If you like two wheels more than four - we have good news for you! Ontario is giving funding to 120 cities - including Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes - to improve city cycling! This could include adding bike lanes or improving existing infrastructure. "The funding is provided under the four-year Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program, part of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan, and is funded by proceeds from the province’s cap on pollution and carbon market."
