Wishing everyone a safe & Happy Thanksgiving

Happy birthday to someone who is looking from above proudly. Our school would not exist without him. Hope these brighten your day like you do for so many Keith Covert.

Very appreciative that even in these times folks see value in what we do. Peterborough's Pure Country auction finished today. Our program sold for only 11 % off retail. With no reserve this is exceptional. Thank you & stay safe ! https://maxsold.maxsold.com//23/bidgallery/keyword_driving

Official statement from MTO on driving schools opening. Yes stage 3 has begun, however all driving schools need MTO approval. Thank you to Lina for her hard work during these trying times. We will update when we are notified as she mentions. Until then no school should be doing lessons. Stay safe all. From Prencipe, Michelina (MTO) To [email protected] Date Today 12:09... Hi Kevin, The government is developing a plan to allow Beginner Driver Education providers throughout Ontario to resume in-car instruction as part of the gradual reopening of the province’s economy. We will be in contact with you shortly regarding the status of services provided by driving schools. Thank you for your patience.

Thursday we were made aware Young Drivers of Canada were offering lessons. We reported this to MTO and they were shut down. Please be aware of any schools doing this. Sad that any school would do this especially Canada wide chain using our country's name. Stay safe all and we will continue to update as best we can. kawarthaNOW.com CHEX News.

MTO approved providers not currently permitted to run in class regardless of #'s. We are permitted to run virtually through apps like Zoom. Recording is required unlike normal class. Would you chose the virtual course or wait for now. In car lessons are not permitted at this time. We are hoping for an update on this from MTO soon. Answer for yourself, children, grandchildren, etc. If we reach 100 responses by July 9, one winner of $25 gift certificate their choice. #vote #driving #comments #rt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwV4IH9YcA

Enjoy & please be safe with this ! To be clear this means we are still closed. Driving schools not part of the phase 2 openings. https://twitter.com/fordnation/status/1270380365362999301

Wishing all a safe a Happy Canada Day !

Stay safe all ! https://www.cbc.ca//covid-19-coronavirus-ontario-june-2-st

Starting to receive more calls & happy for the most part. To be clear all MTO approved schools are not legally offering in car lessons. This will be the case until further notice. Also any future dates being offered are simply estimates. It is fine to offer those, for now we choose not to. Be safe all.

Traffic is picking up with more businesses opening. Please remember driving requires total focus and proper choices. Many do not agree with this but its success is proven. Many need to evaluate their driving attitude. #DriveSafe #backtodriving101https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/16/world/ups-trucks-no-left-turns/index.html

Thank you FanSaves & The Think Tank - Peterborough Chamber Members' Community for making this happen. Lots of other great #ptbo buinesses involved in this gift certificate program. #WereAllINThisTogether #shoplocal #TeamPtbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK3mT6NCxnc

Not what some were hoping for but here is the update for DriveTest reopening on June 22. In our opinion it is the correct solution for now. We received a lot of call this week and this confirms we will not be starting in car on 22nd. https://drivetest.ca/home/news.html StoosNews kawarthaNOW.com CHEX News 1005 Fresh Radio Peterborough's Pure Country #WeAreInThisTogether #drivesafe

Thank you for doing this. Hopefully we get many others doing this. Our local Peterborough Chamber of Commerce is doing a great job with this.

Happy Easter all. Please stay safe & enjoy time with loved ones any way you can !

Sad to hear the passing of Bill Pollock. We treasured having Bill as our mentor & then supporter with our school. His kind words on several occasions have been shared on our website & social media. He will be missed by many & our thoughts are with his family.

Agree with Jeannine & need to start putting names out there. Putting others at risk is shameful.

What do folks think about a driving school not practicing Peterborough Public Health recommendation for social distancing. Visiting senior family members daily ?

Please take this seriously! As man says it can happen to anyone.

Always look forward to class. March break group slightly different this year. Have spoke with all parents this afternoon & happy to report everyone supports our decision to run it. Was nice to touch base with all that is happening. Grateful to be healthy & supported by some awesome folks. Appreciate all the kind words for the contact, experience we offer & well wishes.

45 drivers is so sad. Distracted driving kills, need folks to stop thinking it can't happen to them.

Vote for all the great businesses #ptbo #supportlocal

Snow to pick up soon, be safe all, Seeing ice as well. Slow down, lots of space, be prepared & do not panic. #winterdriving #onstorm

Happy Family Day all !

Thank you The City of Peterborough for having us as part of the discussion for driver training in #ptbo. Meeting at City Hall today was constructive in our view. Looking forward to working to a solution that works best. #drivesafe

We will be meeting informally with city next Thursday to discuss driver training. All schools have been invited to cover city receiving complaints & to get our input on challenges we face. For the record we have had one registered complaint in 8 years. It was quickly dismissed by police. If you have anything you would like covered let us know. It can be done here or call us. Be safe everyone.

Do you think our school should offer a sale for something like Black Friday, Holiday season. Also feel free to comment. We appreciate your time. To be honest we have a strong opinion on this but as always are willing to listen & are curious for feedback. #blackfriday #holidaysale #smallbusiness #shoplocal
