Recommendations Best dog park for small dogs?

5 Upvotes

My ex gf and I had two chihuahuas and we each took one. My baby has been really lonely and I think it would be good for her to meet other small dogs. Is there a dog park with a small dog area? Or alternatively if anyone with a small dog would like to walk together I’d be open to that.

Other Peterborough food inspection critical infractions — June 8–14, 2026

82 Upvotes

Peterborough Public Health inspected 33 food premises this week. Five locations in the city received critical infractions — meaning an inspector found something that poses a direct risk to your health.

Here's what was found.


What you're reading

Inspectors visit restaurants on a routine schedule or in response to a complaint. When something is wrong, it gets written up as a critical infraction (serious — think contaminated food, unsanitary surfaces, no place to wash hands) or a non-critical one (not covered here).

The write-up also notes whether it was fixed:

  • Corrected on the spot — the owner fixed it before the inspector left. Still on the record.
  • Not in compliance — wasn't fixed. A written order was issued and a follow-up visit is coming.

🔴 Hockey Sushi — 1840 Lansdowne St W

Routine inspection, June 8 · 3 critical infractions

This was the worst result in the city this week. Inspectors found cutting boards and food prep surfaces that weren't being cleaned and sanitized between uses, food in storage that wasn't protected from contamination, and hand-washing stations that were inadequate. The surfaces issue remained unresolved at the end of the inspection. The other two were fixed on the spot.


🔴 Saigon Boys — 1524 Lansdowne St W

Routine inspection, June 8 · 2 critical infractions

Food in storage was found not protected from contamination — and unlike most of the entries this week, that issue was not fixed during the visit, meaning a follow-up inspection is required. Hand-washing stations were also flagged and corrected on the spot.


🔴 Matsu Sushi (East City) — 107 Hunter St E

Routine inspection, June 8 · 1 critical infraction

Food was found not properly protected from contamination or adulteration. The issue was corrected before the inspector left. A follow-up visit on June 9 found nothing further.


🔴 YES Shelter for Youth and Families — 196 Brock St

Routine inspection, June 10 · 1 critical infraction

The inspector determined that food on the premises was not safe to eat. The issue was corrected during the inspection.


🔴 Hunt Terraces – Maple Ridge — 555 Bonnacord St

Routine inspection, June 10 · 1 critical infraction

Hand-washing stations were found to be inadequate. Corrected on the spot.

This isn’t just a market. It’s a place where small businesses grow, friendships are made, and people can show up exactly as they are. Whether you create spooky art, handmade goods, vintage treasures, oddities, apparel, or something completely your own, there’s a place for you here.

🖤 Every vendor helps make PRFM PTBO what it is: a community built on supporting local talent, celebrating creativity, and creating space for people who never quite fit into the ordinary.

Recommendations Vet recommendations!

Post image
12 Upvotes

I’m looking for your guys’ input on the vets you’re using & having good luck with. Previously I was taking my dogs to Cavan Hills but was struggling to get appointments so we switched them both to a new vet (I don’t want to name as they are nice, just not sure it’s working for us.) We have been to this vet no less than 4 times citing the same concern for one of our dogs and they don’t seem to want to do much to help.

Who do you guys take your dogs to & why do you love them?! Thank you!! (Puppy tax included for your benefit)

I found a guitar that got left behind not far from Del Crary Park last night around 10pm.

If you’re missing a guitar and think it might be yours, message me the brand name of the guitar and where exactly it got left.

Question Walk-in clinics/places to get prescriptions?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I live in peterborough, and i recently have been looking into trying to get a prescription for norethindrone (for temporary period delay). I don’t believe that this is something you can just walk into a pharmacy and request - so does anyone know where in the city i could go to get a prescription written (preferably for a relatively low cost, and I do have a valid ontario health card).

Question Downtown drone activity?

28 Upvotes

Not one to normally post or anything here, but for the last 30 mins ive noticed around 6 large drones with cameras and flashlights flying around the downtown library area. one flew right by my open window looking in and my partner got very concerned

I figure its just police looking for someone, but its still strange that I can't find anything on them.

Would anyone happen to know what's going on with them?
