It’s with a profound sadness that United Way Peterborough and District, staff, Board of Directors, and Campaign Cabinet remember and celebrate the life and legacy of Ann Farquharson.
Ann was a dedicated member of our Campaign Cabinet - a community builder with admirable determination. Her legacy spans decades of dedicated civic leadership, and her impact is woven into every corner of our community. We will miss Ann’s voice in our community, and around our tables.
To her family, many friends, and colleagues: we offer our deepest condolences. To our United Way community: we pledge to honour her memory by continuing the work that she so believed in.
On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand united against gender-based violence. Let`s raise awareness, support those who have experienced violence or are struggling and work towards a future free from violence. If you or someone you know needs help, dial 2-1-1 for support and services.

The 2025 #LivingWage for Peterborough and the Kawarthas is $22.20/ hour.
This is what it takes the cover the basic cost of living in our community - essentials such as housing, food, transportation, and childcare.
These figures are based on @onlivingwage 2025 calculated living wage. The United Way Peterborough and District is proud to fund and partner with the Ontario Living Wage Network to champion decent work and fair wages in our region.
A living wage is not a luxury - it’s the minimum required to living with stability and dignity in our area. It’s what it takes to make ends meet.
