Sustainable Peterborough Presents Annual Report Card to Council

by: Celia Hunter

Ken Doherty, Chair of Sustainable Peterborough, and Anca Pascalau, Sustainability Coordinator, outlined the strides being made in Peterborough County and City in areas such as economic development and employment, agriculture and local food, natural and cultural assets, energy and climate change, land use planning and healthy communities. There were a number of highlights that featured Cavan Monaghan, notably the Millbrook Community Garden that donated over 1000 lbs of produce to Millbrook Food Share in 2013. Also featured was Circle Organic, located on County Road 10 just south of Millbrook, that built a straw bale farmhouse, and an integrated farm building, root cellar and greenhouse as Endeavour Centre’s 2013 Sustainable New Building. Circle Organic also runs a seasonal Community Supported Agriculture Program.

Cavan Monaghan was also cited for its e-waste program and styrofoam recycling initiative, and adoption of its Millbrook Downtown Revitalization Strategy.
