## Your City Hall focused on spring storms and finding a home

Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire. It’s been a week where the flow of civic life felt deeply tied to the land and our homes.

Here's the thing about Peterborough: sometimes the biggest currents are the ones we feel directly. This week, we saw advisories for active weather, reminding us of the powerful forces of Gichigami and the need to respect them. The city's attention, in many ways, was drawn outward, toward the changing skies above the Otonabee.

But there was also a quiet hum around what makes our community home:

* Early in the week, the discussion was all about the shifting weather patterns and how they might affect our daily rhythms.

* Later, the conversation turned inward, toward the very fabric of our neighbourhoods.

* The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) shared insights on making home ownership and real estate navigation more accessible for everyone.

* They emphasized understanding what it truly means for *everyone* in our community to find their place and feel the welcoming current of home.

It's a reminder that a city's health flows from both its connection to the natural world and the well-being of its people. This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
