St. Patrick’s Day Increased Presence
With St. Patrick’s Day coming up on Monday and the parade on Sunday, the Peterborough Police Service is asking residents choosing to celebrate this weekend — to celebrate responsibly.
Peterborough Police will have an increased presence throughout the City of Peterborough, Village of Lakefield, and Township of Cavan-Monaghan to respond to an anticipated increase in calls for service, such as noise or disturbance calls.
A reminder that the St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held Sunday afternoon (March 16, 2025) starting at 2:00pm. Expect road closures in the area of the route (George Street and McDonnel Street to George Street and McGill) between 12:30pm and 4:00pm.
Chief Betts will be going out on the road on Sunday afternoon/evening.
RIDE check stops will happen throughout the day and evening.
Please don’t drive impaired. If you are going out, make sure you have a safe ride home at the end of your evening.
You can:
- Select a designated driver in your group
- Arrange a ride ahead of time
- Stay overnight if possible
Don’t leave your safety and the safety of others to the Luck of the Irish — Please plan ahead.
Thank you to Constable Grant Eastwood with our Community Services Unit for delivering the message to not drive impaired.
