What is the air quality and cancer rates like in peterborough,ontario?

We Answered:

The air quality is very good because there are no industries that pollute it, and it is not that close to any American cities. However, it also means that there are few jobs there unless you are in an industry that caters to wealthy retirees who spend their time on the man made lock system and lakes.

There is one college and one university there.

A good job would be in small engine repair (boats, lawnmowers, that sort of thing).

Moving to stamford or Peterborough.?

We Answered:

Hello there

I think its the same with most places - theres always bad areas to most cities, altho I've not encountered anything bad when I've been out and about around there.

Stamford is a lovely old town tho, and probably nicer to bring your children up around there too. Also the schools might be nicer? Bourne is a nearby town too, its got some nice schools and very quiet - although a lot of old people around there.

Peterborough has a cinema - Stamford has the Arts Centre which has one screen and means your film selection is limited - but then a trip to Pboro in an evening isn't such a problem. Bars and pub life in both places is ok.

Check out the council websites for amenities information, and maybe a visit and pick up some local newspapers for a look at whats happening around the area (maybe check out the Rutland and Stamford Mercury online, and The Evening Telepraph - for pboro) the headlines might give an indication of how the two compare.

I'd probably say Stamford is a great choice for a young family, with travelling to Peterborough for the shopping (Queensgate centre), cinema and maybe some other entertainment.

My brother is going to lose his job in Peterborough in a few months.Any advise on the subject,please?

We Answered:

I'd ignore the adverts posted above..

I don't know Peterbough, but i'd imagine that they have the same building boom as most of the country just now.. I'd advise your brother to start calling around the sites (Pref large companies) looking for labouring work, its a start (A good paying one too..) from there he will get to know the site-foreman who will help him get the qualifications he is looking for (If he doesn't already have them) and will be able to help with regards to getting a job in the trade he likes.. In the building game, its all about hard work, attitude and stamina, they dont accept lazy workers, but they reward the hard workers quickly!!

summer jobs in peterborough ontario?

We Answered:

Here is a short list of summer jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.

3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.

7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.

8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.

Good luck!
