Meet Kim Dolan of PARN, Executive Director of Your Community AIDS Resource Network

Kim Dolan believes everyone matters. She’s been working hard for people who don’t have a voice most of her life. In a recent news story,  Kim shares how working at the YWCA Crossroads Shelter in 1989 was a turning point in her life.  “As my thoughts about women’s access to resources changed, I experienced an inner transformation of my values and beliefs.”

As the Executive Director of PARN she is committed to building a Peterborough where everyone is welcome.

Kim is looking forward to connecting with her community on May 1 when PARN hosts its annual ‘A Taste for Life’ fundraiser in Peterborough and the surrounding areas.

Join Andrew and Carol as they sit down and learn more about Kim and her vision for a better world – for everyone.

Rick Fines grew up in Peterborough during an era when the city’s manufacturing industries were thriving, your parent’s profession was described as either blue or white collar, and musicians got their start at the Red Dog Tavern and the Dick Turpin Lounge.

For more than 38 years Rick Fines has been living a life of music – as an award-winning songwriter, performer and teacher.

Whether he’s performing on his own, or with the legendary Jackson Delta, this award-winning troubadour loves to cook Indian food, spend time with his family, welcome newcomers to our community, and so much more.

 

 

Please join Andrew and Carol as they sit down with this Canadian icon of roots music for the most recent episode of 7 Questions Peterborough.  In this episode you will hear Rick play excerpts from two new songs as well.
