Titled Song Gardens, the CD is not only geared towards kids, but local kids themselves play a starring role, singing along to [...]

In today’s world of e-mail communication, there’s nothing quite like opening the mailbox and finding a letter form a friend or loved one.

Like many non-profit organizations here in Ontario, Peterborough Green-Up applies to the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) for funding.

Last week I was at the Ecology Park with Cathy Dueck and Steve Guthrie from CHEX-TV. Once again it was time to shoot the Green Update segment that airs on CHEX-TV’s Newswatch at 5:30 show every Monday. We managed to squeeze it in between raindrops and nobody got wet.
Cathy and I chatted about how to [...]
