own signature drinks that sell very well,” Mackenzie says. “Last summer our strawberry mojito pitchers were a huge hit. This summer we have plans to make a beautiful cocktail with purple gin.”

As an outdoor space, U4 has been able to accommodate the ever-changing capacity limits during the pandemic (when no capacity restrictions are in place, U4 can accommodate 100 guests or more). That flexibility has made it an ideal location for a wide range of private events.

Clients of Euphoria Wellness Spa can also enjoy U4 Rooftop Patio Bar when it's not being used for private events.  (Photo: U4 Rooftop Patio Bar)

Following its mantra “Together is a beautiful place to be,” U4 had a successful inaugural season last year despite the pandemic. Mackenzie believes the family-owned business will only see that success expand as pandemic restrictions ease and people are able to once again freely come together and celebrate — whether for a company party, a social gathering, or a wedding.

“Our business model is ‘Business, Laughter, Happily Ever After’,” Mackenzie says. “We’re providing Peterborough with a luxurious rooftop patio bar where we can host any type of event.”

As Mackenzie is quick to point out, U4 is not only available for guests of private events — clients of Euphoria Wellness Spa can also take advantage of the rooftop patio bar.

“The space is also open to clients receiving spa services outside of event hours,” he says. “So people can enjoy U4 while coming in for a massage. It’s truly the best of both worlds.”

U4 Rooftop Patio Bar is located at 290 Water Street in downtown Peterborough. For more information and to inquire about bookings, visit u4rooftop.com or email events@U4rooftop.com.

Both Peterborough men involved in Saturday convoy incident face criminal charges

A convoy participant slaps away the hand of a counter-protester who was blocking a dump truck from proceeding through the intersection at Brealey Drive and Stenson Boulevard in Peterborough on February 19, 2022. The counter-protester was arrested and charged under the criminal code with intimidation for blocking the highway, and the convoy participant was arrested and charged with assault. (kawarthaNOW screenshot)

Both a counter-protester and a convoy participant were arrested and are facing charges under the criminal code in connection with an incident at Brealey Drive and Stenson Boulevard in Peterborough on Saturday (February 19).

A small group of counter-protesters had gathered on the southeast corner of Brealey Drive across from Fleming College late Saturday morning, with the intention of frequently pushing the pedestrian crossing button to break up the so-called “Freedom Rally Convoy”, which had left Whittington Drive at 11 a.m. on its way to downtown Peterborough.

One of the counter-protesters instead decided to stand in the middle of the crosswalk to prevent convoy vehicles from going through the green light. While the counter-protester was attempting to block a dump truck, it moved forward, pushing him into the intersection.

A convoy participant subsequently confronted the counter-protester while he was blocking the dump truck and assaulted him.

Police officers eventually arrived at the scene to speak with the counter-protester.

Peterborough police say an officer was subsequently assigned to review and investigate the incident, which was captured on video by one of the counter-protesters.

VIDEO: Peterborough “slow roll” interrupted

As a result, a 34-year-old Peterborough man who was participating in the convoy was arrested and charged with assault. The accused man was released on an appearance notice and is scheduled to appear in court on March 8.

The 33-year-old counter-protester, also of Peterborough, was arrested and charged under the criminal code with intimidation – blocks or obstructs a highway. The accused man was released on an appearance notice and is scheduled to appear in court on March 10.

Police did not announce any charges against the driver of the dump truck.

Both assault and intimidation are hybrid offences under the criminal code, meaning they can be prosecuted as either a summary offence or an indictable offence depending on the seriousness of the offence.

The maximum jail term for a summary offence is two years less a day. As an indictable offence, the maximum jail term for assault is 10 years and for intimidation is five years.

A GoFundeMe campaign has been organized in support of the counter-protester “for his legal defense and any other fees he incurs while fighting this ridiculous charge.”

Freezing rain and rain expected for the greater Kawarthas Monday night to Tuesday night

Patchy freezing rain or rain is expected to begin Monday night and persist into Tuesday, with freezing rain transitioning to rain during the day.

There remains uncertainty as to exactly when the transition will occur.

Rain is expected to come to an end Tuesday night.

Hazards include possible ice accretion due to freezing rain, periods of heavy rain, and localized flooding as the frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb rainfall.

Peterborough-area skiers to cross-country ski for 24 hours to raise funds for mental health

Supported by Kawartha Nordic Ski Club and Wild Rock Outfitters, the 24 Hour Ski Marathon for Mental Health takes place on February 26 and 27, 2022 at Kawartha Nordic in North Kawartha Township.

A group of Peterborough-area skiers will be cross-country skiing for 24 hours during the weekend of February 26th to raise funds for mental health.

Taking place at Kawartha Nordic Ski Club, located off Highway 28 just north of Haultain in North Kawartha Township, the 24 Hour Ski Marathon for Mental Health will raise funds for the new Mobile Mental Health and Addictions Clinic overseen by the Canadian Mental Health Association Halliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (CMHA HKRP).

Supported by Kawartha Nordic and Wild Rock Outfitters, the idea for the fundraiser came from Wild Rock staff member and Kawartha Nordic board member John Hauser.

“I lost a cousin to suicide during the pandemic,” Hauser says. “I’ve also personally felt the toll of the pandemic on my own mental health, as I believe many others have. After speaking with Jeff Cadence and Jack Vietch at CMHA HKPR about the mobile mental health and addictions clinic, I felt this was a project I would like to get behind.”

Hauser and his support team from Wild Rock will set up camp near the Sugar Shack at Kawartha Nordic Ski Club, with the marathon ski running from noon on Saturday, February 26th to noon on Sunday, February 27th.

While no additional participants can join the ski, skiers visiting the club can drop by to see how the marathon is going. You can also follow the marathon on Instagram @24forcmhahkpr.

“When I first started talking with people about doing a 24 hour cross-country ski as a mental health fundraiser, I think many thought I wasn’t thinking straight,” Hauser says on Instagram. “Sure, it will be a challenge, but the thing is, I love skiing! It gets me outside exercising regularly in the winter, which is a time of year when I am personally prone to feeling down.”

“Regular activity and getting outside are two of the most recommended things to do for better mental health,” he adds. “Get out there!”

CMHA HKRP’s Mobile Mental Health and Addictions Clinic will provide specialized mental health and addictions care to individuals in rural and remote areas within the city and county of Peterborough, Northumberland, Haliburton, and Kawartha Lakes.

To support the marathon ski fundraiser for the clinic, visit the CMHA HKRP website at cmhahkpr.ca/get-involved/donate/ and make a donation to the “24 Hour Ski Marathon for Mental Health” fund.

Counter-protest against Peterborough ‘slow roll’ vehicle convoy turns confrontational

A counter-protester against the "slow roll" vehicle convoy in Peterborough on February 19, 2022, was pushed into the intersection of Brealey Drive and Stenson Boulevard after standing in the crosswalk attempting to block vehicles from going through the green light. Shortly after, a convoy participant potentially assaulted the counter protester. (kawarthaNOW screenshot)

An attempt to interrupt a “slow roll” vehicle convoy in Peterborough on Saturday (February 19) turned confrontational, according to a video posted on social media, with a dump truck almost running over a counter-protester followed by a convoy participant potentially assaulting the same counter-protester.

A small group of counter-protesters gathered on the southeast corner of Brealey Drive at Stenson Boulevard across from Fleming College late Saturday morning, with the intention of frequently pushing the pedestrian crossing button to break up the so-called “Freedom Rally Convoy”, which had left Whittington Drive at 11 a.m. on its way to downtown Peterborough.

The video shows one of the counter-protesters standing in the middle of the crosswalk, while recording on his phone, attempting to block convoy vehicles from going through the green light. A police vehicle heading in the opposite direction stops briefly in the intersection to speak with the counter-protester (the conversation is illegible) before driving away.

The counter-protester continues to stand in the crosswalk, with two pickup trucks driving around him to proceed through the green light. A dump truck then slowly heads into the crosswalk, stopping just before hitting the counter-protester. At this point the light has turned red.

When the light turns green again, and with the counter-protester still standing in the middle of the crosswalk, the dump truck sounds its horn and then slowly proceeds into the crosswalk, forcing the counter-protester to take several steps back. He puts his hand on the truck’s grill, and the truck continues to sound its horn and slowly move forward, physically pushing the counter-protester into the intersection, at which point the truck stops.

One of the convoy’s organizers, who had parked his truck on Stenson Boulevard , then approaches the counter-protester. As he tells the counter-protester what he was doing is illegal, another convoy participant suddenly appears, apparently coming from a vehicle in the line of traffic waiting at the intersection.

Holding his hands in the air, the convoy participant repeatedly pushes his chest into the counter-protester while repeatedly yelling “What’s the problem here?” When the counter-protester places his hand against the chest of the convoy participant to keep him away, the convoy participant yells “Don’t touch me! Get your fucking hands off of me!” before slapping the counter-protester’s hand away.

While this is going on, the convoy organizer ignores the confrontation while telling the person shooting the video, “We already have the police on board.”

Meanwhile, the convoy participant repeatedly shouts “Get off me!” as he chases the counter-protester, who is trying to avoid him. The convoy participant eventually chases the counter-protester out of the intersection, and the dump trunk proceeds through a green light.

Apparently undeterred, the counter-protester then returns to the crosswalk to block vehicles from going through the intersection. Within a few seconds, two police vehicles arrive. A police officer approaches the counter-protester to explain he is not allowed to be in the crosswalk unless he has the right of way.

“The officer came up behind us and stood away from the street on the sidewalk,” the person who shot the video tells kawarthaNOW, asking to remain anonymous. “He was perfectly reasonable and non-confrontational.”

After this point, the counter-protester does not attempt to block the crosswalk again. At least 50 vehicles participating in the convoy go through the intersection during the time of the video.

VIDEO: Peterborough “slow roll” interrupted

Late Saturday afternoon, Peterborough police issued a media release about the “convoy event”.

“Peterborough Police Service would like to thank the community for their patience today while officers were monitoring a moving convoy through the City of Peterborough,” police say. “By monitoring this event, police were able to ensure the safety of all members of the community which is the number one focus of the service.”

“Peterborough Police Service would like to reiterate that ensuring the safety of our community does not equal an endorsement of the action. Every day and every event Peterborough Police Service balances the right to peacefully protest with the rights of the community. In this instance, the group was closely monitored and there no traffic infractions.”

According to a source who asked to remain anonymous, police are investigating a possible assault against the counter-protester by the convoy participant.

In its media release, police only state “There is an incident at Brealey Drive and Stenson Boulevard that is being investigated.”

kawarthaNOW reached out to the counter-protester, who asked to remain anonymous, for an interview. He replied he was unable to respond as he was “at police.”

“Peterborough Police understands that these are challenging times and that a lot of people are frustrated,” the media release reads. “The Peterborough Police Service is committed to public safety and will continue to be.”

On Sunday afternoon, Peterborough police issued another statement to respond to social media comments about the video claiming people standing in the background at the entrance to Fleming College were police officers who did not take action during the incident.

“This is not the case,” the statement reads. “These were members of security at Sir Sandford Fleming College. Our understanding is that they were positioned at this location to monitor traffic flow into their property during the convoy.”

The statement adds, “The police investigation into the incident at Brealey Drive and Stenson Boulevard continues.”

 

The story has been updated to include Sunday’s statement from the Peterborough police.
