United Way Peterborough & District is inviting nominations for the Scholfield Award of Community Distinction. This award was established to recognize an individual or organization for their outstanding contribution and ability to mobilize change within our community. “Through their excellent leadership, the award recipient energizes and inspires people to come together to make a lasting difference in the City and County of Peterborough,” says Jim Russell, CEO, United Way Peterborough and District. Nominations close March 15, 2019 and the award will be presented during National Volunteer Week (April 7th – 13th 2019).

Age-friendly Peterborough and the United Way of Peterborough & District are conducting research into the recreation and leisure needs of our region’s population aged 50+, and we need your help. The Study includes the City and County of Peterborough, as well as Hiawatha and Curve Lake First Nations.

We want to learn more about:
·          The types of activities older adults enjoy
·          Barriers to participation
·          What older adults would like to have in their community

Please follow the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RecreationAndLeisure

The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and is available until March 11, 2019 at 5:00 PM. The questions are mostly multiple choice, and the final question allows space to write feedback you might have, in your own words.
