During the August 12th City Council meeting, Councillor and co-chair of Housing and Homelessness Keith Riel proposed a deferral of several pre-committed projects to allocate money for affordable housing in the upcoming budget which caused a divide among council.
Councillors returned from a month-long break on the evening of August 6th to convene for General Committee. On the agenda was the 2025 Draft Budget Impact Survey—a guideline brought forward by staff detailing different estimates of the upcoming budget impacts. This survey comes after the June 11th and 27th meetings, where staff presented budget information from each department, which council voted to revisit in August.
Fleming College’s June 26th Board of Governors meeting saw three deputations advocate for the reversal of the 29 suspended programs announced in April of this year. The delegates, who are all graduates of recently suspended programs, spoke about the impact the program suspensions will have on the community, and called for more transparency around this decision.
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!
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!
Arthur is back in action for March and after a brual month full of all kinds of horrible slights and baseless attacks from the far reaches of campus we get to keep our funding for at least another year! This issue features everything from the profane to the profound and everything in between. In short, everything people have come to love (or despise) about Arthur is here within these pages. We talk about the most moving moments of the 47th annual Elders and Traditional People's Gathering to the academic ramifications for discovering you are indeed a cat. You'll also find the latest on what City Council has been up to and a review of some pertinent films.
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.
