Can’t forget about our Canadian icon: Stompin’ Tom Connors who got his nickname in Peterborough for the way he pounded out the beat on the old wood floors of King George Hotel! 😜❤️👍👌
You got to explore the petroglyphs and the great fishing on the trent!!! Grew up there many years ago and miss it greatly. I lived on Parkhill in the apartments and we used to go to Parkhill Park and hike, bike and swim in the pond they created every summer. In my HI school years I attended Kenner Collegiate and was the bass player for a local band called TYRANT! We played a few venues and the famous.. King Arthur's restaurant. There are many rivers and creeks that kids can walk along to just enjoy the nature that abounds. We use to walk in the creeks and for many a kilometer just to be in the water... and the water is very clear!
I absolutely love Petetborough. I’ve been coming up every summer since 2014. I love taking mid afternoon drives to Port Hope, Cobourg, Bewdley ( Rhino’s Roadhouse for lunch) I would move there from the US in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for these two HUGE problems. Trying to find a family Dr there is impossible. The cost of housing ( for the average home) is unrealistically high. I’m talking more expensive than parts of California ( and this state is notorious for being expensive) My income/per cost of living in Peterborough as opposed to California isn’t worth making the move. So I will come every summer and enjoy what I can from it. This much I can say. Peterborough is the only city in Canada that got me thinking about moving out of country. That’s how much I love it there. June 21st, I arrive and will stay until September 15th. --- can’t wait
Very beautiful territory! Oh look they have a Blain Train too. The music fest looks like it would be fun too. Lots to do. Have a great day my friend and thank you for the tour. Keep Spinning and Winning....Cheers
Been living here for 2 years now. Peterborough is well known for Trent University , Fleming and Seneca college. Since Peterborough county is quite small with population of 80K approx , there aren't as many opportunities here in terms of employment when compared to the GTA which is a major limitation here. Would recommend this as a great place to study but not as a place to settle down.
😢 really? I am going to move to Peterborough from Ecuador. Ill study at Fleming and he wants to get a job at Peterborough. Isnt it a good place to live?
Leonard Shea: Peterboro looks like a beautiful place to visit. It is appears to be a very beautiful city and the population is not overbearing. I have not been to Canada since 1967 when I was very young and before my father met my mother he almost moved to Canada (my grandmother had relatives there but in the Toronto area). Of course, when my father met my mother, he changed his mind. I wish I was raised in Canada because what I've seen of it (online), especially New Brunswick, is lovely. Please make more videos so that people like myself can enjoy them.
I moved away from Peterborough back in March of 1981 and have never wanted to live there ever again as at the time jobs were hard to come by and the prospects bleak. The last time I dropped into my hometown was in 2004 and I do not think I will ever be back as the place holds no attraction to me as the people I once knew have moved away or are dead.This video puts a gloss on the place I never knew.
Did u know that The Peterborough Skateboard Park is one of the largest in Ontario? It has several half pipes as well multiple ramps n rails! Hang Loose!!!😜👌🤙
I was born here and lived all across Canada. Came back when I was 45 and could not get a job because of ageism. Had to go on OW, now ODSP because of my mental health of not finding a job, etc and eill be homeless like many others on June 30th. I am 59 now. No jobs, no affordable housing, what is available is geared towards students because we have Trent and Fleming. Greedy people just want students. This city is a cesspool with a high crime rate.
Bro i live hear, and it isn't that good, the homeless population is sooo high and houses are very expensive as well as the biker gangs and dangerous downtown, not the best
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherland, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country.

The zoo animals must have been lonely with shutdowns this year! Need to support the zoo! 🦙🐓🐏🐃🦒🐖🐈🦜🐀
Yes. So much has been written about zoos lately. Thank you for watching!
I heard that the pandemic has also impacted animals bc they r used to the social interaction. Let’s get back to normal!!!
We’re gonna develop this city into a dense, pedestrian friendly, urban built condominium city. Big vision for Peterborough 🙌🙌
Yes, with a massive homeless population and biker gangs
@@sir.muffiniii7011There already are
Wayne Gretzky played 3 games for the Peterborough Peters but never scored a goal for them. He was saving them up. LOL
Wow! I did not know that and I thought I knew everything about Gretzky. Highest scoring player of all time! Thank you for the info and watching!
Wow! That’s so cool! U have to start somewhere!😜👍👏
That’s amazing info! Peterborough must b proud to have Gretzky as part of their community albeit short!👍😊

I did not know that. I should do a video on the skateboard park. Cool! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I bet there r some great skateboarders? Wasn’t that a new sports category in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? LOL😜
Skateboarding was an event at the recent 2020 Tokyo Olympics! Japan, Australia and Brazil made the podium. Perhaps Canada in future Olympics? LOL😜
@@travelexplorer8851 I was surprised to see it at the Olympics!
@@adventureseekergirl2898 Canada did well this year! Winter Olympics here we come!!
Do Newmarket next
I love Peterborough because I never been there

How do I get from Kingston to Peterborough quickly? Don't drive.
Bro i live hear, and it isn't that good, the homeless population is sooo high and houses are very expensive as well as the biker gangs and dangerous downtown, not the best
Peterborough to lindsay is 30 minutes
Its not peterbor peterborough there a city in England name after st peter peterborough peterboroughshire England uk

Misleading. Come and experience the homelessness,drugs and poor infrastructure.
