The Business Beat for the Week of March 31st

​The team at Mortlock Construction have long prioritized community, taking on projects that support and house those living on the margins. Now they’re trying something a little different. Upon learning that socks are the most needed clothing item in homeless shelters, they’ve launched Mortsocks. This social venture involved working with a local design company to develop Peterborough-themed dress socks that give back. Buy one pair of Mortsocks and Mortlock Construction will donate six pairs of socks to those in need through Brock Mission and the Peterborough Community Health Centre. You can order them online or pick up a pair at The Vine at 165 Sherbrooke Street in Peterborough. You can make a difference – one step at a time.
