Welcome to Kawartha Lakes

It’s that time of year again; the days are a little bit longer, the sun feels a little bit warmer and after a long winter, it is time to get out and explore.

Council and staff are working hard within our community to rebuild following the economic impacts of the pandemic.

Development is booming with 1,500 new residential units approved in 2021. Council’s incentives are working and have attracted investment in 300,000 square feet of approved construction of commercial, industrial, and institutional space last year. With newly reconstructed downtowns in Lindsay and Fenelon Falls, and the Bobcaygeon Beach Park to be completed this year,

We are moving, ever closer, to our vision of a thriving and growing community. This is our year. From our beautiful trails, parks, arenas, and vibrant downtowns, there’s so much to be excited about this year. People of all generations are flocking to Kawartha Lakes. Join them and ‘jump in.’

Andy Letham Mayor, City of Kawartha Lakes

Welcome to Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock

As Federal Member of Parliament, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the riding of Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock and provide a warm welcome to visitors. Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes- Brock provides a choice location in which to live, work, invest and play. The recreational opportunities are abundant. There are many local attractions and cultural events from the beginning of spring to the end of winter. Visit a farmers’ market, enjoy one of our many restaurants and stop in to say hello to our local business owners. They are ready to welcome you. It is my sincere hope that you will enjoy the area and your time here, there are a multitude of things to do and discover in this beautiful and historical area.

Jamie Schmale Member of Parliament
