There’s a new venue at 164 Hunter Street West called Ivy Event Space. Owners Kristina and
Aaron Goodwin started the business out of a passion for bringing people together. Seeing a
need in the community for a versatile event space, they set out to create a sophisticated
location that would cater to various types of events, including children’s parties, family potlucks,
and corporate workshops. They offer clients full control over the event experience without
vendor restrictions. Their team is available to help coordinate your next event and offer a stress-free experience.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with clutter, Debbie King has launched a new business called
Moving Forward that specializes in helping seniors and homeowners de-clutter, downsize, and
overcome the intimidation of taking on a big task to create a more organized and safe home.
They offer private one-on-one sorting sessions where you will have time to carefully consider
what will be kept and what is no longer needed. Their mission is to leave clients in better
circumstances and they work with people who struggle with chronic disorganization and letting
go. Find out more at movingforwardclutterking.ca

Peterborough Humane Society is celebrating Owen the Griff’s birthday by holding its first ever
50/50 lottery and a ‘ruff’le for a set of beautiful patio chairs. This is your chance to win some
money and support the new Animal Care Centre, helping local animals receive the care they
need. Peterborough Humane Society is a registered charity that advocates for animals by
rescuing lost, stray, and homeless pets throughout the region and has been doing so since
1941. Ticket sales end April 17 at 1 pm. Get yours at phs5050.ca.

Businesses looking to do business with the City of Peterborough are invited to attend a
workshop hosted by the City in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce called Unlocking
Opportunities on April 11 at the McDonnel Street Community Centre. The workshop will focus
on navigating the procurement process and establishing partnerships with the City. There will be
tips for the bidding process and advice on submitting competitive proposals. City
representatives will be available to answer questions. Register at pkchamber.ca.
