Peterborough Green-Up, a non-profit environmental organization, is taking over control of the Green Expo after this year’s event is over.

Laurie Collette, who founded the annual event that offers environmentally friendly products and services as well as guest speakers, said she wanted to hand over the reins because she felt she needed new challenges after seven years on the job.

“(Green-Up) was simply the best and only choice to take over the Green Expo when I decided to pass it along,” the Lakefield resident said.

Peterborough Green-Up is “excited” to take control, said executive director Sue McGregor- Hunter.

“Our intention is to make the event bigger and better every year,” McGregor-Hunter said.
