Some personal news today...
I am moving on to new adventures after an incredible (nearly) 2 years at @GlobalPtbo@CHEXNewswatch.
Through my time here I have learned so much from so many, and seen endless beautiful sunrises (and a few sunsets!) 🌅
Thank you Peterborough.

Congratulations to Town Ward Councillor Alex Bierk on being presented the YMCA Peace Medal.

Hi folks - COVID-19 wastewater levels are nearly at the highest they've ever been recorded here. That means there's lots of the virus going around. While severe disease & death fortunately not as high, we can still prevent infection & PCC/LongCOVID & severe disease for high-risk
TRAFFIC: Emergency crews are on scene of a two vehicle collision on Rubidge Street and Sherbrooke Street in Peterborough. One person is in care of paramedics. Avoid the area if you can for the next little while #ptbonews

An eventful start to a Sunday evening. Officers attempting to stop a vehicle were deliberately rammed by the driver of the fleeing vehicle. At least one police vehicle will likely be a write-off, while the second is questionable.
Two officers sustained minor injuries, and the suspect is being examined for possible injuries resulting from his deliberate actions toward officers.
This is a sad reality of policing. This is the personal and financial cost of policing.
This is the type of thing our officers could face at any time. Sure, it's what they're paid to do, but few other professions have employees who knowingly put themselves in harm's way to keep their community safe.
Fortunately, the officers will be fine and will continue to serve with pride in the community they are committed to. They may need a bit of time for the bangs and bruising to heal though.
More will follow in a media release Monday. @PtboPolice@maddkawartha
