Welcome to another episode of garden gate. We just recently got some beautiful toys in for the kids, and these are all nature based toys, so things that they can do outside or at the cottage, wherever. So nice to think about for the summer. Now that we've got to get the kids outside once they're out of school. So we have a lot of puzzles. This is a little take and go kind of puzzle. Just 36 pieces. So that's just a little one. This is really cool. This is a solar print kit. So it comes with a paper. You lay something like a fern on the paper set it in the sun and you get these really cool images forming with it includes a couple of little frames as well, so you can frame the art. If you're really happy with it. We have all these great metal watering cans, metal buckets, tool bags, tool kits. We have these really fun bird books. We've had these ones for a little while, but they're awesome. So they're the sound books where you push the little button and then you can hear the song of the bird. So really nice for smaller kids to help them learn what birds they're seeing in the backyard, all kinds of other little puzzles. We've got some really nice gloves for the kids, so if they want to help in the garden, it's nice to have some little gloves for them. Instead of trying to use big adult gloves that are too big for them. Little binocular kit for the kids with some id information there for iding birds, they can make a birdhouse. We have a bird feeder that they can make and paint, which is really fun. We even have some hats and these are little flapjack hats and we're getting another line of hats in as well. So they're really super lots of fun things for the kids. I hope you'll drop by. We'll see you soon. >> The garden gate is brought to you by the avant garden shop, your destination for garden accessories and backyard birding supplies. >> Sherbrooke street, downtown peterborough. >> You're watching "global news" morning peterborough.

>> Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Theresa kaszuba is off today. I'm tricia mason. A large scale investigation that started last year in southwestern ontario led police to a property just outside of sterling. That's where they say they seized more than $3 million in stolen vehicles, including classic cars. I have more on this report. This rural property just outside of sterling is the subject to a large scale police investigation. Two residents have been charged with multiple counts of theft after police say they seized more than a dozen vehicles, including classic cars totaling more than $3 million. >> So these were classic cars as well as some newer cars. They had been, some had been stolen, some had been put together with pieces from multiple stolen vehicles to create a classic vehicle that was then sold, some have been sold, some are still on the property. >> The original complaint was made back in 2023 regarding a stolen vehicle to the lambton county opp. Since then, the opp fleet supplying weapons service bureau, central hastings opp crime unit and emergency response team, along with the provincial auto theft and towing team and provincial asset forfeiture unit, got involved during the investigation, the provincial asset forfeiture unit was able to determine that 16 vehicles were considered. >> Proceeds of crime either purchased or derived through criminal activities. Therefore, they were able to seize them as proceeds of crime and offense related property. >> Sterling residents robert bradshaw and gary leblanc were charged with theft of motor vehicles over $5,000 fraud, over $5,000. They used forged documents and conspiracy to commit an indictable offense. Leblanc was also charged with uttering threats put together. >> It's a very serious, complex investigation involving numerous crimes, according to the database of the ontario motor vehicle industry council, which inspects ontario's dealerships and auto salespeople, both men, in december of 2023 pleaded guilty to multiple charges under the motor vehicle dealers act as an unregistered dealer. >> Both men faced several fines as a result. Constable wade reminds residents to be mindful if they are buying a vehicle through a private deal. >> You could run into an issue where you're buying a vehicle or a stolen vehicle or a fraudulently registered vehicle, so do your due diligence, take your time. If the deal is too good to be true, there's probably a reason for it. >> The accused have since been released and are set to appear in a belleville court at a later date. Now, the investigation is ongoing and according to opp, it could be widespread throughout the province and even the rest of the country. Only one person was sent to hospital after a vehicle collided with a house in the city's north end thursday afternoon. It happened at around four at the corner of chemong road and aberdeen avenue. Damage to the home was minimal, but the airbags were deployed in the vehicle. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Two campbellford high school students have injuries following an alleged fight involving a knife inside the school. "global news" has obtained a letter from the school's principal issued to parents, saying the incident occurred in the hallway between four students. The letter states during the altercation, one student allegedly used a knife which injured their own hands and wounded another student. Northumbria and O.P.P. arrested 218 year old males charging one with assault and the other with assault with a weapon. Two peterborough residents are facing a slew of drug trafficking charges after a suspicious vehicle call near the downtown early thursday morning. Just before 4 a.m, police were called to a parking lot in the water street and parkhill road area and say a man was asleep in the driver's seat of a vehicle that was running. Police allege he was impaired and also took a female passenger into custody. Police say they seized cocaine, crystal meth, fentanyl, marijuana, percocet, oxycodone, xanax, ten cell phones and a large quantity of currency from multiple countries. A 35 year old man and 36 year old woman were charged. Local school boards and first nations are working together to fill the labor shortage and exclusive job fair in hiawatha first nation. Yesterday opened the doors to a career in the skilled trades. Robert lothian explains. >> Never too young to look ahead, these indigenous students spent thursday career cruising. >> This could be life changing, right? If a student finds a trade that they love and are inspired by it's ectoderm, meaghan said. >> Hiawatha first nation, along with the local catholic school board, hosting its first ever

skilled trades fair for indigenous youth fairs like this offer that opportunity for our youth to not only build a career, but to stay within their own community if they choose to do that, more than 150 students met with 74 presenters from dozens of trades, taking the opportunity to ask questions, learn a new skill and try on some new digs. Ontario estimates 360,000 unfilled jobs in the province, claiming 1 in 5 are expected to be in skilled trades by 2025. Electrical. However, for me is I like building things. I like creating something great. 11 student hex fenton drew interviewed for the ontario youth apprenticeship program, and while she's certain her future is in electrical, the fair was still an opportunity to learn. Giving me a new perspective. >> Like before I got here, I like spray painting, garage doors. I did not know that was trades work. I did not know until today, and I got to try it out, which is awesome. >> Industry workers included those with indigenous backgrounds like gary pollen, a recruiter with the ontario power generations iron program, providing support to recruit indigenous men and women into the industry. >> I know all the baby boomers retiring, so there's a big gap to fill and about 40% of our jobs out in the workforce are going to be in skilled trades. So this is great, we're behind the ball. But, you know, projects like mine, my program here, is it really helping fill those gaps for students like paulin's son carter? >> There's still uncertainty about what trade to choose. >> Not yet, but I got two pamphlets. I want to see how it goes to them and keep going. >> And so, with the resources in hand and the opportunities in abundance for these youth, the future can be as bright as they choose. Robert-lothian "global-news" you're watching "chex-peterborough" >> And thursday was a great day to be on the golf course. Over 240 golfers teed off at the cary golf club in ennismore. It was jack's 37th annual golf tournament. Every year, it raises money for the peterborough and district sports hall of fame. It was started by jack gibson decades ago, and his son, doug gibson, has carried on the tradition. >> It's just one of those things, we have a lot of good volunteers down at the hall of fame, and it's one of our fundraisers for the hall of fame, so it's just worthwhile to do the work to try to put this event together. >> Money raised through the golf fees, dinner and auction will be donated to the sports hall of fame to help with operational costs. >> Good morning, happy friday, happy friday, decent weather conditions today, it has been cooler, certainly not quite as humid. And we are tracking some wet weather for the weekend, all due to this disturbance. That will be tomorrow. And I'll time that out for you in the meantime, though. Yeah, certainly cooler overnight and morning than it has been of late. More comfortable out there and that will be the case tonight as well as we drop to near the single digits, you can see there's a front towards the north. Much of that is drying out as it pushes south, so I expect sunshine across the area today and dry weather. Winds are variable at the moment. They will be out of the west at times, but nothing overly strong. We're starting off in the low double digits for the most part across the area, and as we take a look at daytime highs today, low 20s. So that is closer to average. Not the mid to high 20s, even low 30s that we were at at some points earlier this week. So comfortable conditions, even some high teens out there. And you can see the sunshine quiet weather today. It's more towards the late morning that we are going to look at the potential for some showers, the risk of a thunderstorm and that will continue. That risk into the mid afternoon. I think by the evening hours much of that should clear and we dry out and sunday sun cloud mix looking pleasant later monday night into monday. Early monday morning there will be the risk of some thunderstorms, but much of sunday will stay dry. So 21 on saturday we'll have to watch out for that shower. Thunderstorm risk 25 on sunday, and then you can see more of a chance of wet weather early next week. And that's a look at your forecast. >> Thanks, ross.
