Your City Hall wants you ready for whatever hits Peterborough.

Here's what flowed through City Hall this week

Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire, flowing to you from the Electric City.

Here's the thing about Peterborough, sometimes the biggest currents aren't the ones you see. This past week, we saw advisories for active weather, reminding us how much we live by the rhythms of the land and water around us. The City Hall reports reflected this, with a significant focus on preparing for whatever the weather spirits bring our way.

But beyond the immediate forecast, there was another flow of information about how we build and share our spaces.

* **Weather Preparedness:** City Hall kept a close eye on incoming weather systems, emphasizing community readiness.

* **Real Estate Accessibility:** The Canadian Real Estate Association, or CREA, put out some thoughtful pieces on making housing more accessible, specifically for those with disabilities.

* **Navigating the Market:** CREA also offered resources for making the home-buying journey a little less turbulent, a welcome guide in our swift housing currents.

It's a reminder that a strong community isn't just about what's built, but who can access it, and how we all adapt to the flow.

This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
