The Peterborough Examiner
Established in 1847 as the Peterborough Despatch, the Peterborough Examiner later adopted its current name, The Examiner, a few years later. Although it was not the first newspaper in the community, it has become the longest-running and is currently the only daily newspaper serving Peterborough. The Examiner has had several homes over the years. Initially, it moved between different downtown locations before settling on George Street. In the 1930s, it relocated to the southeast corner of Hunter and Water streets. By the 1990s, the newspaper had moved to The Kingsway and has recently shifted to a new site in East City. Over the decades, The Examiner has played a vital role in chronicling the events of the city and county, covering news, sports, and the arts. Its award-winning newsroom continues to provide readers with up-to-date breaking news through its website, which garners around 2.4 million pageviews monthly, as well as its print edition, which has been in continuous publication for 173 years.

The first witness called by Toromont Industries counsel during the ongoing Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) hearing at an appeal brought by Peterborough Action for Tiny Homes (PATH) elaborated on his understanding of how the proposed sleeping cabin community would be affected by the company’s operations beside the site. PATH launched the appeal after city council denied a temporary zoning bylaw, which would have allowed PATH to build up to 24 sleeping cabins.

Summer’s arrival brings with it the next leg of Peterborough Speedway’s 2025 schedule. On Saturday, June 21, the Canadian National Autism Foundation presents Kid’s Race. Kid’s Race was started in 2010 as an idea to create a new platform for autism research and awareness. It wasn’t too long after speaking with — and working alongside track owners, officials, drivers, crews and fans — that a bond was formed between advocates for autism research and the racing community.

The celestial wheel has once again brought us to the summer solstice and a new, exciting season. The American nature writer Hal Borland spoke of late June as “long, sweet days we bought and paid for with long, cold nights and short bitter days at the dark turn of the year.” Thinking back to this year’s snowy, cold winter, we have every right to relish and embrace summer’s arrival.
