The motto is unchanged from the motto which the city has had for a long time. "Nature Provides, Industry Develops", but it is translated into interpretative Latin: "Dat Natura, Elaborant Artes", which means, a little more broadly, that Nature gives bountifully and the arts and crafts and energy of the people develop and elaborate nature's gift. It refers to Peterborough's abundant natural resources, and her industries. | The motto is unchanged from the motto which the city has had for a long time.
