Ren’s Pets, which is soon opening its first store in the Kawarthas, has pledged $25,000 worth of support to the Peterborough Humane Society’s new animal care centre.
The donation includes an annual contribution of $3,000 for five years towards the capital campaign for the new facility, currently under construction on Technology Drive, along with $10,000 worth of grooming equipment and supplies for the facility once it opens in October 2022.
Founded in 1975 in Oakville, Ren’s Pets is Canada’s largest independent retailer of pet supplies. On Tuesday (December 7), the company is opening its new store at 871 Rye Street in Peterborough, located in the Boston Pizza Plaza opposite Best Buy.

“Our support of the capital campaign to build the Peterborough Animal Care Centre is really meaningful to us,” says Scott Arsenault, chief executive officer of Ren’s Pets, in a media release. “Ren’s is here for your pet’s best life, and the Peterborough Humane Society shares that sentiment in giving pets their best to live happy, healthy lives.”
In recognition of the company’s support, the Peterborough Humane Society will name the grooming room of the new centre after Ren’s Pets.
“We’ve been looking to open a Ren’s store in Peterborough for quite awhile now,” Arsenault says. “We love becoming part of the pet community where we have stores, and our relationship with the Peterborough Humane Society will be central to that with our new store opening soon in Peterborough.”
Earlier reports that Ren’s Pets would be opening a store at Lansdowne Place Mall, in the new building where Sears was previously located, were incorrect. The company never intended to open a store there.
Sustainable gift giving includes consideration for greeting cards. Seven billion physical greeting cards are produced each year with annual sales of $7.5 billion and approximately 1.1 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Look for locally made cards, like these by Jeffrey Macklin of Jackson Creek Press (available at the GreenUP Store), which are printed on recycled paper without shiny or glossy materials, glitter, metal, or plastic adornments.

‘Tis the season for gifting. As the snow arrives, we are inundated with reminders to want stuff and buy things, both for ourselves and for loved ones.
According to Zero Waste Canada, household waste increases by more than 25 per cent over the holidays. Wrapping paper, ribbon, and gift bags contribute to this increase.
Each week, GreenUP provides a story related to the environment. This week’s column is by Kristen LaRocque, Coordinator of the GreenUP Store and Resource Centre.
But within that unsightly statistic, there is also a particularly sad truth: many unwanted presents also make their way to the landfill within six months of being received. Other gifts may last longer, but are still destined for landfill because they are not designed to be repaired or repurposed.
Changing personal and cultural gift-giving traditions is easier said than done. How can people talk about changing these traditions with friends and family without causing offence?
We can begin the conversation by acknowledging the reasons for giving: generosity, gratitude, and love — all these feelings can be tied to gift-giving decisions. We can affirm these same feelings as the common ground we need to become more thoughtful about reducing waste.
Shopping locally and gifting experiences (like passes for the 2022 ReFrame Film Festival) instead of stuff are both great ways to gift sustainably and support the local economy. If you’re looking for inspiration for local gifts, visit shop.greenup.on.ca to enter for your chance to win one of four Greener Gift Giveaway bundles, including this ReFrame Film Festival Bundle.

When we make space together for these constructive conversations, it is neither rude nor unkind to ask friends and family to make efforts to gift more sustainably. We can be honest about our love for sharing special experiences and waste-free consumable gifts.
Often, when we reflect on what brings us joy and adds meaning to our lives, many of us will call to mind an experience or a moment in time with loved ones or in solitude. When we share these joyful reflections with others, we can reach a deeper appreciation for what truly matters. By connecting to that joy we can then suggest specific experiences or activities that align with our priorities.
Another gift option to keep in mind is memberships. Local non-profit organizations like B!KE: The Community Bike Shop, the Peterborough Tool Library, or the Peterborough Potters’ Guild offer access to a wealth of tools and expertise as well as workshops. Even better, participating in these organizations can introduce people to new friends with shared interests in sustainable living.
Let’s assume you’ve had those conversations and you have a gift in mind for someone. How do you present that gift in a waste-free way?
The 5 Rs that Bea Johnston outlines in her book “Zero Waste Home” offer a helpful guide to more sustainable gifting: refuse inherently wasteful or unwanted gifts and packaging, reduce how much stuff you give, reuse what you have (especially wrapping materials), choose compostable materials (rot), and recycle by selecting products made from recycled material that can also be further recycled.

Presentation matters. A useful checklist for sustainably wrapping gifts is the 5 Rs of Bea Johnston’s book Zero Waste Home: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Rot (aka compost), and Recycle.
For example, you can start by refusing to use shiny foil wrapping paper, gift bags, and plastic ribbon, and reduce your consumption of materials that are destined for the landfill. Instead, use a fabric gift bag that can be reused again and again for years to come.
Dye-free craft paper, paper tape, and twine can be composted or recycled depending on your municipal waste guidelines. A textile, tied with fabric ribbon or twine, can be used to enfold your parcel. A beautiful tea towel wrapped around a beeswax candle or bottle of maple syrup, is one way to present a gift within a gift and avoid waste in the process.
Becoming a more conscious consumer also includes considering the whole life cycle of a product. How was it manufactured, what materials and energy were used, and what will happen to it at the end of its useful lifespan? For example, if the product is made of plastic, that plastic will persist in the environment for hundreds of years.

B Corp certification is offered by a third-party non-profit group called the B Lab, which holds companies legally bound to a high standard of ESGs (Environmental, Social, Governance). Other xxamples of prominent B Corps include Patagonia, Grosche, and Pela. (Photo courtesy of GreenUP)
One challenge that conscious consumers face is how to cut through advertising and greenwashing to identify if a product is actually sustainable.
Look for B Corp Certification. This certification is offered by a third-party non-profit group called the B Lab, which holds companies legally bound to a high standard of ESGs (which stands for Environmental, Social, Governance). Examples of prominent B Corps include Patagonia, Klean Kanteen, Grosche, and Pela. Find out more at bcorporation.net/directory.
Looking for the B Corp logo is just one tool you can use to discern sustainable products from greenwashed products.
Shopping locally is another thing that conscious consumers can do. Finding gifts locally can be both more environmentally sustainable and more socially responsible. Locally made products have a smaller carbon footprint than goods that require shipping from afar.
When you choose to shop at locally owned small businesses, more money is kept circulating in your community. Local business owners often purchase goods and services from other local businesses, which include retailers, service providers, restaurants, and farmers.
Presentation matters. When so much of the single-use waste produced at this time of year comes from wrapping and packaging, making the wrapping itself part of the gift just makes sense. These reusable bags sold at the GreenUP Store are created by local maker Marie Oliver using thrifted fabric. By purchasing locally made reusable items like these, you can cross two things off your green gift-giving list: shopping local and buying a sustainable product. (Photo courtesy of GreenUP)
The same is true of local artists and makers. These people make up the fabric of your community and like you, they pay taxes, access health care, and live their lives alongside you. Local business owners and artisans are more invested in their community’s future and are therefore more accountable.
Local business owners tend to support their local non-profits and charities. Local businesses like the Silver Bean Café, Watson & Lou, and Wild Rock Outfitters have donated to GreenUP and other non-profits. This support is then used to offer programming and services for little or no cost, which is truly a boon to our community. So, by shopping local, you are in turn supporting local charities.
This holiday season, and into the New Year, I encourage you to raise environmental awareness within your social circles. We need to create space to talk about the importance of waste reduction and the urgency of the climate emergency. These conversations themselves are a gift. By being honest and specific about what brings us lasting joy, we can also minimize the stress and uncertainty that sometimes accompany gift selection.
I wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and sustainable holiday season filled with enduring joy.

Ticket buyers must be 18 years of age or older and in the province of Ontario to play.
Half of all the ticket sales in the 50/50 lottery go the PRHC Foundation to support equipment and technology at the hospital that the government doesn’t fund.
With more packages being delivered during the holiday season, Peterborough police are cautioning residents to be on the lookout for porch pirates.
Early Tuesday evening (November 30), officers were notified of an incident in the Ravenwood Drive and Parkhill Road area in Peterborough, where it appeared a vehicle was following a delivery van.
At one point the driver of the vehicle hopped out and stole a package that had just been delivered.

In a YouTube video, community services officer Jason Cannon provides some tips for preventing the theft of delivered packages.
Cannon recommends making sure your porch area is well lit and to be available when the package is being delivered, or to make arrangements for a friend and neighbour to collect it.
Police also recommend using delivery notification options so you know when a package is being delivered, and to report any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood.

In the City of Kawartha Lakes, 70 per cent of food bank visitors cite social assistance as their primary source of income. This reflects the findings of Feed Ontario's 2021 Hunger Report, which has found that the use of food banks has increased by 10 per cent since the onset of the pandemic and calls on the Ontario government to address the province’s income security and affordability issues immediately.

Income insecurity is the main reason why most people in the City of Kawartha Lakes visit local food banks, according to Kawartha Lakes Food Source — a situation that echoes the provincial findings of Feed Ontario’s 2021 Hunger Report released on Monday (November 29).
According to the annual report from the collective of more than 1,000 food bank and hunger-relief agencies across the province, over 592,000 Ontarians visited food banks during the first year of the pandemic.
This represents an increase of 10 per cent over the previous year, the largest single-year increase since 2009. The proportion of senior citizens accessing a food bank in Ontario has grown by 36 per cent over the previous year, with senior citizens nearly twice as likely to access a food bank compared to adults under 65 years of age.

Ontario’s insufficient social assistance programs, precarious employment, and the lack of affordable housing are the primary drivers of food bank use, the report states.
In the Kawarthas Lakes, 70 per cent of food bank visitors cite social assistance — including Ontario Disability Support Program, Ontario Works, or Old Age Security — as their primary source of income, according to data from Kawartha Lakes Food Source. This compares to 59 per cent of food bank visitors provincially.
Seventy-five per cent of food bank visitors in Kawartha Lakes are rental or social housing tenants, according to Kawartha Lakes Food Source, and nearly 70 per cent are single parent or single adult households.
Feed Ontario found that over 60 per cent of food bank visitors have less than $100 left per month after paying for housing and utilities.
“Employment in the rural setting of the City of Kawartha Lakes comes with added transportation challenges and sparse childcare options,” reads a media release from Kawartha Lakes Food Source.
Feed Ontario recommends building a stronger social safety net by investing in social programs, aligning Ontario’s social assistance rates with the poverty line of the recipient’s community, and adjusting rates annually with inflation.

The Hunger Report also found that less than one per cent of those who visited food banks were receiving the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, which the federal government introduced to help those who lost income due to COVID-19. According to Feed Ontario, the $2,000 monthly benefit meant people did not have to choose between their housing and utilities and food.
“In order to ensure that food bank use does not continue to escalate, Feed Ontario is calling on the Government of Ontario to address the province’s income security and affordability issues immediately,” the 2021 Hunger Report states.
Kawartha Lakes Food Source — a not-for-profit central distribution centre in Lindsay that supplies food and other household essentials to member organizations that provide support to individuals in need — is endorsing the 2021 Hunger Report’s recommendation that the provincial government pass Bill 60.
The legislation would establish a social assistance research commission to ensure people with lived experience have the opportunity to advise the provincial government on the development of policies that will impact their daily lives.
“The food insecurity crisis is worsening,” reads the media release from Kawartha Lakes Food Source. “Your voice matters. Help bring anti-poverty platforms to the forefront of the 2022 provincial and municipal elections.”
The organization is also encouraging people to learn about issues in the community, educate family and friends, and advocate for policy changes by continuing local politicians.

Pink in the Rink, the Peterborough Petes’ annual fundraising game for the Canadian Cancer Society, will take place at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday, February 5, 2022, when the Petes face off against the Niagara IceDogs.
The Petes organization announced details of the 13th annual fundraiser at a media conference on Tuesday (November 30), including the naming of honorary co-chairs Doug Gibson and Meaghan Roy.
Gibson played three seasons with the Petes from 1971 to 1973, breaking Mickey Redmond’s goal-scoring mark and competing in the 1972 Memorial Cup final. Roy is Global Peterborough’s sports anchor, beginning her career at CHEX TV in 2007 as a part-time news reporter and becoming the station’s first female sports anchor in 2014.

The fundraising goal for this year’s game is $50,000, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society. There was no game in 2021 because of the pandemic, but the campaign still went ahead, raising almost $24,000.
Since 2010, Pink in the Rink has raised more than $812,099 for women’s cancer research through the Canadian Cancer Society Peterborough & District, making it the top fundraising event in the Ontario Hockey League.
This year’s jersey will feature the Canadian Cancer Society patch on the left shoulder and Petes’ alumnus Gary “Diller” Dalliday patch on the right shoulder. Fans can add the name of a loved one to be placed on the jersey, for $20 per name, by calling the Petes Store at 705-743-3681 or visiting gopetesgo.com/pink-in-the-rink-2022.
