Hi Valley Home brings furniture back to life
Your weekly roundup of what’s happening in the Peterborough and area business community

Gymnastics
The Kawartha Gymnastics Club has announced that they are moving to a new location, a 12,460-square-foot facility across from Lansdowne Place. The new facility will allow them to add new programs and equipment, as well as a foam pit! An extremely valuable training tool, the foam pit contains 5,000 pieces of foam, and the club has come up with a clever fundraising idea, asking everyone to help purchase blocks of foam for $10 each. Donors will have their name displayed on a sponsor wall in the new facility. Details are at kawarthagymnastics.ca.
