What’s going on in Peterborough

Peterborough will be celebrating Canada’s 150^th this weekend, and there are lots of things to do! If you’re in the city the Canada Day Parade will be happening on the 1st at 12:00 noon starting at Murray Street and moving down George Street to Morrow Park. The pre-parade ceremonies and entertainment begin at City hall around 9:00 am and include a free pancake breakfast (thanks to the East City Lions Club)! In the evening starting at 8:00 pm Peterborough’s Mucisfest is happy to present the three-time Juno award winner Kim Mitchell performing live at Del Crary park! Better yet, thanks to local sponsorship (including us here at Cambium) the concert is totally free!

Beyond Peterborough

This year being the big 150^th anniversary, there are lots going on in the rest of the country as well. For example: with the free Discovery Pass, all Federal parks are free this summer, you can get your Discovery Pass here. Remember though provincial parks are separate. In Ontario, if you want to see the beautiful and historic Trent-Severn waterway, the locks are free to travel through this summer. This is particularly exciting for us here at Cambium as we have been working hard on several projects upgrading and repairing locks on the Trent-Severn – readying them for the extra traffic they will see this summer!

All of us here at Cambium are proud Canadians. We take great pride in our work maintaining Canada’s natural environment through our environmental work; ensuring the preservation of fragile ecosystems, the protection of threatened species and the safety of our water supply. We are also proud to contribute to Canada’s infrastructure and economy through our inspection and geotechnical services; ensuring the safety and quality of our countries’ built environment. Lastly, we are proud of our contributions to Canadian society through our extensive charitable efforts – with a commitment to donating  1% of our yearly gross margins, regardless of whether we actually turned a profit or not.

Join us in celebrating our wonderful nation’s 150^th, and reflect on how lucky we are to live in this beautiful country of ours!
