Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Doors Open Peterborough, Summer Soul Yoga and Wellness, Pristine Plumbing PTBO and Vintage Inspired

PTBOCanada is delighted to be running the Business Beat columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

Every year in September, buildings and sites not normally open to the public welcome visitors as part of Doors Open Peterborough.

It’s a great opportunity for community engagement and education about our built and cultural heritage. Doors Open began in France in 1984 and started in Peterborough in 2002.

This annual celebration of heritage and culture has allowed us to see inside everything from the Peterborough Lift Lock, to hydro generating stations, to Victorian mansions and modern architectural gems such as Trent University. Doors Open Peterborough is always looking for new places that tell Peterborough’s stories through the sites and voices of the community. If you would like your building, walking tour or site to be showcased on Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., email heritage@peterborough.ca or contact the City of Peterborough. The deadline for submission is May 5.

It feels like spring finally and that means the return of Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga and Pilates with Summer Soul Yoga and Wellness.

This year’s program will be offered with four different instructors and three locations: Chemong Lake, Stoney Lake, and downtown Peterborough’s Little Lake. Summer Soul offers paddleboard rentals for those without one of their own. Go to summersoul.ca for more details.
