What was donated by customers, $1,284.56, was doubled by Sobeys. So between the customers of Buckhorn Foodland and Sobeys, $2,569.12 was given to the Trent Lakes Outreach Centre. Trent Lakes Outreach Centre (TLOC) runs a food bank once a month, run entirely by volunteers and donations.

To get the story on the ice storm, I accessed Hydro One media relations. I received statistics for Peterborough and the surrounding area. As of last Thursday, crews have restored power to more than 99.6 per cent of customers since the start of the generational ice storm that started March 28 at 11 p.m. Through widespread and significant damage, crews worked tirelessly to make repairs and rebuild local electricity infrastructure. They restored 1,434 outages and about 110,480 customers.
