Peterborough County<\/strong> \u2014 Today, Ontario announced two new investments in Peterborough County to improve quality of life and build community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve inclusivity for all, parks and recreation services must be accessible to residents and visitors of all ages and abilities. This is a goal that the Township strives towards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
