Over 100 seniors on three school buses visited Peterborough’s world famous lift lock and the Riverview Park & Zoo. The seniors were greeted by local Sikhs, councilors and politicians, who welcomed them with flags, a band and police escort onto McBride Island on the Otonabee River where they had a picnic and enjoyed food and drinks. The seniors listened to the history of the Peterborough, got awards from the local dignitaries, spent time touring the zoo and the train ride, playing games, sharing poetry and songs. Although the morning started off wet in Toronto, the entire day in Peterborough passed by with excellent weather, sunny, breeze and the natural setting under the trees was much appreciated by all.
