Based in @cityptbo.bsky.social the Hastings & Prince Edward Regimental Association Pipe Band are a vital part of the regiments military history. The pipes and drums inspire esprit de corps & community unity, especially on Remembrance Day. A special performance at the #Ptbo Legion, Branch 52 today.

This @cityptbo.bsky.social road micro resurfacing is a macro problem for the health of our waterways.
All of this loose asphalt is left to wash into our streams via storm drains.
Don’t we have better methods to protect the environment while fixing road surfaces?
Ideas @brenttoderian.bsky.social?

Cleaning and sorting donated books for our #LittleLendingLibrary this morning 🙂
The kiddos are out of school now, so a great time, if you have gently loved kids and teen books at home, to drop them off at a neighbourhood or municipal library.
Always a need for large print books too!

Clear, comprehensive, integrated. Lots of support for protecting the local food supply, farmers, greenhouse growers. Lots of support for environment and women's / Indigenous / 2SLGBTQ rights built into many areas, not just token investments. He's an economist so I trust this budget to be achievable.

As many homes, farms and businesses are still without power, and we move into recovery and clean-up mode following the ice storm, our team is taking time to do the same.
Please stay safe around fallen trees and power lines. Remember to be kind and check on your neighbours.

All routes remain suspended until the roads can be assessed. I’ll keep an eye on when they go out again.
They’re checking for obstructions, like fallen trees or power lines, or hydro crews working in the middle of the road.
Check before you go as there are a ton of places still out.
