Who We Are:
We are proud to be located in Peterborough, Ontario, known traditionally as Nogojiwanong, an Anishinaabemowin word meaning “place at the foot of the rapids.” Nestled along the Otonabee River — “the river that beats like a heart” — Peterborough is a place of natural beauty, cultural richness, and deep history.
