Burleigh Beanz is a new coffee shop that recently opened on Highway 28, just South of Burleigh Falls.
Located in a small rustic cabin, and sharing the same parking lot as The Burger Box, Burleigh Beanz serves coffee, tea and cereal treats, as well as custom artwork, custom jewellery, and apparently the world’s best fire starters. Open at 6 a.m. every day. Stop in or find Burleigh Beanz on Facebook.
INSPIRE's newest project, the Mom Bod Project launches on Saturday from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Venture North.
Celebrating and sharing the stories of all who identify as "MoM” in a fun, empowering project, plans include a festival of local businesses in the Venture North Parking lot. If you are a mom-preneur or local business with a mom/kid/family focus, or if you are interested in sponsoring the event, check out inspirethewomensportraitproject.com
Community Futures Peterborough and FedDev have responded to the recent storm with the Regional Emergency Relief Fund.
The fund provides interest-free loans of up to $50,000, to businesses that were impacted and in need of financial assistance. Businesses will be required to demonstrate loss or damages as a result of the storm and can cover everything from generators, equipment rentals, building damage repairs, lost inventory and more.

With Canada Day this weekend and the busy Summer Season ahead, a request to watch for the return of so many things we’ve missed over the last two years.
From 4th Line and New Stages Theatre to Showplace and Market Hall, from Friday Night Art Crawls to live music, from events and festivals to pow wows, from markets and fairs to tourist attractions, bars, restaurants and retailers, and on and on. Let’s all go out of our way to support all of the local businesses who have been so badly hurt by the pandemic.
Happy Canada Day, see you next week!
