PETERBOROUGH, ON – March 17, 2026 – The Peterborough Family Health Team (PFHT) is launching the Connect Clinic. This new clinic will help the many people in Peterborough City and County who do not have a family doctor or nurse practitioner.

The Connect Clinic will provide care to patients while they wait to get a permanent family doctor or nurse practitioner. Local family doctors and nurse practitioners provide timely access to acute, chronic, and preventative care at the clinic. Mental health navigation is a new service in partnership with the local Canadian Mental Health Association.

The clinic works with patients to build a complete medical record, which will follow them to their new family physician, nurse practitioner and primary care team.

PFHT is grateful to continue being the home for patients who don’t have a family doctor or nurse practitioner while they wait for a long-term connection with family physicians and primary care organizations.

For more information or to book an appointment, visit www.connectclinic.ca.

The Township of North Kawartha has lowered flags at all municipal facilities to half-mast in recognition of the victims of the tragic mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, which occurred on February 10, 2026.

Flags will remain at half-mast until sunset on February 17, 2026, at which time they will be returned to full mast in accordance with the federal directive.

The Township is exploring options for public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to support residents, seasonal property owners, visitors, and local businesses. Your feedback will help us determine:

• Where stations should be located
•  What type of chargers are most needed
•  How often they would be used
•  How EV charging could support local businesses and tourism
• Whether you own an EV or not, your input matters!

The survey takes about 5 minutes and will help guide North Kawartha Council’s decisions on future EV infrastructure, partnerships, and funding opportunities.
