Peterborough Petes News Release


The Peterborough Petes, Peterborough Memorial Centre and the Kinsmen Club of Peterborough are encouraging all fans attending the Petes game on Saturday December 5th, 2009 vs. the Windsor Spitfires to arrive before 5:30pm in order to avoid traffic congestion and road closures due to the 2009 Kinsmen Santa Claus Parade.

Fans are asked to access the main Peterborough Memorial Centre (PMC) parking lot via the Lock St. entrance at the South East corner of the PMC or the West lot beside the Kawartha Gymnastics Club via the grandstand entrance at the North West corner of Morrow Park on Park St. There will be no access to either parking lots via Roger Neilson Way the day of the game, and only people attending the Petes game that night will be allowed to park at the PMC, therefore, parade viewers not attending the Petes game are asked to find alternative parking.

With concerns over the safety of parade viewers, participants and people attending the Petes game, Roger Neilson Way/George St. will be blocked by the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police South of Lansdowne St to McGill St. beginning at approximately 5:30pm on December 5th, 2009.

"This is the fourth year we have had a crossover with a Petes game and the Kinsmen Santa Claus parade. For the past three years we have followed the same action plan and experienced no issues or complaints from the public. The Petes, PMC and Kinsmen Club have worked diligently again this year to make sure the safety of all patrons is of the utmost importance. As a result we are asking fans to arrive early, arrive safe, and use the use the designated parking lots and entrances" states Petes Assistant General Manager Aaron Garfat. "Brown's Fine Foods will have all concession booths as well as Zambony's Restaurant open to all fans beginning at 5:00pm when the PMC doors open to the public an hour ahead of the regularly scheduled time."
