Jeff Wakeford is retiring after 38 years at Little Lake Cemetery and Highland Park Funeral
Centre. He’s trading in his suit for a set of golf clubs. The team thanked him for his many years
of hard work, wisdom and outstanding service to the community. Little Lake Cemetery offers a
full range of funeral, cremation and cemetery services. They also operate Highland Park
Cemetery and Crematorium, and Highland Park Funeral Centre.

AON is hard at work in Havelock. Construction has begun on a new 128 bed long-term care
home, called Station Place, which is planned to open in August of 2025. This new facility is
expected to bring 140 jobs to the region. In preparation for this, they’re holding a career expo on
June 27 at 6 pm at the Havelock Centre. They have opportunities for experienced professionals,
students, recent graduates, and those looking for a new challenge. At the expo, AON will share
more about what opportunities will be available, what qualifications will be required, and what
you can do to become qualified for the specific roles available.

After much anticipation, the Canadian Canoe Museum is open! Drop by 2077 Ashburnham
Drive and check out the beautiful new location on the shores of Little Lake. Take in the new
exhibition space and see the collection of more than 600 watercraft and learn their stories. Grab
some coffee and a sandwich at the new Silver Bean Café location. Get some first-hand
experience and explore the water yourself in a rented canoe or kayak.

The Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce is holding a Four Mayors
Breakfast on June 6 at 8 am at the Burleigh Falls Inn. The event will include Mayor Carolyn
Amyotte from North Kawartha, Mayor Sherry Senis from Selwyn, Mayor Heather Watson from
Douro-Dummer, and Mayor Terry Lambshead from Trent Lakes. The event will include a full
buffet breakfast, networking time, and a moderated discussion on local business issues with the
mayors. Get your tickets at pkchamber.ca.
