Author Carissa MacIntyre is offering to put your kid’s art on the cover of notebooks. Or put your own art on it. Order one or a whole stack. It makes for a unique gift. Carissa, who goes by Lady Mack XO, is an independent author, freelance writer, and public speaker. You can find her on social media or at ladymackxo.com

Are you interested in acquiring an established business? Owners of The Capital Ptbo are looking to pass the torch on to someone with a love for sports and retail who has the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to hit a home run with this turnkey business. Located at 370 George Street North, The Capital offers a variety of sports apparel, both current and vintage designs that are sure to bring on some nostalgia. They carry the big names in sports as well as a huge selection supporting our local teams. If you’re interested in taking on this opportunity, reach out to Mark and Justin at [email protected].

There’s a new pharmacy in Norwood. Paul’s Norwood Pharmasave opened recently at 17 Spruce Street. They offer free local delivery, after hours emergency service, quick prescription transfers, immunizations, home healthcare supplies and equipment, and more. Their goal is to be more than just your local pharmacy, they strive for excellent patient care. Drop by and see the new space and you could win some giveaways.

Bonnie Clark, Warden of the County of Peterborough and Deputy Mayor of the Township of Otonabee-South Monaghan, will be addressing the business community at a special Warden’s Breakfast hosted by the Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce. The breakfast will be at Lang Pioneer Village on April 23 from 8 – 10am and will feature special guest Meredith Stavelely-Watson from the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus talking about their 7 in 7+ regional housing plan.
