On November 16th, the editors of Arthur attended a media tour of the modular home community on Wolfe Street. The changes to the site in the year since we have been visiting and bearing witness to the magnitude of the homelessness crisis facing our community are staggering and bring about a wide range of complex emotions and feelings about what is transpiring.
In what was to be a rather short and uneventful Council meeting in terms of discussion, Councillors were tasked with ratifying a number of significant items including granting their support for a battery energy storage project on Trent University’s lands known as the North-End Peterborough Storage System, which will be built by Atura Power on property leased to them by Trent.
Peterborough City Councillors re-affirmed their support at the November 27th Council Meeting for two initiatives previously given approval at General Committee after hearing delegations from community members.
Issue 5 features reporting on events centred around Black History Month both in Peterborough and Durham Region as well as a host of local community arts, culture, and politics stories - including the unveiling of the new crest for Gidigaa Migizi College during this year's Elders and Tradsitional People's Gathering. FInally, as things ramp up for the TCSA's spring elections, we're hopeful that students will make informed decisions on the questions the Association is asking them to vote on, again.
New Year, same paper. Arthur is back for 2024 and we have partnered with ReFrame Film Festival as an Official Media Partner. This edition features a special centre spread filled with reviews of films appearing at this year's festival. Issue 4 also tackles issues of interest to the public including the purchase of a new property for the Police, the perennial question of what constitutes a Canadian film, and also what is going on at Cleantech Commons?
With Issue 7 we bring an end to the 58th volume of this fair publication and what a year it was! This edition includes the culmination of a month's long investigation into the working conditions of dons at Trent alongside local news, arts, and events coverage. In addition, we mark the hallowed return of Alfred for the second year running. Newsflash: We've gotten worse. Reader discretion is strongly advised!
Breaking news out of The Borough this week: Hundreds of protestors showed up at City Hall to contest the 2025 Draft Budget, which could see funding to arts and social services cut to accommodate council's will of a strict 5% tax increase.
