Housing and how the federal government can help get more shovels in the ground was a main topic of discussion during a visit to Peterborough by Minister Anita Anand.
The President of the Treasury Board was at Market Hall on Friday, taking part in two events including a question and answer period with members of the Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Jeff Leal says this was an important opportunity to give a federal minister a glimpse into some of the issues facing the city.
