Stay tuned to find out what our 2019 Community Campaign will bring... One thing that you can be certain of.. it will be powered by #LocalLove.
Carol's Place Volunteers Named 2019 Recipient of the Scholfield Award for Community Distinction.
Last week, we presented the 2019 Scholfield Award to Carol’s Place, in particular, their volunteers. Carol’s Place is a gathering place for people that was open in the morning and early evening, in the hours when local hot-meal programs and overnight shelters were closed. It was named in honour of Carol Winter, who devoted her life to helping the homeless, the poor and the marginalized in Peterborough. It was her dream to create a place where people in need could go, at any time of day.
