 Peterborough Memorial Centre

The Peterborough Memorial Centre is a 4,329-seat multi-purpose arena in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Built in 1956, it is now home to the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League and the Peterborough Lakers of the Major Series Lacrosse league.

The Peterborough Memorial Centre is a single-pad arena. It is most noted for having a large stage to the south end of the arena and a large portrait of the Queen painted by notable local artist David Bierk hanging above the ice. It is named in honour of the many war veterans who came from the region.

Along with hockey, the arena has hosted many events from trade shows, summer fairs, to lacrosse games and corporate Christmas celebrations for large industries such as Canadian General Electric.

In 2003, the Memorial Centre was renovated adding 24 luxury box suites, improved concessions, a licensed restaurant, new seats, boards, scoreboard and the addition of air conditioning. In late 2005 the building added a full video scoreboard.

Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site of Canada Lock 26 in Lakefield-Brad Sinclair Flat Rate Realty

I drove past these guys doing the repairs on the lock on Saturday and was fascinated by the work and the engineering that they are completing. It truly is amazing. I did not have my camera with me so I made a point of going back. I am looking forward to keeping an eye on their progress and the finished product.

This is the explanation what is happening on the locks from the Parks Canada website.

Lakefield Lock 26 Concrete Repairs

Peterborough County

In early December 2016, Parks Canada began concrete repairs at Lakefield Lock 26 on the Trent-Severn Waterway. This work will include repairs to the lower lock approach walls and to the concrete in the lock chamber.

Contractors began by removing vegetation on the west side of the lock to prepare the site for the installation of a temporary cofferdam. The cofferdam is a watertight enclosure built in the waterway to create a dry work space for the completion of the project.

Once the cofferdam is in place, the lower west approach wall will be demolished and reconstructed with concrete. Additionally, the decks around the locks will be widened for pedestrian and staff safety. This work will maintain the structural integrity of the locks and ensure the public may enjoy them for years to come. The project will be completed by May, in time to welcome boaters once again on the Victoria Day weekend in celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary celebration.

This project is part of Parks Canada’s unprecedented $3 billion dollar investment over 5 years to support infrastructure work to heritage, visitor, waterway and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas across Canada. These historic investments will mitigate health and safety risks, halt the loss of nationally significant built heritage and stimulate the economy in communities across the country

Capers Tap House in Campbellford Review-Brad Sinclair Flat Rate Realty

Today we are working in Campbellford. I asked Siri for a good place for lunch and we ended at Capers Tap House. This is an amazing little spot. They offer Craft Beer and other awesome drinks. I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Let me tell you that is was the best I ever had. It was so good. The portions in both our meals were huge. It took me awhile but I got through mine. Suz had to take half of hers home. Prices were really reasonable. So two thumbs up for Capers Tap House, highly recommended!
