Talks about his book - The Golden Handshake Club
Jan. 21, 2026 7:00 a.m.
For over 20 years, photojournalist Ted Amsden has covered the events in two neighbouring towns - Port Hope and Cobourg. A resident and Poet Laureate in one, he partied hard in the other, always believing the two communities members of the same family. But as is often the case with competitive siblings, he found their quirks and charm worthy of much laughter which is why he wrote this humorous tale of quixotic conquest |

Five Counties Children’s Centre
Apr. 15, 2026 7:00 a.m.
This morning we extend a warm, Rotary welcome to Lyn Giles, Director of Fund Development, to share an overview and update about the incredible programs and services offered by the Five Counties Children's Centre. About Lyn: With three decades of progressive experience in the fundraising sector, Lyn currently serves as Director of Fund Development at Five Counties Children’s Centre, where she is dedicated to building strong, values-driven partnerships to deliver meaningful and lasting impact for children and families throughout Northumberland County, Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, and Minden. Lyn’s career began in the 1990s in arts management, including senior roles at art galleries and museums where she honed her expertise in fundraising and development. In 1998, she relocated to Peterborough and took on her first full-time fundraising position with United Way, marking a pivotal step in her professional journey. Since then, Lyn has contributed her skills and leadership to a range of charitable and educational organizations. She developed the annual fundraising program and played a key role in the YWCA’s Safe Haven Shelter campaign, supported annual and capital campaigns for the Peterborough Humane Society, and helped secure vital funding for student support initiatives while working in the Advancement Office at Fleming College. In her current role at Five Counties Children’s Centre, Lyn is committed to empowering children to achieve their fullest potential. Inspired by her parents’ lifelong commitment to volunteerism - her father being a dedicated and life long Rotarian - Lyn developed a deep appreciation for community service and philanthropy from a young age. Her professional and personal values reflect this legacy, as she actively serves as an executive team member of the Peterborough Planning Estate Council, is a Past President and current member of the Peterborough Area Fundraisers Network, a member of the Rotary Club of Peterborough, and a board member of the Peterborough Folk Festival. Lyn’s guiding principle is to leave every endeavour and community she serves better than she found it, consistently striving to create positive change and foster strong, supportive networks for those in need. |
