Thursday, February 26th 2026
We are thrilled to announce that the 6th Annual Peterborough Performs-Musicians United to End Homelessness is scheduled for Thursday, February 26th 2026, at Showplace Performance Centre.
Peterborough Performs is uniting the community to highlight the challenges faced by our most vulnerable citizens, with a focus on homelessness as a critical issue.
Homelessness goes beyond a lack of shelter—it reflects struggles with safety, stability, and belonging. Addressing it requires a united effort, combining immediate support with lasting solutions. Together, we can ensure everyone has a place to call home.
❤️It’s Thank You Thursday!❤️
Thank you to the whole team at J & M Automotive who welcomed us into their shop to present a generous gift to @unitedwayptbo
