Changes to waste collection in Peterborough have received mixed responses from the City's residents, following the implementation of the Green Bin program, the switch to clear garbage bags, and other diversion tactics.
Arthur is back for round two with Issue 1. In this issue you'll find interviews with Stephen Stohn and the proprietors of Peterborough's newest independent bookstore, Take Cover Books.

Arthur is sooo back! After a rejuvenating summer sabbatical in the woods, Arthur returns just in time for the school year with more of the hard-hitting community reporting you've come to expect from this small but mighty rag. In Issue 0, you'll find articles by community members about the experiences of graduate students post-graduation, the pitfalls of corporate culture, and why Bata Library isn't so aptly named. You'll also find a veritable cornucopia of book and film reviews. This issue also includes a feature article on the Peterborough Museum and Archives' newest exhibit: "To Honour and Respect: Gifts from Michi Saagiig Women to the Prince of Wales, 1860.”
Issue 6 is your one stop shop to all the hot goss going on at Trent! TCSA VP resignation? Leo saying a swear? Another questionable election? You got it and it's all here alongside local news, arts, and culture from around Peterborough/Nogojiwanong!
