After six years working in Canada as a barber, Shiar Mourad opened his own barber shop five months ago. Located at 245 George Street North in downtown Peterborough, Kawartha Barbershop offers stylish cuts with excellent service and attention to detail at reasonable rates. Customers rave about their experiences. Drop by the new shop or get in touch online to book an appointment.

Bargain Binz has a new Peterborough location at 1135 Lansdowne Street West, Unit 25, in Peterborough. They have an everything must go business model. Each week they receive truckloads of overstocked and customer returned items from large online retailers across Canada. The sales begin Saturday with prices dropping every day until they hit rock bottom on Fridays. Then it’s cleared out and new merchandise is available Saturdays. The inventory is always changing. Drop by and see what interesting deals you might find.

The New Canadians Centre is celebrating 45 years in our community by holding a block party on June 28 from 2 to 6 pm. It’s going to be a fun-filled afternoon that includes a talent show, multicultural crafts, henna, face painting, a bouncy castle, and delicious food. There will be a cultural fair to learn about some of Peterborough’s multicultural and faith-based groups and their programing. It’s planned for outdoors with a rain backup inside their building. It all takes place in and around 221 Romaine St.

Habitat for Humanity has a new location opening in Lakefield. The new store is planned this summer at 3001 Lakefield Road in the former Overstock Liquidation building at corner of Buckhorn Road. Habitat is currently winding down operations at its south end location on Braidwood Avenue and will continue operating its north end and Lindsay locations. The new location will be more than 10,000 square feet. The Restore is a non-profit home improvement and building supply store that accepts and resells donations of gentry used items that include building materials, décor, appliances, furniture, and tools.
