“These people have learned not from books, but in the fields, in the wood, on the river bank. Their teachers have been the birds themselves when they sang to them, the sun when it left a glow of crimson behind it at setting, the very trees, & wild herbs.” Chekov #ptbo #earthweek
“On #EarthDay, we as a @CityPtbo renew our commitment to better stewardship of our creeks, wetlands, greenspaces and public spaces, including protecting it from the ever-encroaching trash, litter, and hazardous refuse.” #LitterActionPlan2024 #PTBO
Join us in Ecology Park next weekend: peterborough.ca/CNC 🌲This tamarack will add to the biodiversity, habitat in Rogers Cove for years to come.
"Each tree makes a difference in our lives," said Councillor @lalalalachica at today's tree planting to commemorate #Ptbo's participation in the @citnatchallenge, a global competition to record nature, wildlife sightings in urban areas. Thank you for planting w/ us @PtboNature!

Congratulations, Sebastian? 💫

Is a park still a park if it’s paved?: thenarwhal.ca/opinion-peterb… Urban planning should reflect lessons learned during COVID: build up, not out -or over- green space & treat natural assets as such. Parks are one of our most democratic places & were created for everyone to enjoy!
Council got a 3-pg petition from residents of Marycrest Sr’s Residence, 1565, Monaghan Rd. They live 24-7 not even 50 yards in earshot, across the street from lit, late-night & early morning, 16 potential pickleball courts. #cantjustmove #ptbo #equity thenarwhal.ca/opinion-peterb…
.@lalalalachica says she's further concerned there is a lobby person on the arenas, parks and recreation advisory committee (she doesn't mention it, but recent past president of the Pickleball association, Bruce Bozec, is vice-chair of that advisory committee)
@TrentArthur @CityPtbo Thank you for listening to community members and encouraging community consultation, @lalalalachica
“If you look at that report, there’s a qualifier that reads ‘if Bonnerworth is approved’. Bonnerworth isn’t approved. There hasn’t been traffic study. There hasn’t been a noise study to verify if this (Bonnerworth) is a feasible place for 16 courts.” #ptbo kawarthanow.com/2024/04/04/bon…
Peterborough City Nature Challenge encourages citizen scientists to document local biodiversity. “Our participation in this global bio-blitz competition from April 26 to 29 will see iNaturalist used to record & share nature sightings”. See you there #ptbo kawarthanow.com/2024/03/21/pet…

Gerelus is asking councillors to be as "brutally honest and courageous" as @lalalalachica, @alexbierk and Coun. Riel, who admitted they were wrong about the project - and that it ought to be reconsidered.
I like that @lalalalachica defended open unpaved spaces. unpaved spaces in parks are important.
Well, it's a done deal, but another issue not mentioned is the fact that these courts will be open air, therefore dependent on good weather. The rest of the time the courts are useless for any other purpose. The courts should have been built in an enclosed, winterized space.
The public is pushing back against a plan to pave a park in Peterborough, Ont., to build 16 pickleball courts and parking. But maybe this is less about pickleball than it is about parks, writes @elaineanselmi thenarwhal.ca/opinion-peterb…
@lalalalachica I feel so sorry for those people. Being forced to deal with unwanted noise is incredibly stressful and can have a huge impact on your quality of life, including your mental health. I know this from personal experience.
@she_et_al @lalalalachica @alexbierk I would like to see more recreational opportunities in Peterborough but I want to consider the input of neighbours. This is a big change from a gently used area to a more intense area with a lot of users
@alexbierk Pickleball doesn’t want anything people do. If some people want a pickleball tournament facility it shouldn’t be built with public funds. Recreation facilities should be accessible, in the neighbourhoods. Do the same people want rinks, baseball, artificial fields?… oh wait…
Climate deniers think they know better than people who spent decades researching climate. Climate deniers don’t know what they’re talking about.
.@lalalalachica asks Dunn about his scientific training. He says he has none, but doesn't need to be a trained scientist - he's got 20 or 30 books on the subject and has watched 100s of hours of presentations from people who don't think climate change is a thing.
Is a park still a park if it’s paved?: thenarwhal.ca/opinion-peterb… Urban planning should reflect lessons learned during COVID: build up, not out -or over- green space & treat natural assets as such. Parks are one of our most democratic places & were created for everyone to enjoy!
While I understand from proponents that pickleball demographics are shifting, I have a hard time believing that a project of 16 basketball courts (an accessible sport also seeing enormous growth here) would get approved with such little consideration. @lalalalachica @alexbierk

@DarlaStarvey @JoelleKovach @lalalalachica @alexbierk The flawed process for this project was made clear to observers tonight-- I say this as an observer and as a pickleball agnostic (though I, too, have attended many BBQs in my life).
@JoelleKovach @lalalalachica @alexbierk Thank you for trying to include community consultation. I wasn't optimistic but I was still able to be hopeful with such awesome humans representing our ward.
.@lalalalachica says she's further concerned there is a lobby person on the arenas, parks and recreation advisory committee (she doesn't mention it, but recent past president of the Pickleball association, Bruce Bozec, is vice-chair of that advisory committee)
Thank you @lalalalachica and @alexbierk for not supporting changes to the parks by law which would cause more harm to people distributing food.
The meeting is adjourned at 11:10 p.m., nearly 5.5 hours after it started. Thanks for following along - happy to carry out this little service for you!
